摘　　要：本研究基于国际跨语言中介语语料库,抽取中国内地(大陆)、香港、台湾的初中生英语作文作为样本,采用二语句法复杂度分析器L2SCA对7个句法复杂度指标进行分析,探讨中国初中生的整体句法水平,以及在不同教学环境下句法复杂度的共性和差异性特征。研究发现,中国初中生对较为复杂的句法结构运用普遍不灵活,使用频率较低。其中,香港初中生的句法表现最好,在句法复杂性和多样性上都显著优于内地(大陆)和台湾初中生。台湾初中生和大陆初中生总体句法水平较为接近,但大陆初中生倾向于使用更长的产出单位,而台湾初中生倾向于使用较为复杂的句法结构。Based on the International Corpus of Crosslinguistic Interlanguage(ICCI),this article investigates the overall syntactic performance of English writings by Chinese junior high school students,as well as the similarities and differences among them.English writings by junior high students from the mainland of China,Hong Kong and Taiwan are sampled in order to explore the relationship between syntactic complexity and instructional setting.The syntactic complexity is measured by 7 syntactic complexity indices using L2 syntactic complexity analyzer(L2SCA).The results reveal that Hong Kong students display significant differences in most syntactic complexity indices compared with Chinese mainland students and Taiwan Residents students,showing high variation and sophistication.In addition,Chinese mainland students and Taiwan Residents students present similar syntactic proficiency level,but there are also some minor differences between them.Chinese mainland students prefer to use longer sentences and T-units,while Taiwan Residents students tend to use more complex syntactic structures.
