摘　　要：本研究以英汉时空性差异为视角,基于中国学习者英语语料库(CLEC),考察中国学习者英语书面语产出中的"流水句"现象。结果显示,不同学习阶段的中国学习者在习得英语时均会产出"流水句",这是一种值得注意的语言偏误现象。研究通过对相关语料的分析和定性描写发现,母语汉语者产出英语"流水句"是汉语"流水句"在英语习得中的一种无意识负迁移现象,其根源是英汉民族在思维层面的不同时空偏好。From the perspective of English temporality and Chinese spatiality, this study examines ＂run-on sen- tences＂ in the written language retrieved from Chinese Learner English Corpus （CLEC）. As noteworthy errors of syn- tactical and textual nature, run-on sentences have been frequently produced by Chinese EFL learners at different learning stages. By way of the analysis and qualitative survey of these errors and their counterparts in the learners＇ mother tongue Chinese, the study further probes into the causation of these erroneous sentences. The results show that run-on sentences in CLEC are a kind of unconscious and negative transfer incurred by the structural differences be- tween English and Chinese. The root cause of the transfer lies in the English people＇s preference for temporality and the Chinese people＇s preference for spatiality in their thinking modes.
