摘要本文考察了在跨境和非跨境两种情况下，母语英语和母语西班牙语在运动领域中的双向迁移。重点研究了路径的语义成分。此外，它还考察了学习者的熟练程度是否对他们的第一语言和第二语言之间的跨语言影响程度产生了影响。本研究对五组被调查者进行了实验研究：一组为英语单语组，一组为西班牙语单语组，三组为母语为母语的英语学习者。研究结果支持双向迁移的存在。三组学习者在复述二语中的运动事件时表现出二语类型模式：(A)他们在BC和NBC中使用的路径动词少于单语西班牙语组；(B)他们在BC和NBC中产生了编码路径的卫星示例；以及(C)他们在BC中用一个主要动词表达了事件合并。此外，二语对第一语言的影响，虽然这种影响仅限于二语水平较高的学习者，他们比单语英语组使用更多的路径动词。这些结果为双向迁移在二语习得中的作用提供了证据。
Abstract This paper examines bidirectional transfer between L1 English and L2 Spanish in the motion domain, both in boundary crossing [BC] and non-boundary crossing [NBC] situations. It focuses on the semantic component of Path. Furthermore, it examines whether learners’ proficiency has an impact on the degree of cross-linguistic influence [CLI] between their L1 and L2. An experimental study was conducted with five groups of informants: an English monolingual group, a Spanish monolingual group and three groups of L1 English learners of L2 Spanish. The findings support the existence of bidirectional transfer. The three groups of learners exhibited L1 typological patterns when retelling motion events in L2: (a) they used fewer path verbs than the monolingual Spanish group in BC and NBC; (b) they produced examples of satellites encoding the Path in BC and NBC; and (c) they expressed event conflation with one main verb in BC. In addition, the L2 influenced the L1, although this influence was restricted to learners with higher levels of L2 proficiency who used more path verbs than the monolingual English group. These results provide evidence for the role of bidirectional transfer in second language acquisition.
