摘　　要：英语WH提取结构是检验形式限制条件在中介语语法中实现程度的主要语料类型,而目前的中介语研究并未涉及构式类型、信息组织方式和语言水平(非独立性协变量)三者对于习得复杂构式的综合影响。鉴于较为系统性的中介语研究方法理应结合形式限制和各种可能的认知功能因素,本研究通过构拟背景化信息理论(BCI)对DP型主语、picture类补语以及妥帖答语三类WH提取结构的形式和认知分析得知:语言内部的结构因素、外部使用功能以及使用者自身的特点均有可能参与中介语语法构建。因此,未来在任何范式下的研究不仅应该兼顾复杂句式在形式和功能两方面的特点,而且还应该同时考虑到构式的独立性语义和构式网络的系统性。English WH-extraction structures constitute a principal type of linguistic data for verifying the extent to which the formal constraints can be realized in interlanguage grammars.However,current interlanguage studies generally disregard the potential influence from three factors:construction types,information organization and language proficiency levels.Since the more rational research paradigm should incorporate formal constraints and other cognitive-functional factors,the present study empirically investigates the L2 acquisition of three types of WH-extraction structures:DP subjects,picture complements and felicitous answers,with a view to taking the BCI(backgrounded construction as island)thesis into account.Results from the formal and cognitive analyses show:the internal structural factor,together with other external factors(functional uses and L2 levels)may well be all involved in the construction of interlanguage grammars and future research under any paradigms is supposed to combine both forms and functions of linguistic structures.In addition,the independent meaning and the system of the construction net should be both taken into account.
