论以频率为基础的二语习得观

随着认知科学和心理语言学研究的发展,语言输入的频率在二语习得中的作用成为二语习得研究者们一个重要的争论焦点.本文在分析N.Ellis(2002a;2002b)所倡导的以频率为基础的二语习得观的基础上,简要回顾语言输入在几个习得理论中的作用,探讨内隐学习在二语习得中的作用以及语言输入频率对二语习得的影响,强调通过借鉴N.Ellis的二语习得观,在英语学习中应重视内隐学习与外显学习的结合.

On Frequency-based Account of SLA

There have been heated arguments over the role of frequency in SLA. The paper first analyzes the frequency-based account advocated by N. Ellis (2002). Then, it briefly reviewes the role of input in three SLA theories. Afterwards, it expounds the role of implicit learning in SLA followed by a discussion on the role of frequency in SLA. The author stresses that we need to pay more attention to implicit learning in Chinese English learning context and regard implicit learning and explicit leaning as complementary learning mechanisms.
