ERP Study On The Collocation Of Verbs And Aspect Markers Of Different Modality Types In Chinese L1 And L2

The purpose of this study is to understand the neurocognitive mechanism behind the syntactic processing of different modal verbs and aspect markers.In the experiment,the subjects are asked to judge whether the sentences are correct or not,and brain activities are recorded in real time by using ERP technology.The experiment adopts the violation paradigm.The reactions of three groups of subjects(Chinese native speakers,Indonesian and Thai second speakers)are recorded,so as to understand the extent to which the second speakers can achieve the neurocognitive mechanism similar to native speakers,and to get some thoughts and advice on the Collocation teaching of aspect markers and verb in Chinese.The results show that for critical words,LAN and P600 effects are caused by native language group,Thai group and Indonesian group,but the native language group causes greater biphasic effect,which reflects the differences of syntactic processing mechanism between native language and second language.However,the LAN effect of Thai group and Indonesian group lag slightly,and the LAN effect weaken on the left side and appear positive wave of uncertainty on the right side.The P600 effect in Indonesia group is more significant than that in Thailand group.For sentence-final words,negative waves are found in the native language group,Thai group and Indonesia group.In order to improve the collocation level of different modal verbs and aspect markers,teachers should pay attention to the teaching of general rules and special verbs,and pay attention to the potential influence of students’ mother tongue background,so that students can form some common collocations in their minds.When they encounter some new verbs,they can also mobilize old knowledge to promote the mastery of new verbs.
