摘　　要：本研究考查以汉语为母语的高水平英语学习者对前缀与后缀派生词的识别加工是否存在差异。研究含两个实验,实验一采用前掩蔽启动词汇判断任务,考查前缀派生词对其词根(如disagree-AGREE)的判断是否存在促进作用以及后缀派生词对其词根的启动效应(如sailor-SAIL)是否存在差异,并对比与前后缀相对应的词形相关词对其内镶嵌词(如nuclearCLEAR、pillow-PILL)的启动情况。实验二要求被试对带有前缀或后缀的有词素结构假词(如resuit、printful)和相应的无词素结构假词(如lesuit、printfil)进行词汇判断,比较二者的加工差异。结果表明,高水平英语学习者对于前缀与后缀派生词的识别都存在词素分解过程,前缀比后缀更难识别。前缀加工与英语水平有关,而后缀加工与英语水平无关。This two-experiment study investigates whether the position of the affix in derived words might have different impacts on L2 word recognition. Experiment 1 employed a lexical decision task with masked priming to examine how advanced Chinese learners of English process prefixed and suffixed words during word recognition. Prefixed word primes like disagree were presented to the subjects to see whether their recognition of the transparent stem targets(i. e., AGREE) was facilitated, compared with unrelated primes such as disorder. Non-derived words like nuclear were included to see whether they primed a form-related word embedded at their ends(i.e., CLEAR).Also included were suffixed words like sailor derived from SAIL and form-related words like pillow(with PILL embedded at its front part). Experiment 2 used a simple lexical decision task(i.e.,with no primes) to see how participants reacted to pseudowords with morpheme structure(e. g.,suffix + stem, like printful, and prefix + stem, like resuit) compared to pseudowords without morpheme structure(e.g., printfil and lesuit, where neither-fil nor le-are affixes). It was revealed in both experiments that the advanced EFL learners decomposed suffixed and prefixed words. The processing of prefixed words was found to be harder than the processing of suffixed words, with English proficiency being a mediator.
