IN ORDER TO INVESTIGATE HOW BASIC SENTENCE STRUCTURES ARE ACQUIRED AND WHAT COGNITEVE SKILLS ARE CONDUCIVE TO THEIR ACQUISION, SIX DIFFERENT SETS OF TESTS WERE CONDUCTED OVER TWO YEARS AGAINST FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS AT JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL. THE AIMS OF THESE SIX SETS OF TESTS WERE TO ANALYZE BOTH CROSS-SECTIONALLY AND LONGITUDINALLY THE PROCESS IN WHICH BASIC SENTENCE STRUCTURES ARE ACQUIRED BY BEGINNING EFL LEARNERS. THE RESULTS OF THESE TESTS REVEALED, FIRST OF ALL, THAT THE DEGREE OF ACQUISITION LF BASIC SENTENCESTRUCTURES VARIED TO A SIGNIFICANT DEGREE, DEPENDING UPON THE CONTENTS OF THE CHUNKS FUNCTIONING AS THE GRAMMATICAL SUBJECT AND THE PREDICATE VERB WITHIN EACH SENTECE STRUCTURE, EVEN THOUGH THOSE SENTENCES USED IN THE TESTS BELONGED TO THE SAME BASIC SENTENCE STRUCTURES. THIS SUGGESTS THAT IN THE BEGINNING STAGE OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING, THE DEGREE OF ACQUISITION OF BASIC SENTENCE STRUCTURES WILL VARY CONSIDERABLY DEPENDING NOT ONLY UPON THE SYNTACTIC CHARACTERISTICS OF BASIC SENTENCE STRUCTURES BUT ALSO UPON THE FAMILIARITY OF THE LEXICAL ITEMS COMPRISING THE CHUNKS WITHIN THE SENTENCE STRUCTURES. IT WAS ALSO MADE CLEAR THAT SO-CALLED SLOW LEARNERS TEND TO ACQUIRE SENTENCE STRUCTURES AS A WHOLE, USING THE SO-CALLED ITEM LEARNING STRATEGY, WHILE GOOD LEARNERS TEND TO BY MORE SENSITIVE TO THE INTERNAL RELATIONSHIPS HIDDEN BEHIND THE SURFACE LEXECAL ITEMS WITHIN THE BASIC SENTENCE STRUCTURES. THIS DIFFERING ATTITUDE TOWARD BASIC SENTENCE STRUCTURES BETWEEN SLOW LEARENRS AND GOOD LEARNERS IS CONSIDERED TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE STRIKING RESULTS OF THE PRESENT RESEARCH.

为了验证基本句子结构是如何习得的，以及哪些认知技能对基本句子结构的习得有指导作用，研究人员在两年多的时间里对初中一年级学生进行了六组不同的测试。这六组测试的目的是从横向和纵向两个方面分析初学者习得基本句子结构的过程。测试结果表明：第一，尽管测试中使用的句子属于基本句结构，但受试者对基本句结构的习得程度有很大的差异，这取决于每个句子结构中充当语法主语和谓语动词的语块的内容。这表明，在英语语言学习的初始阶段，基本句子结构的习得程度不仅取决于基本句子结构的句法特征，而且取决于组成句子结构中语块的词汇项目的熟悉程度。研究还表明，学习缓慢者倾向于采用项目学习策略来整体习得句子结构，而学习良好者则倾向于对隐藏在基本句子结构中的表层词汇项目背后的语义关系更为敏感。这一差异被认为是造成本研究结果的主要原因。
