Abstract

This study explores the uses of the present perfect (PP) and simple past (SP) by French learners of English and assesses how those uses differ from those in native English and those of the passé composé (PC) in native French which, semantically, overlaps with PP and SP. Methodologically, the study is based on over 3,000 contextualized occurrences of PP, SP and PC, and includes cluster and collostructional analyses. Overall, relatively native-like form-function mappings in interlanguage emerge from the analyses, suggesting that, semantically, advanced learners have integrated the uses of past tenses and that the influence of the PC is relatively weak. Further, at an upper-intermediate to advanced proficiency level, learners have integrated the fine-grained contextual information characteristic of the use of English past tenses. Ultimately, the study shows how different methodological designs can lead to varying conclusions on the (non-)nativelike usage patterns of PP in interlanguage.
被动语态是否影响二语学习者对英语过去时的使用?
本研究探讨了法语英语学习者对现在完成时(PP)和一般过去时(SP)的使用,并评估了这些使用与英语母语和法语母语中一般完成时(PC)的使用有什么不同,这些使用在语义上与一般完成时和一般过去时重叠。在方法上,该研究基于3000多个上下文化的一般完成时、一般完成时和一般完成时,并包括聚类和结构分析。总体而言,分析显示中介语中的形式-功能映射相对与母语相似,这表明,在语义上,高级学习者已经整合了过去时的使用,PC的影响相对较弱。此外,在中高级熟练程度上,学习者已经整合了英语过去时使用的细粒度上下文信息特征。最后,该研究显示了不同的方法设计如何导致关于中介语中PP的(非)母语使用模式的不同结论。
