Abstract

The fluency of second language (L2) speech can be influenced by L2 proficiency, but also by differences in the efficiency of cognitive operations and personal speaking styles. The nature of cognitive fluency is still, however, little understood. Therefore, we studied the cognitive fluency of Finnish advanced students of English (N = 64) to understand how the efficiency of cognitive processing influences speech rate. Cognitive fluency was operationalised as automaticity of lexical access (measured by rapid word recognition) and attention control (measured by the Stroop task). The tasks were conducted in both L1 (Finnish) and L2 (English) to examine the (dis)similarity of processing in the two languages. Speech rate in a monologue task was used as the dependent measure of speaking performance. The results showed that after controlling for the L1 speech rate and L1 cognitive fluency, the L2 attention control measures explained a small amount of additional variance in L2 speech rate. These results are discussed in relation to the cognitive fluency framework and general speaking proficiency research.

L2 中的认知流畅性:自动和受控词汇处理对语速的影响。
第二语言(L2)说话的流利程度可能受到 L2 熟练程度的影响,也可能受到认知操作效率和个人说话风格差异的影响。然而,人们对认知流利性的本质仍然知之甚少。因此,我们对芬兰英语高年级学生(64 人)的认知流利度进行了研究,以了解认知处理的效率如何影响语速。认知流畅性的具体表现为词汇访问的自动性(通过快速单词识别来衡量)和注意力控制(通过 Stroop 任务来衡量)。这些任务分别以第一语言(芬兰语)和第二语言(英语)进行,以考察两种语言处理过程的(不)相似性。独白任务中的语速被用作口语表现的因变量。结果表明,在控制了 L1 语速和 L1 认知流畅性之后,L2 注意力控制措施解释了 L2 语速的少量额外差异。本文结合认知流畅性框架和一般口语能力研究对这些结果进行了讨论。

期刊介绍: Journal of Psycholinguistic Research publishes carefully selected papers from the several disciplines engaged in psycholinguistic research, providing a single, recognized medium for communications among linguists, psychologists, biologists, sociologists, and others. The journal covers a broad range of approaches to the study of the communicative process, including: the social and anthropological bases of communication; development of speech and language; semantics (problems in linguistic meaning); and biological foundations. Papers dealing with the psychopathology of language and cognition, and the neuropsychology of language and cognition, are also included.
