文章通过神经电生理学手段——ERP技术对汉语母语者的英语形态加工、形式加工情况进行研究。从实验结果可以看出,汉语母语者加工英语形态错误句子时,跟形态正确句子相比,在ERP成分上表现为反映控制、整合加工的P600成分,不过波幅较小,表明汉语母语者通过积极的外显的努力能够对形态进行较好的加工;汉语母语者加工英语形式错误句子时,跟形式正确句子相比,表现在ERP成分上为反映自动加工和整合加工的LAN—P600双相波形,表明汉语母语者能够内隐地对形式进行很好的识别和加工。根据汉语母语者形态加工和形式加工所表现出来的脑电成分,我们可以认为汉语母语者英语的形态加工、形式加工有着不同的脑加工机制,汉语母语者英语形态加工、形式加工是分离的。
The thesis examines the English morphology processing and syntactic form processing by Chinese native speakers using event-related brain potentials (ERPs). Compared to morphologically correct English sentences, English morphological violations elicited small P600 (reflecting controlled and integrated processing), which means that Chinese native speakers make explicit efforts to process morphology well. Compared to syntactically correct English sentences, English syntactic violations elicited a biphasic LAN-P600(reflecting automatic processing and integrated processing), which indicates that Chinese native speakers can implicitly recognize and process the syntactic form well. According to ERPs elicited by morphology processing and form processing from Chinese native speakers, we can conclude that the processing mechanisms in the brain of these two kinds of processing are different. English morphology processing and form processing of Chinese native speakers are separated.
