为了进一步探析英语熟练程度与英语关系从句习得之间的关系,笔者以名词短语可及性层级假设为主要理论基础,以112名中国大学本科生为研究对象,通过四项测试收集了数据。研究结果表明:英语熟练程度确实影响外语学习者所使用的英语关系从句的数量、类型、种类以及准确性,但是这一影响随着语言熟练程度的提高而逐渐减小。
In order to further explore the influence of English proficiency upon the acquisition of English relative clauses, the researchers of this study, using Noun Phrase Accessibility Hierarchy as the major theoretical basis, collected the data by giving four tests to 112 Chinese university EFL students. The results showed that the level of English proficiency did influence the EFL learners' acquisition of English relative clauses in the aspects of number, type, variety and accuracy, but the effect was reduced gradually with the increase in the proficiency level.
