Abstract

Implicit causality (IC) is a phenomenon where verbs supply information about the potential cause of the behavior or state to one of the antecedents (e.g., "Mary praised David because…" will continue about David, not Mary). The study examines the influence of IC information and second language (L2) proficiency on Chinese English learners' pronoun anaphoric inference. Results from an eye-tracking study showed that Chinese English learners can actively use IC information in making pronoun anaphoric inference. Additionally, compared to low-proficiency learners, high-proficiency learners spent less time on making pronoun anaphoric inference. The findings indicate that Chinese English learners can activate IC information early, before the disambiguating information appears, thus supporting the focusing account. Furthermore, L2 proficiency also affects this process.

基于动词的隐含因果关系信息和第二语言水平对中国英语学习者的代词拟人推理的影响:来自眼动的证据
隐性因果关系(IC)是指动词向前置词之一提供行为或状态的潜在原因信息的现象(例如,"玛丽称赞大卫是因为...... "将继续讲述大卫,而不是玛丽)。本研究探讨了 IC 信息和第二语言(L2)水平对中国英语学习者的代词拟人推理的影响。眼动跟踪研究结果表明,中国英语学习者在进行代词拟人推理时能积极使用 IC 信息。此外,与低水平学习者相比,高水平学习者在进行代词拟人推理时花费的时间较少。研究结果表明,中国英语学习者能在消歧信息出现之前及早激活IC信息,从而支持了聚焦说。此外,第二语言能力也会影响这一过程。
