摘　　要：The word processing depth hypothesis implies a positive association between learners＇ word processing and their lexical learning. In research, learners＇ task-inherent involvement load （i.e., word processing） has not been found to be consistently associated with their lexical learning. Meanwhile, existing studies have not obtained consensus results, either, from directly associating learners＇ actual word processing and their lexical learning. Against this backdrop, this paper reports a study investigating the association between Chinese EFL learners＇ actual word processing and their lexical learning in performing a collaborative oral output task. Interactional and statistical analyses revealed that the participants engaged in four types of word processing; their overall word processing was significantly correlated with both their productive and receptive word acquisition and retention; their different types of word processing were significantly correlated with their productive word learning, but showed variances in correlations with their receptive word learning. The findings were discussed from the perspectives of word processing in collaborative output, word processing and lexical learning, and word processing and different modes of lexical learning.根据词汇深度处理假设,学习者的词汇处理和词汇习得应该呈正相关。但是,实证研究发现,任务固有投入量并不总是和学生的词汇习得相关,因为任务固有投入量并不等同于学生完成任务中的实际词汇处理量;同时,现有研究对学生实际词汇处理量和词汇习得之间关系的发现也不一致。基于上述背景,本文报告了一项中国英语学习者在完成合作口头输出任务中的实际词汇处理量和词汇习得相关的研究。互动和统计分析表明,受试共进行了四种词汇处理;受试的总体词汇处理量和其产出性和接收性词汇习得和延时记忆都呈正相关;受试的分项词汇处理量和其产出性词汇学习呈正相关,但和其接收性词汇学习并不总是相关。本文从合作输出中的词汇处理、词汇处理和词汇学习以及词汇处理和不同模式的词汇学习三个方面对上述发现进行了讨论。
