摘　　要：本文对比分析英汉名词的数范畴系统差异,指出由于语言人群对世界的本体观不同,两种语言的名词语义指向存在"物体"和"物质"的差异。由此推测中国EFL学习者英语名词的数标记习得与物体分类的认知模式存在关联。为此,进行了两组物体分类实验:英语高水平组和低水平组。数据显示,两组受试在选择物体分类标准上存在显著性差异,高水平组倾向"以形状分类物体",低水平组在复杂认知活动中则倾向"材质标准"。结果基本验证了假设,学习者的语言水平从低到高的变化反映了认知模式的跨语言变化。The research investigates the nominal number in English and Chinese comparatively, and suggests that due to the different ontological views the speakers of the two languages have about the reality, their nouns refers implicitly to ＂objects＂ and ＂mass＂ respectively. Hence, the research predicts that the acquisition of numeral mark corresponds with change of the object classifying pattern in EFL learning.The prediction is verified in general by the results from two empirical experiments with EFL learners of high and low language proficiency levels： the subjects of high proficiency level tend to classify objects with shape standard while the other group tend to use mass standard in the more complicated experiment.
