摘　　要：英语复合词加工中的一语激活研究关注整词的一语词汇表征激活,未关注词素的一语词汇表征是否激活以及如何激活。本文采用词汇判断任务,考察了中国学习者加工较熟悉英语复合词时词素一语词汇表征激活的时间进程。研究发现在词素熟悉度显著高于整词熟悉度的情况下,低水平学习者词素熟悉度会受到整词熟悉度的抑制,词素需经由其一语词汇表征才能通达概念表征;高水平学习者词素熟悉度不受整词熟悉度的抑制,词素可直接通达其概念表征,然后激活其一语词汇表征。据此,本研究建议复合词教学中加大复合词出现的频率,并加强词素教学。Research on L1 activation in English compound processing has been concerned with the activation of L1 of whole word,but failed to pay due attention to the following two issues:whether L1 of constituents is activated;if so,how it is activated.In this paper,a lexical decision task was used to examine L1 activation of constituents in L2 compound processing by Chinese English learners with high and low L2 proficiency.It is found that during the processing of familiar English compounds,when familiarities of constituents are higher significantly than that of whole word,low-proficiency English learners access the concepts of constituents via their L1 because familiarity of whole word inhibits those of constituents,while high-proficiency English learners access the concepts of constituents directly and then activate their L1 because familiarity of whole word does not inhibit those of constituents.The pedagogical suggestions proposed in the paper are to increase the exposure of compounds and strengthen the teaching of constituents in L2 learning.
