The Influence Of Second Language Proficiency On Syntactic Representation Sharing In Bilinguals:Raising Construction Syntactic Priming

For the same proposition, we can use completely different surface syntactic form to express. Studying in choosing what kind of structure to express a sentence, we could catch a glimpse of our inner psychological process when generating sentences. Syntactic priming research which is called that the following sentences’ structure we made would be same to the previous sentence we have used. Through syntactic priming research we can see how bilinguals share single or integration of tow language syntactics.Our research are using Immediate Recall of Sentences paradigm. The prime sentences and target sentences are in different languages within different sentence syntactic, From English-Chinese, Chinese-English, and Chinese-Chinese different foreign language level and from three respects:the structure of the different age groups to improve syntactic priming effect, in order to explore the language within the starting mechanism and cross-linguistic syntactic and grammatical information encoding regularity. Experiment1use English raising structure to start the Chinese sentence structure, investigates the syntactic activate phenomenon between high and low level subjects. Results show that in the English-Chinese prescription upward, high skilled level subjects started, and low proficiency subjects did not start; Sentences start type and reaction type on the high skilled level significant difference; And low proficiency level subjects whatever start conditions tend to generate have ascended structure, is not affected by starting conditions. Experiment2used Chinese to improve structure start English high and low proficiency subjects, syntactic boot startup phenomenon; Found on the direction of the Chinese-English, did not start; In both the high and low level of the skilled, start conditions in the reaction type differences were not significant. Experiment3Chinese high skilled level (adult) as subjects, native language syntax startup phenomenon; Regardless of the start condition is clause subject have ascended start conditions, or clause subject not improve startup conditions, the high skilled level tend to generate clause to the main clause subject structure of the sentence. Experiment4with Chinese low proficiency level (children) as the subjects, start at low proficiency levels phenomenon; The results found using Chinese unskilled level subjects (children) significant difference on the start type and reaction typeIn this study the following conclusions:1mother tongue is Chinese, in second language learning and language learning starting mechanism showed different syntax, Chinese is driven, modular complete sentences start English belongs to the vocabulary of syntax;.through high level2second language subjects is the integration of two languages, and low proficiency level two languages are not Shared representation; Three syntactic representation of sharing is a dynamic process rather than a static process.For language scholars, compared with the native language of a second language is intermediary language, is a language development. Syntactic research is a good way to start digging out the characterization of a second language to share with their first language syntax, and the influence of mother tongue migration of the law on two statements. This will help teachers in teaching, according to the student second statement method internal representation mechanism of second language teaching methods and to increase the ability to play a positive role.
