本族语者在一系列语言领域中表现出系统的变异，这是各种社会语言学变量的函数。本文论述了多能力背景下的母语变异，即一个头脑中的两种语言知识（Cook，1991）。通过对日语功能性单语者和非单语者的运动描述的分析，发现（1）第二语言习得影响了日语功能性单语者在第一语言小句中运动信息的分配;（2）这些影响可以在第二语言知识比通常研究的高级双语能力水平少得多的情况下看到;（3）二语沉浸在这一领域的影响似乎很小，因为日本的英语使用者作为第二语言（ESL），与日本人使用英语作为外语（EFL）的情况没有区别。我们讨论了新兴的多能语法的表征方面的调查结果，并为构建的“母语”，语言教学和语言评估的影响。
Native speakers show systematic variation in a range of linguistic domains as a function of a variety of sociolinguistic variables. This article addresses native language variation in the context of multicompetence, i.e. knowledge of two languages in one mind (Cook, 1991). Descriptions of motion were elicited from functionally monolingual and non-monolingual speakers of Japanese, with analyses focusing on clausal packaging of Manner and Path. Results revealed that (1) acquisition of a second language (L2) appears to affect how speakers distribute information about motion in and across clauses in their first language (L1); (2) these effects can be seen with rather less knowledge of a second language than the advanced bilingual proficiency level typically studied; and (3) there appears to be little effect of L2 immersion in this domain since Japanese users of English as a second language (ESL) did not differ from Japanese users of English as a foreign language (EFL). We discuss the findings with respect to characterizations of emerging multicompetent grammars, and to implications for the construct of 'the native speaker', for language pedagogy and language assessment.
