中国英语学习者长距离wh-问句习得中主宾语不对称现象研究. /c陈晓湘, et al.
// Foreign language teaching and research. 2013, Vol. 45, No.4.
// 外语教学与研究 2013, 第45卷.第4期 2013.tr. 543-556. This study explores whether there is a subject-object asymmetry in Chinese learners’ processing of English long-distance wh-questions, and, if there is, whether it favours the subject or the object and whether this preference pattern varies with different proficiency levels. In this study the participants divided into four groups at different proficiency levels were asked to take a grammatically judgment test (GJT) and an elicited comprehension test (ECT). The results of the tests reveal that 1) like L1 children, there was an asymmetry between subjects and object wh-questions among Chinese learners in learning English long-distance wh-questions; 2) Chinese learners exhibited the same strong preference for subject extraction regardless of the finiteness or non-finiteness of the embedded clauses, and they performed better on subject wh-questions. In the ECT, the learners with low proficiency were more likely to take object extractions for subject extractions. Just like L1 children, the learners at different proficiency levels consistently preferred subject wh-questions to object wh-questions. This shows that subject wh-questions are easier for the learners than object ones. Our findings go against the conclusions in previous studies that object wh-questions are easier to process and acquire than subject ones. They support the Distance-Based Theory instead of Generalized Theta Attachment.
