汉语作为第二语言的关系从句习得难度调查

通过句子连接的语言测试任务和调查39名外国留学生汉语关系从句的习得情况,以及分析研究中心词位置和关系从句类型对汉语关系从句习得的影响,并与关系从句习得的八种假设进行对照,结果发现：（1）中心词位置对汉语关系从句的习得没有产生显著的影响;（2）关系从句的类型对习得的影响是显著的;（3）中心词位置还与关系从句的类型交互作用影响二语习得。这主要是由关系从句的加工策略与汉语关系从句的句法结构两个因素共同作用的结果。

An Investigation of the Relative Clause Acquisition by Learners of Chinese as a Second Language

Thirty-nine advanced learners of Chinese as a second language were investigated on the acquisition difficulty of Chinese relative clauses by a sentence combination task.The effects of the position of the head noun in the matrix（subject and object） and the gap in the relative clause（subject,direct object,indirect object,and object of preposition） were analyzed,and then contrasted with the eight hypotheses concerning the acquisition of relative clauses.The findings indicate that the position of the head noun is not significant in the acquisition of Chinese relative clauses but the type of the relative clause is;besides,the two factors affect the acquisition interactively.The causes of the results are then discussed in the light of the processing strategies of relative clauses and the syntactic structure of Chinese relative clauses.
