摘　　要：唯一性预设是定冠词与不定冠词的重要区别特征,加工时需整合语言内接口或外接口处信息。本研究采用句子判断和自定步速阅读任务,考察视觉共现、语言共现和世界知识三种语境下中国英语学习者对两类冠词预设的在线加工。结果显示,不定冠词的加工难度大于定冠词,表明不定冠词预设加工相对间接,习得难度较大;世界知识语境下的加工难度大于其余语境,表明冠词加工的难点主要在于外接口处的信息整合。本研究在一定程度上揭示了冠词习得困难的本质,并为基于接口假说的二语习得研究提供了借鉴。The[±Uniqueness]presupposition distinguishes definite and indefinite articles,thereby requiring integration of information at internal or external interfaces for its processing.This study investigates Chinese EFL learnersonline processing of article presuppositions through sentence judgment and self-paced reading tasks under visual,linguistic,and world knowledge contexts.The results show that the processing difficulty of indefinite articles is greater than that of definite articles,indicating that the preset processing of indefinite articles is relatively indirect and the acquisition difficulty is higher;the processing difficulty in the world knowledge context is greater than in other contexts,indicating that the main difficulty in article processing lies in integrating external interface information.These findings help uncover the nature of article acquisition difficulties and provide insights for second language acquisition research based on the Interface Hypothesis.
