Abstract

Abstract This study investigates whether the similarities and differences between a learner’s source language (L1) and target language (L2) affect the spatial containment and support concept mapping and acquisition processes onto their L2 language. I specifically investigated how learners’ accuracy rates for both congruent and noncongruent stimuli are affected by proficiency level. A t test of the results indicated that there is a significant effect of the L1 on learners’ L2 accuracy. The results are discussed from the perspective of the degree of congruency between languages in terms of cross-linguistic similarities/differences.

跨语言的相似性和差异性如何影响第二语言中空间关系、包容和支持的映射?

摘要本研究探讨了源语和目的语的异同是否会影响学习者对二语的空间包容并支持其概念映射和习得过程。我特别研究了学习者对一致和不一致刺激的准确率如何受到熟练程度的影响。结果的t检验表明，第一语言对学习者的第二语言准确性有显著影响。本文从跨语言异同的角度对研究结果进行了讨论。

期刊介绍： Chinese as a Second Language Research (CASLAR) focuses on research on the acquisition, development, and use of Chinese as a Second Language. It supports scholars and researchers from different linguistic fields, and serves as a forum to discuss, investigate, and better understand Chinese as a Second Language. Each issue (2 per year) of the journal publishes three papers in Chinese and three papers in English; summaries are always provided both in Chinese and English. We are especially interested in publishing articles and research papers that investigate how empirical findings of CSL research can advance and develop better Chinese language teaching methodologies, explore the implications of CSL research for theoretical developments and practical applications, focus on the acquisition and use of varieties of CSL, study the nature of interaction between native speakers and non-native speakers of Chinese, address major issues of second language acquisition from the perspective of CSL, analyze the ways in which language is both shaped by culture and is the medium through which culture is created.
