Abstract

ABSTRACT Event-related potentials (ERPs) have become widespread in second language acquisition (SLA) research and a growing body of literature has been produced in recent years. We surveyed 61 SLA papers that use ERPs to study L2 sentence processing in healthy late learners. Our main aim was to provide a critical summary of findings from the decade 2010-2020. The qualitative review reveals that proficiency plays a major role in determining ERP components, but its effect is modulated by language similarity and individual differences. The statistical analysis (a multinomial logistic regression) suggests that ERP components are uniquely predicted by learners’ proficiency level and the linguistic phenomenon at issue, while no effect of language distance is found. We also made a cursive methodological overview, which evidences several gaps in the literature and raises some concerns on the way proficiency is factorized across studies.

二语句子加工研究中的事件相关电位:2010-2020年的范围回顾

事件相关电位(event - correlation potential, ERPs)在二语习得研究中得到了广泛的应用，近年来相关研究的文献也越来越多。我们调查了61篇使用erp研究健康晚期学习者二语句子加工的二语习得论文。我们的主要目的是对2010-2020十年的研究结果进行批判性总结。定性分析表明，熟练程度在ERP成分中起主要作用，但其影响受语言相似性和个体差异的调节。统计分析(多项式逻辑回归)表明，学习者的语言水平和所讨论的语言现象对ERP成分有独特的预测作用，而语言距离没有影响。我们还做了一个粗略的方法概述，它证明了文献中的一些空白，并提出了一些关于在研究中考虑熟练程度的方式的担忧。

期刊介绍： The research published in Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics makes a clear contribution to linguistic theory by increasing our understanding of how language is acquired. The journal focuses on the acquisition of syntax, semantics, phonology, and morphology, and considers theoretical, experimental, and computational perspectives. Coverage includes solutions to the logical problem of language acquisition, as it arises for particular grammatical proposals; discussion of acquisition data relevant to current linguistic questions; and perspectives derived from theory-driven studies of second language acquisition, language-impaired speakers, and other domains of cognition.
