摘　　要：为了进一步探索词义猜测中的语境效应和语境类型特征,随机抽取的17名中国大学英语学习者依次参加了完型填空测试、目标词知识测试、有声思维词义猜测和个人访谈等四个实验活动。结果发现:受试在语境条件下实现了29%的目标词义增长,目标词语境支持力度的总体得分分布与其在阅读猜测中的词义增长趋势基本一致;目标词对语境效应有调适作用;语篇中的语境类型多样,目标词所处句子的错误句法解读是误导型语境出现的主要根源。In order to further explore the effect of context on deriving the meanings of unknown words and the features of contextu- al types, 17 students, chosen randomly from departments of a teacher＇s college in Anhui province, participated in the present study which consists of 4 experimental tasks-doze test, target word knowledge test, introspective meaning guessing and follow-up interviews. The findings are as follows： （ 1 ） The meanings of unknown target words identified in the word-only condition were in- creased by 29% in context through guessing, and the distribution of scores of target words obtained in doze test corresponds with the trend of scores of target words obtained in guessing during reading; （2）Target words, to some extent, can adjust the effect of context; （3）Various contextual types, with different guiding effects on lexieal inferencing, exist in the experimental passage, and the dominant source of misdirective contexts is the misinterpretation of syntactic structures of linguistic context.
