摘　　要：本研究采用“迷宫”式自定步速阅读实验,聚焦致使移动构式、结果构式和into-致使构式这三类非交替的英语致使构式,考察中国英语学习者在线加工目标句时的跨构式启动效应及其方向性,探究二语构式表征的联结模式和激活机制。研究发现:(1)致使构式之间存在促进性和抑制性两种跨构式启动效应,构式间共享的形式-语义相似性是激活二语语法网络和构建表征联结的关键;(2)从致使移动构式到into-致使构式的单向启动支持承继联结假设;致使移动构式与结果构式之间的双向启动契合水平联结假设。研究结果表明二语构式网络中可能存在多种联想联结,这为认知语言学中的语法网络模型提供了实证支持,同时对基于构式的二语教学有启示意义。This study utilises a"maze"-variant self-paced reading experiment to investigate the crossconstructional priming effects and their directions in online sentence processing by Chinese EFL learners.It focuses on three kinds of non-alternative English causative constructions-causedmotion,resultative,and into-causative to explore the linking patterns and activation mechanisms of L2 constructional representations.The findings indicate that:(1)two types of cross-constructional priming,facilitatory and inhibitory,are found across causative constructions,suggesting that formal and semantic similarities between constructions are crucial for activating L2 grammatical networks and establishing representational connections;(2)unidirectional priming from the caused-motion to the into-causative confirms the hypothesis of inheritance links,whereas bidirectional priming between the caused-motion and resultatives aligns with the hypothesis of horizontal links.Thus,L2 constructional networks appear to encompass various types of associative links.These findings not only provide empirical support for grammatical network models in cognitive linguistics but also offer valuable insights for construction-based approaches to L2 English instruction.
