本研究探讨了第二语言句子加工的自动化。它比较了在何种程度上仅仅加速（更快的执行）和重组（更稳定的执行）的句子处理有助于第二语言的口语表现。迷宫任务用于测量句子加工的速度（反应时，RT）和加工稳定性（变异系数，CV）。诱发性模仿（EI）任务测量二语口语水平（重复准确性和准确性的复数和第三人称）。这些任务是由110名英语作为外语的学习者与日语作为他们的L1。结果表明，只有反应时，而不是CV，显着预测二语口语水平。即使一个小组的学习者，谁以前留在一个讲英语的国家，表现出一些迹象的自动化，RT是一个更好的预测L2口语能力比CV，无论沉浸的经验。这些结果表明，CV在预测二语口语水平方面的实用价值不大。
The present study investigates the automatization of second language (L2) sentence processing. It compares the extent to which a mere speedup (faster execution) and restructuring (more stable execution) of sentence processing contribute to L2 oral performance. The maze task is used to measure the speed (reaction time, RT) and processing stability (coefficient of variance, CV) of sentence processing. The elicited imitation (EI) task measures L2 oral proficiency (repetition accuracy and accuracy in plural and third person s). These tasks were performed by 110 English-as-a-foreign-language learners with Japanese as their L1. The results show that only RT, not CV, significantly predicts L2 oral proficiency. Even though a subgroup of learners, who previously stayed in an English-speaking country, demonstrated some indications of automatization, RT was a better predictor of L2 oral proficiency than CV, irrespective of immersion experience. These findings suggest that CV has little practical value in predicting L2 oral proficiency.
