摘要
英语学习者如何利用语言输入产出名词短语值得关注.本文以169名英语学习者听后故事复述为语料,探究英语水平和短语长度对学习者名词短语使用频率的影响.名词短语包括与故事原文相同和不同的短语.混合效应模型分析发现,英语水平和短语长度在学习者短语使用频率中有主效应和交互效应.在相同名词短语使用频率上,低、中和低、高水平组之间英语水平效应显著;不同长度短语的使用频率均有显著差异,短语长度与英语水平之间存在交互效应.针对不同名词短语,英语水平和短语长度对短语使用频率的影响减弱,交互效应只存在于低、高水平组对二词与多词短语使用频率的对比中.这些发现为了解英语学习者如何运用语言输入中的名词短语提供了有价值的启示.
Abstract
EFL learners'use of language input to produce noun phrases merits attention.Employing the texts retold by 169 English learners after listening to a story,this article explores how EFL proficiency and phrasal length influence the frequency of noun phrases.The noun phrases in-clude the phrases identical to and different from those in the story.A mixed effects model analy-sis revealed the main and interaction effects of EFL proficiency and phrasal length on the fre-quency of noun phrases.In the frequency of identical noun phrases,the EFL proficiency effect was significant for the contrasts of both the low-intermediate and the low-high proficiency groups,whilst significant disparities were observed across varying lengths of noun phrases,demon-strating an interaction effect between phrasal length and EFL proficiency.With regard to differ-ent noun phrases,the influence of EFL proficiency and phrasal length on the noun phrase fre-quency was weakened,and the interaction effect was observed only in the frequencies of two-word and multi-word noun phrases between the low and high proficiency groups.These findings provide valuable insights into how EFL learners employ noun phrases from language input.
