Abstract

This study explores Turkish English as a foreign language (EFL) instructors’ awareness of the syntactic and morphological variation in British English (BrE) and American English (AmE). The data were collected through a survey which was administered to 38 EFL instructors working at preparatory schools of different universities. The participants were asked to analyze 49 sentence-pairs in the survey to decide whether given sentences were correct or incorrect. The results indicated a) that the participants were better at recognizing the morphology and syntax of BrE than AmE, b) that of all the participants, the ones who were exposed to both varieties were better at recognizing the different uses of the syntactic and morphological forms in BrE and AmE than the ones exposing to the forms only in one variety, c) that the departments the participants graduated from did not have an impact on the recognition of the differences between BrE and AmE in syntax and morphology.
教师对英美英语句法和形态差异的认识
本研究探讨了土耳其英语教师对英国英语(BrE)和美国英语(AmE)句法和形态变化的认识。数据是通过对38名在不同大学预科学校工作的英语教师进行调查收集的。参与者被要求分析调查中的49对句子,以判断给定的句子是正确的还是错误的。结果表明:a)被试对BrE和AmE的词法和句法的识别能力优于AmE; b)在所有被试中,接触过两个变体的被试对BrE和AmE的句法和词法的不同用法的识别能力优于只接触过一个变体的被试。c)被试的专业对英语和英语在句法和词法上的差异认知没有影响。
