【摘要】：频次早在行为主义盛行时期就广受关注,后受语言先天论的影响逐渐淡出学界视野,近年来其地位在语言习得领域重新得以确立。为了确定频次对语言学习的影响,国外关于频次的实证研究此起彼伏。近几年来,国内也有类似研究。研究一致认为频次对语言流利性有显著影响,但是频次对准确性和复杂性的影响还存在很大争议。也有学者认为频次虽然影响语言学习,但还有其他因素也起到一定作用,如二语水平等因素。周丹丹和黄湘(2015)发现频次对不同水平的二语学习者有不同的影响,但是国内类似研究不多,频次效应是否会因二语水平而变化尚待验证。因此,在借鉴国内外众多研究的基础上,本文主要探讨以下几个问题:(1)频次对写作准确性有无显著影响;(2)频次对流利性有无显著影响;(3)频次对复杂性(词汇复杂性和句法复杂性)有无显著影响;(4)频次作用是否受二语水平的影响。本研究选取了英语专业某班32名大三学生作为研究对象。研究方法为实验和访谈。实验历时三周,每周一次相同的读写任务。实验结束后按期末考试成绩从高低水平组分别选取了三名学生进行访谈,旨在更好地理解频次的作用。最后对所有数据进行统计、分析和讨论。研究结果显示:(1)频次对准确性、流利性、词汇复杂性都产生了显著影响,但是对句法复杂性无显著影响;(2)频次对语言能力的影响因二语水平不同而有所差别:就准确性来说,频次对高低水平组都有显著影响,但是高水平组进步更大;对流利性而言,频次对高水平组产生了显著影响,而对低水平组则影响不显著;最后,就复杂性而言,频次对低水平组的句法复杂性产生了显著影响,对高水平组则影响不显著。频次对低水平组的词汇复杂性无显著影响;而对高水平组则有显著影响。频次对语言能力的影响可能与注意力资源分配有关,而二语水平高低可能影响注意力资源分配的效率和自动化完成的速度,因此频次作用又受二语水平的制约。本研究在一定程度上证实了频次影响语言学习,并且这种影响因二语水平的不同有所差别。
[Abstract]:Frequency has attracted much attention since the prevailing period of behaviorism and gradually faded out of academic field under the influence of language innate theory. In recent years, its status has been re-established in the field of language acquisition. In order to determine the influence of frequency on language learning, foreign empirical studies on frequency have sprung up one after another. In recent years, there have been similar studies in China. It is agreed that frequency has a significant effect on language fluency, but the influence of frequency on accuracy and complexity is still controversial. Some scholars believe that although frequency affects language learning, there are other factors, such as second language proficiency. Zhou Dandan and Huang Xiang (2015) found that frequency has different effects on L2 learners at different levels, but there are few similar studies in China. Therefore, on the basis of many studies at home and abroad, this paper mainly discusses the following questions: (1) whether frequency has a significant impact on writing accuracy; (2) whether frequency has a significant effect on fluency; (3) whether frequency has a significant effect on complexity (lexical complexity and syntactic complexity), and (4) whether frequency is influenced by L2 level. In this study, 32 junior English majors were selected. The research methods are experiment and interview. The experiment lasted three weeks with the same reading and writing task once a week. At the end of the experiment, three students were selected from the high and low group according to the final examination scores, in order to better understand the function of frequency. Finally, all the data are analyzed, analyzed and discussed. The results show that: (1) Frequency has a significant effect on accuracy, fluency and lexical complexity, but has no significant effect on syntactic complexity; (2) the influence of frequency on language proficiency varies with the level of second language: in terms of accuracy, frequency has a significant effect on both high and low level groups, but the high level group is more advanced; For fluency, frequency had a significant effect on the high level group, but not on the low level group. Finally, in terms of complexity, frequency has a significant effect on the syntactic complexity of low level group, but not on high level group. Frequency had no significant effect on lexical complexity in low level group, but significant effect on high level group. The influence of frequency on language competence may be related to the allocation of attention resources, while the level of second language level may affect the efficiency of attention resource allocation and the speed of automation, so frequency is restricted by second language level. To some extent, the present study confirms that frequency affects language learning, and this effect varies from language to language level.
