摘要
本研究采用ERP技术,考察指称限定词和量化限定词对中国学习者加工英语主谓一致的影响。结果表明,一致“遗漏错误”诱发了P600;限定词的不同指称性和数标注特征影响ERP加工模式:指称性特征导致P600头皮分布的差异;数标注特征导致P600潜伏期和ERP成分的差异。研究发现:1)二语者对英语主谓一致“遗漏错误”敏感,当题元动词的单数句法特征作为线索在工作记忆中提取不到特征相匹配的主语时,诱发了P600;2)限定词特征不同,二语主谓一致的加工模式也迥异。研究结果为基于线索的记忆提取模型提供了新的二语ERP证据,并对二语学习者的主谓一致习得具有教学启示。
Using the event-related potential(ERP),this research examined the influence of different determiners(i.e.referential determiners and quantificational determiners) on Chinese-speaking learners' processing of English subject-verb agreement.The results indicated that the ERP timelocked to the verb showed a P600 in response to subject-verb agreement violations with omission errors.ERP processing patterns were affected by referentiality and number specification of determiners.Referentiality led to differences in scalp distribution of P600 and number specification gave rise to distinctive P600 latency and ERP components.The study revealed that:(1) L2 learners were sensitive to subject-verb agreement violations with omission errors and P600 was elicited when the syntactic feature [+singular] of thematic verbs was used as a cue but failed to retrieve the number-matching subject in the working memory;and(2) L2 processing patterns of subject-verb agreement varied with different features of determiners.The findings provide new L2 ERP evidence to cue-based models of memory retrieval and have pedagogical implications for L2 subject-verb agreement acquisition.
