摘要
本文旨在介绍三语习得这一新兴研究领域的重要理论和研究方法.通过界定三语习得的研究对象和范围,介绍语言学框架下三语句法习得的重要模型及实验手段,本文对目前三语习得中关注的重要问题、核心要素及相关理论进行了全面梳理和讨论.此外,也详细介绍了汉语作为第三语言的现有研究,强调了将东亚语言尤其是汉语纳入三语研究范围的重要性,以期从更大范围及更多角度全面探索三语习得的机制.
Abstract
This study presents a comprehensive picture of the nascent field of cutting-edge third language(L3)acquisition research.We discuss the scope of L3 acquisition research and examine current influential L3 models and relevant experiment designs.Main issues in the field and key factors influencing L3 initial stage transfer and later development are also discussed.Particular attention is paid to L3 studies on Chinese as the target language to highlight the importance of East Asian languages,especially Chinese,in L3 acquisition research.Our results highlight that innovative theoretical and methodological approaches are in demand to explore mechanisms of L3 acquisition in a comprehensive way.
