摘　　要：本文采用ERP技术考察汉-英-法三语者对法语数一致和性一致关系加工的神经认知机制,重点聚焦于三语(法语)习得中的二语(英语)迁移效应。实验发现:1)对于低水平法语学习者,数一致违反加工诱发了反映句法深加工的P600,而性一致违反加工则诱发了反映句法浅加工的N400;2)对于高水平法语学习者,无论数一致违反还是性一致违反加工均诱发了反映句法深加工的P600。结果表明:三语习得中存在二语迁移效应,英、法相似的数一致比法语独有的性一致诱发了加工程度更高的脑电成分;三语水平能够对二语迁移产生影响,只要法语水平足够高,性一致和数一致加工均能诱发反映句法深加工的P600,支持全迁移全通达模型。本研究发现可为三语习得理论和三语教学实践提供参考。The present study employed the ERP technique to investigate the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying Chinese-English-French trilinguals' processing of number agreement and gender agreement in French,focusing on the transfer effect of L2(English) in L3(French) acquisition.The results revealed the following:1) For low-proficiency learners of L3 French,violations of number agreement elicited a P600,indicative of deep syntactic processing,whereas gender agreement violation processing evoked an N400 associated with shallow syntactic processing;and 2) for high-proficiency learners of L3 French,both number and gender agreement violations generated a P600.These results provide evidence for L2 transfer in L3 acquisition with number agreement,which is shared between English and French,eliciting more robust ERP components than gender agreement,which is specific to French.Furthermore,the proficiency level of L3 can influence the extent of L2 transfer,as demonstrated by high-proficiency learners exhibiting a P600 for both types of agreement processing,thereby supporting a Full Transfer/Full Access model.These findings have implications for L3 acquisition theory and teaching practice.
