摘　　要：本文运用结构启动范式考察了中国英语学习者及物句和不及物句的表征模式。实验发现当启动句为不及物结构时,高、低水平受试倾向产出不及物句;当启动句为及物结构时,低水平受试倾向产出不及物句,但高水平受试倾向产出及物句;高水平受试在两种启动条件下都有重复启动效应,而低水平受试没有。这说明中国英语学习者的句法表征是一个发展的模式:从低水平学习者的以不及物句为原型的表征模式向高水平学习者的具体词汇表征模式发展。这个模式可以用基于用法的理论来解释。An experiment using structure priming paradigm was conducted to investigate Chinese English learners'representation of mono-transitive and intransitive structures.The results showed that when the priming was intransitive structures,both high and low proficiency learners tended to produce more intransitive sentences;when the priming was transitive structures,low proficiency learners tended to produce more intransitive sentences while high proficiency learners more transitive sentences.Moreover,lexical boost effects were found in high proficiency learners'outputs,but not in low proficiency learners'.The findings indicated that Chinese English learners'syntactic representation was a developmental model:low proficiency learners' representation was prototyped on intransitive representation and high proficiency learners'was lexically specific.This model was consistent with the Usage Based Approach.
