Abstract: Two experiments aimed to explore the effect of word exposure frequency and second language (L2) proficiency on L2 incidental vocabulary acquisition in high constraint sentence context. The novel words (pseudowords) were put in the end of the sentences for learning, and the number of sentences (1-4) were manipulated to explore the L2 word learning through sentence reading. Semantic relatedness judgment task was adopted in Experiment 1 and word production task was adopted in Experiment 2 for measuring the effect of vocabulary acquisition. The results suggest the effects of word exposure frequency are limited when L2 incidental vocabulary acquisition happened under the high constraint context. In the high constraint sentence context, L2 learners could rapidly establish the form-meaning mapping of new word in the first and second exposure. Besides, the L2 proficiency have a positive impact on these fast mapping process.

摘要: 两个实验以汉-英双语者为被试,考察高限制性句子语境条件下,词汇接触次数和二语熟练程度对二语附带词汇习得的影响。在实验过程中,让被试阅读1-4个高限制性的句子语境,把要学习的英语假词放置在句尾。实验1和实验2分别采用语义相关判断任务和词汇回忆任务测量词汇习得的效果。研究结果表明,在高限制性的句子语境条件下,少数的几次接触陌生词汇即可附带习得词汇的意义;二语熟练度越高,越有助于词汇的习得。
