本研究旨在探讨一般英语水平和留学经历对第二语言英语语用理解的影响。研究对象为25名以英语为母语的日本大学生和64名以英语为母语的日本大学生。第1组（n = 22）的熟练程度较低，没有出国留学的经验。 第二组（n = 20）和第三组（n = 22）的熟练程度高于第一组，但在他们的留学经历不同。 第2组没有海外学习经验，但第3组在英语国家至少有1年的海外学习经验。他们完成了一项语用听力测试，测试他们理解常规和非常规含义的能力。小组的表现进行了比较的理解准确性分数和反应时间。熟练程度对反应时间有显著影响，但留学经历没有影响。理解准确性分数显示混合的结果。留学经历有利于学生理解非规约含义和常规表达，但不利于学生理解间接拒绝。
This cross-sectional study examined the effect of general proficiency and study-abroad experience on pragmatic comprehension in second-language English. Participants were 25 native English speakers and 64 Japanese college students of English divided into three groups. Group 1 (n = 22) had lower proficiency and no study-abroad experience. Group 2 (n = 20) and Group 3 (n = 22) had higher proficiency than Group 1 but differed in their study-abroad experience. Group 2 had no study-abroad experience, but Group 3 had a minimum of 1 year of study-abroad experience in an English-speaking country. They completed a pragmatic listening test measuring their ability to comprehend conventional and nonconventional implicatures. Group performance was compared for the comprehension accuracy scores and response times. There was a significant effect of proficiency on response times but no effect of study-abroad experience. Comprehension accuracy scores revealed mixed findings. It was advantageous for students to have study-abroad experience in the comprehension of nonconventional implicatures and routine expressions but not in indirect refusals.
