Abstract: | 本論文探討了第二語言閱讀理解中句法歧義的消解,重點關注工作記憶和數學運算的作用。通過使用事件相關電位手段,本研究聚焦於兩個主要研究問題:一、第二語言學習者如何處理英文句法歧義;二、非語言因素,如工作記憶和數學運算能力,如何影響第二語言學習者對句法歧義的解決。 實驗1檢視了第二語言學習者如何處理介系詞短語所引發的句法歧義,並著重於工作記憶的影響。結果顯示,工作記憶容量顯著影響介系詞短語的處理。擁有更高工作記憶的參與者對處於低節點的介系詞短語表現出更強的N400效應,顯示具有更大認知靈活性的大腦在處理過程中可能會預測句子結構。 實驗2透過引入四則混合運算作為影響因數來進一步研究。研究結果顯示,較高的算術需求(以增強的P300表示)影響了隨後的介系詞短語的處理:當先前是低算術需求的算式,或是參與者屬於低工作記憶的組別時,後續的句法處理會出現P600效應──前者乃因低算術需求不會干擾後續的句法整合或重新分析;後者則因低工作記憶的參與者需要更多的認知資源來解決介系詞短語的歧異。上述結果表明,解決句法歧義依賴於數學和語言之間的共用認知資源,突顯語言處理和數學運算之間的複雜互動。 總之,本論文增進了我們對第二語言學習者如何解決句法歧義及非語言因素(如工作記憶和數學運算)對此過程影響的理解,進一步的研究需要更大且更具多樣性的樣本,以擴展和證實上述發現。 This dissertation investigates second language (L2) syntactic ambiguity resolution during reading comprehension, with a focus on the roles of working memory and arithmetic computation. Using event-related potentials (ERP), the study addresses two primary questions: (1) How do L2 learners resolve syntactic ambiguities during sentence parsing? (2) How do non-linguistic factors, such as working memory and arithmetic ability, influence L2 learners' resolution of syntactic ambiguities? In Experiment 1, we examined how L2 learners process syntactic ambiguities, particularly prepositional phrase (PP) attachment, with an emphasis on the impact of working memory. The results indicate that working memory capacity significantly influences PP attachment processing. Participants with higher working memory exhibited a stronger N400 response to low PP attachment, likely reflecting mismatch detection and suggesting that those with greater cognitive flexibility may construct predicted sentence structures during processing. Experiment 2 extended this investigation by introducing arithmetic computation as a contextual factor. The findings revealed that higher arithmetic demand, marked by an increased P300, influenced subsequent syntactic processing, particularly in PP attachment. A P600 effect emerged when the preceding context involved low arithmetic demand (which did not interfere with further syntactic integration or reanalysis) or when the low working memory group was involved (which required more cognitive resources to resolve PP attachment). These results suggest that resolving syntactic ambiguity depends on shared cognitive resources between math and language, highlighting the complex interplay between linguistic and mathematical tasks. In conclusion, this dissertation enhances our understanding of how L2 learners resolve syntactic ambiguities and the impact of non-linguistic factors, such as working memory and arithmetic computation, on this process. Further research with larger and more diverse samples is necessary to expand on these findings. |
