摘要/Abstract

摘要： 选取大学英语专业的高熟练度双语者与非英语专业的低熟练度双语者作为被试，利用自控速度阅读与生成意义即止任务，探讨了母语为汉语的高熟练度双语者和低熟练度双语者对英语wh疑问句的加工策略。通过分析反应时和不合理判断率，发现高熟练度双语者采用了填充驱动策略，对句子的加工易受句子合理性的影响。低熟练度双语者则采用了最后间隙策略，同时对句子合理性限制完全免疫，这可能与其工作记忆容量较小或者是二语的熟练程度偏低有关，说明二语熟练度在一定程度上会对双语者加工wh-疑问句产生影响。

关键词: wh疑问句, 双语者, 二语熟练度, 填充驱动策略, 最后间隙策略

Abstract: This study investigated the processing of English wh-questions by high proficiency and low proficiency Chinese learners of English as a second language. Performance was evaluated in relation to parsing strategies and sensitivity to plausibility constraints by a stop making sense task. The result showed that only high proficiency subjects were using Filler-driven Strategy, but low proficiency subjects did not useit. Some evidences showed that they were likely to use the Gap as last resort strategy. And high proficiency could utilize semantic information (plausiblity constraints) to adjust parsing process, as shown by a reduction in the garden-path effect when the filler was implausible as the direct object of the verb, however the low proficiency subjects were totally immune from the plausibility constraints, which probably caused by the low working memory of English and the applying of Gap as last resort strategy.

Key words: wh-questions, second language learner, second language proficiency, filler-driven strategy, gap as last resort strategy
