摘　　要：英语通性代词的选择,以及在性别特征和数特征上与其先行词一致的相关问题是复杂的语言学问题。从中国EFL学习者角度对中国学生英语口语语料库(SECCL)的分析结果来看,中国EFL学习者倾向于使用通性代词they和he回指性别不明确的语法单数的先行词,且这两种通性代词的选择受到先行词个体化程度的影响,显示母语迁移可能对中国EFL学习者通性代词的选择有影响。这些发现为代词研究提供了新的视角,在实践上为英语通性代词的外语教学提供指导,并且有助于提升中国EFL学习者选择通性代词时的性别中立意识。The choice of English epicene pronouns and related problems in number and gender agreement with their antecedents are complex linguistic issues remaining to be thoroughly investigated.Our analysis of the SECCL corpus shows that Chinese EFL learners prefer“they”and“he”forms to refer back to grammatically singular antecedents with unknown gender,and their choice of“they”and“he”forms is influenced by the degree of individualization of the antecedents,suggesting the impact of language transfer on the choice of epicene pronouns by Chinese EFL learners.These findings would give new insight into pronoun studies,provide guidance for EFL epicene pronoun teaching in practice,and help to promote Chinese EFL learners'gender-neutral awareness in their selection of epicene pronouns.
