英语写作能力习得中的中介语石化现象研究

论文摘要

Selinker(塞林格)于1972年提出用“中介语”(INTERLANGUAGE)来阐释第二语言学习过程。这一概念至今已有三十余年的历史,中介语的研究取得了一定的成就。在此研究过程中,中介语研究者们始终关注着其中一个有趣的现象:石化(FOSSILIZATION)。石化现象普遍存在于外语学习中并一直是学习者的巨大障碍。基于对当前大学生英语写作能力停滞不前现象的观察和思考,笔者受到启发并试图以此作为切入点来探讨中介语石化现象。本文回顾了几十年来中介语理论、石化理论和错误分析等方面的研究发现。在此基础上对长春工程学院大学一年级学生的英语写作错误进行了跟踪采样,并运用错误分析法进行分析和归纳,找出大一学生作文中的中介语错误的分布规律、出现频次及其原因,提出减少写作能力习得中中介语石化现象的策略。这一分析和研究对于我们了解大一学生的中介语石化特点和英语水平、合理安排教学、改进英语教学方法、促进大学生英语发展有重要的意义。
