Abstract

This study investigated what psychological and social factors predict ‘perceived nativelikeness’ in late second language (L2) learners of French (L1 Swedish) (N = 62) with a minimum length of residence (LOR) of 5 years in France. The included factors were: language aptitude (LLAMA), acculturation (VIA), personality (MPQ), target language engagement and social networks (number of relations in L2). LOR and Length of French studies were also included as extraneous variables. Multiple linear regression analyses showed that positive effects were found for LLAMA D (sound recognition), acculturation (VIA France and VIA Sweden), number of relations in L2 and LOR. A negative effect was found for the personality variable Social initiative. The strongest effects were found for LLAMA D, Social initiative and LOR. All variables together explained 25% (adjusted R²) of the variance in the sample, which represents medium-sized effects in relation to other studies on individual factors. In sum, these findings confirm results from earlier studies on the importance of language aptitude and acculturation in late L2 acquisition. They also add evidence of the importance of personality, social networks, and LOR. On a more general note psychological and social factors combine to explain different outcomes in adult L2 acquisition, although the effects of psychological variables are deemed somewhat stronger.

哪些因素可以预测长期二语用户感知到的本土性？

本研究调查了哪些心理和社会因素预测了在法国居住时间（LOR）为5年的法语（L1-瑞典语）（N=62）的第二语言（L2）学习者的“感知本土性”。包括的因素包括：语言能力（LLAMA）、文化适应（VIA）、个性（MPQ）、目标语言参与度和社交网络（L2中的关系数量）。LOR和法国研究的时间长度也被纳入为无关变量。多元线性回归分析表明，LLAMA D（声音识别）、文化适应（VIA法国和VIA瑞典）、L2和LOR中的关系数都有积极影响。人格变量社会主动性存在负效应。LLAMA D、Social initiative和LOR的效果最强。所有变量加在一起解释了样本中25%的方差（调整后的R²），这代表了与其他个体因素研究相比的中等影响。总之，这些发现证实了早期关于语言能力和文化适应在二语习得后期的重要性的研究结果。他们还增加了个性、社交网络和LOR重要性的证据。从更普遍的角度来看，心理和社会因素结合起来解释了成人二语习得的不同结果，尽管心理变量的影响被认为更强。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
