Abstract

Knowledge of the effects of task design features on linguistic performance is essential to obtain the right conclusions in linguistic research. Several studies have explored the effects of task modality in second language learners (Johnson, 1992; Murphy, 1997; Shiu, Yalçın, & Spada, 2018). These studies showed that L2 learners perform better when the stimulus is presented in written form compared to aural form. However, the effect of task modality in linguistic performance is an area that needs exploration in the field of heritage bilingualism research (Jegerski, 2018). Thus, the purpose of this study is to determine the effects of task modality on linguistic performance in heritage bilinguals. Participants in this study included 63 heritage bilinguals divided into high- and low-proficiency groups. All participants completed a proficiency test, a language background questionnaire, an aural speeded acceptability judgment task, and a written speeded acceptability judgment task. The statistical analysis revealed a significant effect of task modality on linguistic performance. High-proficiency heritage bilinguals performed significantly better (i.e., shorter reaction times) when the stimuli were presented in aural form.  The results of this study contribute to the existing body on research methods in linguistic and specifically, to the effects that design features may have on linguistic performance in heritage bilinguals.

任务情态在传统双语研究中的作用
在语言研究中,了解任务设计特征对语言表现的影响是得出正确结论的必要条件。一些研究探讨了任务模式对第二语言学习者的影响(Johnson, 1992;墨菲,1997;Shiu, Yalçın, & Spada, 2018)。这些研究表明,当刺激以书面形式呈现时,第二语言学习者的表现比以听觉形式呈现时更好。然而,任务情态对语言表现的影响是传统双语研究领域需要探索的领域(Jegerski, 2018)。因此,本研究的目的是确定任务模态对传统双语者语言表现的影响。本研究的参与者包括63名传统双语者,分为高水平组和低水平组。所有参与者都完成了能力测试、语言背景问卷、听觉快速可接受性判断任务和书面快速可接受性判断任务。统计分析表明,任务形态对语言表现有显著影响。当刺激物以听觉形式呈现时,高熟练程度的传统双语者表现明显更好(即反应时间短)。本研究的结果有助于现有的语言学研究方法,特别是设计特征可能对传统双语者的语言表现产生的影响。
