项目摘要
The purpose of this study is to elucidate the types of real-time processing strategies adult Japanese speakers use to comprehend sentences in the acquisition of L2 English. Especially, focusing on the constructions of relative clauses and wh-questions which are considered one of the most difficult structures for them to acquire due to the great difference between Japanese and English, we will examine sentence processing by L2 learners using an on-line experiment in which we measure their reaction times to understand the constructions.The experiment was as follows. Using stimuli like The lady who(m) I employed last month works hard and *This is the house which we heard the news that Dick bought, the latter of which is ungrammatical because of the violation of Subjacency, the participants read the sentences in the self-paced moving window condition. In this technique, they sit in front of a computer screen and each sentence is presented on the computer screen, one word/phrase at a time. The word/phrase appear in linear position in the sentence moving across the screen from left to right. Upon pressing the pushbutton, previous word/phrase disappears). This gives a measure of how fast participants understand the sentence and a decision of which points in the sentence are difficult to process.Participants are classified into several levels ob the basis of their English proficiency as measured by Oxford Placement Test. The experiment ended up with a pilot experiment due defects in stimuli, setting of program, finding enough participants (especially, advanced and non-Japanese learners of English), so that we could not have results we had expected at the outset. Problems are piling up, and hence, we have to continue to elaborate a study plan and investigate the mechanisms of L2 acquisition with the sufficient number of participants. To this end, we are now planning a new experiment.
本研究的目的是阐明成年日本人在二语英语习得过程中理解句子所使用的实时加工策略类型。由于日语和英语之间的巨大差异,我们将特别关注关系从句和wh-疑问句的结构,这被认为是他们最难习得的结构之一,我们将通过在线实验来检验二语学习者的句子处理,我们测量了他们理解结构的反应时间。实验如下。使用“上个月我雇佣的女士工作努力”和“这是我们听说迪克买的房子,后者因为违反从属性而不符合语法”这样的刺激,参与者在自定节奏的移动窗口条件下阅读句子。在这种方法中,他们坐在电脑屏幕前,电脑屏幕上显示每个句子,一次一个单词/短语。单词/短语在句子中以线性的位置在屏幕上从左到右移动。按下按钮后,上一个单词/短语消失。这可以衡量参与者理解句子的速度,并判断句子中哪些点难以理解。根据牛津分班考试的英语水平,学员被分为几个级别。由于刺激、程序设置、寻找足够多的参与者(特别是高级和非日本英语学习者)方面的缺陷,实验最终以试点实验结束,因此我们无法获得我们一开始预期的结果。问题越来越多,因此,我们必须继续制定研究计划,并在足够数量的参与者的情况下研究二语习得的机制。为此,我们正在计划一个新的实验。
