Abstract

The paradigm of possessive determiners differs in systematic ways across languages and causes cognitive resolution problems in the interpretation of a foreign language. Based on previous investigations into cross-linguistic influences (CLI) in learners’ interpretation of possessive determiners, this article presents the design of an experiment for testing English, German and Norwegian adult learners of French. We specify two kinds of processing problems: a direction problem (orientation towards possessor vs. possessee) and a problem of lexical parasites (‘false friends’). The experiment is directed at learners’ spontaneous interpretation of the singular possessives "son", "sa" and "ses", on account of a partly false friendship with the possessive determiners in these learners’ first languages.
外语法语所有格的加工:实验设计
所有格限定词的范式在不同语言之间存在着系统的差异,导致了外语翻译中的认知消解问题。本文在对英语、德语和挪威语成人法语学习者解释所有格限定词的跨语言影响进行研究的基础上,设计了一个测试英语、德语和挪威语成人法语学习者的实验。我们指定了两种处理问题:方向问题(对占有者和被占有者的取向)和词汇寄生虫问题(“假朋友”)。这个实验是针对学习者自发地解释单数所有格“son”,“sa”和“ses”,因为这些学习者在他们的第一语言中与所有格限定词有部分错误的友谊。
