摘　　要：本文在作文和完形填空语料的基础上,分析我国大学英语学习者冠词使用与名词短语三个特征(特指性、听话者的知识、可数性)之间的关系;同时考察了任务类型和汉语无冠词系统两个因素对学习者使用英语冠词的影响。研究发现:(1)名词短语的三个特征都对英语冠词的出现及正确率有显著影响;(2)受试在写作任务中冠词使用的正确率比在完形填空中高;(3)受试常用零冠词代替其他冠词类型,可能是母语影响和经济原则作用的结果。By analyzing writings and cloze data, this paper investigated the relationship between Chinese university students' use of English articles and NP's three features, including referent specificity, hearer's knowledge and countability. Besides, task types and the absence of articles in Chinese were also taken into account. Three findings were obtained: (1) All of NP's three features had significant effects on the appearance and accuracy of English articles. (2) The subjects used the articles obviously better in writing than in cloze. (3) They often overgeneralized zero article, probably due to the joint influence of L1 and the Principle of Economy.
