摘　　要：本研究采用问卷调查的方式,对分别来源于初级、中级和高级三组不同英语水平的90名学习者进行了实验检测,试图在语篇层面揭示中国英语学习者中介语由话题突出向主语突出转移的规律。研究发现:首先,汉语话题链特征会迁移到中国英语学生的中介语中去,出现中介语中零回指的泛化现象;其次,中国英语学习者的中介语语篇特征也体现第二语言习得过程从话题突出向主语突出转移,验证了语篇迁移的假设。研究的结果有助于从语篇角度更好地理解中国英语学习者从话题突出到主语突出的中介语发展情况。The present study aims to investigate the general characteristics of topic-prominent interlanguage development of Chinese EFL learners in the process of acquiring subject-prominent English structures from the discourse perspective. A questionnaire study is conducted with 90 students in three different proficiency groups -- beginning, intermediate and advanced. Two important findings were yielded from the present study. First, the characteristics of Chinese topic chain are transferrable to the interlanguage of Chinese EFL learners, thus resuhing in overgeneralization of zero anaphora; second, interlanguage discourse of Chinese EFL learners reflects the characteristics of a second language acquisition process from topic-prominence to subject-prominence, thus lending support to the discourse transfer hypothesis. The findings of the present study contribute to a better understanding of Chinese EFL learners＇ interlanguage development from topic-prominence to subject-prominence from the perspective of discourse.
