一项眼动追踪实验研究了接触第二语言(L2)如何影响第一语言的句子解析。44个单语西班牙语发言者,24个熟练的西班牙语,英语双语者有限的沉浸在L2环境中的经验和20个熟练的西班牙语,英语双语者与广泛的L2沉浸经验阅读暂时模糊的结构。这种歧义关系到出现在复杂名词短语(NP)之后的关系从句(RC)是否被解释为修饰复杂NP中的第一个或第二个名词(El policia arresto a la hermana del criado que estaba enferma desde hacia tiempo)。结果表明,而西班牙语单语扬声器和西班牙语-英语双语接触有限的可靠连接的关系从句的第一个名词,西班牙语-英语双语接触广泛的连接相对于第二个名词。结果进行了讨论的句子分析的模型最一致的调查结果。
An eye tracking experiment examined how exposure to a second language (L2) influences sentence parsing in the first language. Forty-four monolingual Spanish speakers, 24 proficient Spanish-English bilinguals with limited immersion experience in the L2 environment and 20 proficient Spanish-English bilinguals with extensive L2 immersion experience read temporarily ambiguous constructions. The ambiguity concerned whether a relative clause (RC) that appeared after a complex noun phrase (NP) was interpreted as modifying the first or the second noun in the complex NP (El policia arresto a la hermana del criado que estaba enferma desde hacia tiempo). The results showed that whereas the Spanish monolingual speakers and the Spanish-English bilinguals with limited exposure reliably attached the relative clause to the first noun, the Spanish-English bilingual with extensive exposure attached the relative to the second noun. Results are discussed in terms Of models of sentence parsing most consistent with the findings.
