学龄儿童汉语增元结构的加工研究
The Processing of Chinese Applicative Constructions by School-age Children
摘要
Abstract
This study investigates the processing of Chinese applicative constructions and the development of syntactic awareness in school-age children aged 7-11,employing grammaticality judgment and self-paced reading tasks.The findings reveal that a stage-wise development of the syntactic awareness of Chinese applicative constructions in school-age children,with ages 9-10 identified as a critical phase.The results also exhibit an asynchrony of maturation and acceptance between rightward and leftward constructions,indicating the significant influence of directional possessive relations on development.This asynchrony may be attributed to factors such as the production time in earlier childhood,verb frequency,and the asymmetry phenomenon of gain-and loss-applicative constructions.Druing the processing of applicative constructions,school-age children encountered greater difficulty in integrating the applicative argument than that in prepositional dative constructions,suggesting that applicative operation impose additional processing load due to violations of theta theory.This finding refutes the transformational relationship between the two constructions.The directional possessive relation does not significantly influence processing,which suggests that the participants may employ a syntactic-first processing strategy,by allocating more processing resources to the parsing syntactic information of applicative constructions.The results validate the applicability of the applicative phrase analysis in Chinese and the psychological reality of theta theory.Moreover,these findings reveal the limitations and developmental trajectory of syntactic processing in school-age children,providing insights into grammar instruction for school-age children.关键词
