摘要

本研究采用细粒度自动文本分析工具和指标，考察提示类型在二语写作情绪和词汇复杂程度中的作用。53名ESL中高级学生撰写了关于大流行(特别是COVID-19)和非大流行提示的文章。通过文本情感分析来检测学生写作中表达的积极情绪和消极情绪。一套六个词汇复杂性指数计算进一步检查稀有性，流畅性，复杂性和多样性的写作水平。结果表明，提示类型影响二语写作的情感和词汇复杂性。这些结果还表明，情感和词汇复杂性之间存在着复杂而显著的相互作用，为二语写作中情感和词汇之间的联系提供了证据。我们的研究结果表明，情感在二语写作中扮演着重要的角色，超越了传统的以认知为中心的视角，这与二语习得研究中“情感转向”的呼吁相呼应。

The effects of prompt types on L2 learners’ textual emotionality and lexical complexity

This study investigated the role of prompt types in the emotion and lexical complexity level in L2 writing performance using fine-grained automatic textual analyzing tools and indices. Fifty-three ESL advanced-mid students wrote essays on pandemic (esp. COVID-19) and non-pandemic prompts. A textual Sentiment Analysis was carried out to detect both positive and negative emotions expressed in the students’ writing. A set of six lexical complexity indices was calculated to examine further the rarity, fluency, sophistication, and diversity levels in writing. The results revealed that the prompt types affect the emotional and lexical complexity of L2 writing. These results also showed that emotionality and lexical complexity have intricate and significant interactions, providing evidence for an emotion-lexicon link in L2 writing. Our results indicated that emotion has a substantial role in L2 writing beyond the traditional cognition-centered perspective, echoing the call of an ‘affective turn’ in second language acquisition (SLA) research.

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.
