汉语儿童英语单词命名策略研究

运用定量研究的方法调查了汉语儿童英语单词命名中的策略使用情况。128名小学六年级的学生参加了此次实验。被试给混杂在规则和不规则单音节和双音节英语词汇表中的高频和低频词命名。不规则词语使读者倾向于使用词汇路径,而纯规则词语构成的词汇表却使目标词中的非词汇信息得到了更有效的运用。当词汇表主要由规则或不规则双音节填塞词构成时,词频效应就达到了。相对于单音节规则词语,当填塞词是单音节不规则词语时,频率效应显著增大。此研究结果拓展了之前的浅正字法研究,这表明作为第二语言学习者的汉语儿童在较深的正字法,即英语的单词命名中也能对音位和词汇信息灵活地加以运用。

A Study of Chinese Children's Strategies in English Word Recognition

This paper,employing quantitative approach,examines Chinese children＇s strategies in English word recognition.128 children from a primary school participated in the experiment.Participants named high- low-frequency regular one-syllable English words embedded within lists of regular or irregular one-or two-syllable English words.Irregular words should bias the reader toward the lexical route,whereas a list consisting exclusively of regular words should allow more efficient use of sublexical information present in the word.These results extend those reported for a shallow orthography,and indicate Chinese children＇s strategic control over the use of phonological and lexical information in a deeper orthography or English word naming.
