项目摘要

A continuing debate in L2 acquisition research is the extent to which adult second language (L2) learners have access to Universal Grammar (UG). Recent research addressing this matter has focussed on formal features of functional categories which are not activated in the L1. This study continues this line of enquiry by investigating whether Japanese speakers can acquire formal features which drive wh-movement in wh-questions (features [+wh, +Q]) and relative clauses (feature [+R]) in English, but are not instantiated in Japanese, using the following two principles of UG : Subjacency Principle (SP) and Generalised Blocking Principle (GBP).To test whether Japanese speakers have acquired the formal features [+wh, +Q] and [+R] in English, and hence are sensitive to SP and GBP effects, a grammaticality judgement task with a five-point scale was administered to five different proficiency levels of adult Japanese speakers, as well as to English native controls. This test had a set of grammatical and ungrammatical relative clauses violating Subjacency. To check the potential effect of the participants' first language (L1), a different group of Japanese speakers were given another grammaticality judgement task with Japanese equivalents of sentences violating Subjacency in English.As a result, there was a proficiency-related increase in possible correct judgement, and adult Japanese learners of English showed the same understanding of relative clauses as native speakers when they reached the high-intermediate level and also of wh-questions when they arrived at the advanced level. This means that advanced Japanese learners of English can acquire feature-driven wh-movement in wh-questions and relative clauses in English, although they were affected by L1 in judging some sentences violating Subjacency constraints as ungrammatical.
在二语习得研究中,成人第二语言学习者在多大程度上能够获得普遍语法是一个持续存在的争论。最近关于这一问题的研究集中在第一语言中没有激活的功能范畴的形式特征上。本研究运用普遍语法原则(SP)和广义阻断原则(GBP)考察了日语使用者是否能够习得英语wh-疑问句(Feature[+wh,+Q])和关系从句(Feature[+R])中的形式特征,但在日语中没有被实例化。为了检验日语使用者是否习得了英语中的形式特征[+wh,+Q]和[+R],从而对SP和GBP效应敏感,本研究对五个不同水平的成年日语使用者进行了语法判断。以及英语本机控件。这项测试有一组语法和非语法的关系从句违反了邻接性。为了检验受试者第一语言(L1)的潜在影响,另一组日语使用者被给予了另一项语法判断任务,其中日语对应的句子违反了英语中的邻接性。结果是,正确判断的可能性与熟练程度有关,成年的日本英语学习者在达到高-中级水平时对关系从句的理解与本族语者相同,在达到高级水平时对wh-疑问句的理解也与本族语者相同。这意味着,日语高级英语学习者在判断违反相邻约束的句子是否符合语法规则时,虽然受到母语的影响,但在wh疑问句和关系从句中仍能习得特征驱动的wh移位。
