内容摘要

本研究调查主题熟悉度对通过阅读附带习得二语词汇的影响,对其中涉及到的读者的背景图式和词汇推理过程也进行了相关探讨。本文提出了三个主要的研究问题:1) 中国中等程度的英语学习者能否通过阅读附带习得词汇?2) 主题熟悉度对中国二语学习者在阅读中附带习得词汇是否有影响?3) 怎样描述阅读中二语词汇附带习得的结果,或者说,通过阅读附带习得二语词汇的模式是什么样的? 为了回答上述问题,本研究对大学非英语专业本科生进行了实证调查。受试者阅读两篇包含有生造词的说明文,分别为主题熟悉与不熟悉的文章。在阅读完文章后,两种测试词汇的方法—翻译和多项选择用来测量受试的词汇习得。两个月后,同样的测试再进行一次。实验结果表明,在多项选择任务中,主题熟悉度对阅读中二语词汇的附带习得有显著影响。这表明实验中中国学生运用背景知识来帮助阅读理解及词汇意义的推理。然而在翻译任务中,主题熟悉度并没有表现出显著的影响,而且受试词汇的习得量很少。本研究的定量结果与定性结果互为补充,不仅为证明主题熟悉度制约阅读中二语词汇的附带习得提供了证据,而且表明阅读理解及建立新词汇的形式—意义联系的认知过程受到读者背景知识图式的影响。最后,本文对实验结果进行了讨论并提出了本研究对二语词汇教学的意义。同时,文章也对将来这个领域的研究提出了一些建议。
