摘要
本文报告一项自然阅读中的词汇附带习得(incidental vocabulary acquisition)实证研究。实验安排4名受试阅读3本简易名著,并接受3次词汇测试与面谈。结果表明,专注于意义的自然阅读有助于词汇附带习得,拼写知识习得率为21.6%,词义习得率为15.5%。习得率看似不高,却十分重要。自然阅读的一个主要功能是提供词汇接触机会,促进词汇知识的部分习得,一旦与注意、运用、理解需要等因素发生交互作用,就可能导致某些知识的完全习得。这一发现反映了词汇习得的渐进本质,对阅读与词汇教学均有启示。
This paper reports on an empirical study of incidental vocabulary acquisition (IVA) in natural reading. Natural reading refers to reading for meaning or for fun,such as reading novels and newspapers,during or after which the reader does not normally do any exercises like answering multiple choice comprehension questions. In the study,four participants read three simplified world-known novels and were tested on their knowledge of 118 target words which appear in the novels. The results show that the participants incidentally acquired knowledge of certain components of the target words and the acquisition rate of spelling knowledge was 21.6% and that of word meaning 15.5%. The main function of natural reading in IVA is to provide the opportunity of encountering new words in context and help to develop partial knowledge of them. This process interacts with noticing,application,and comprehension need to facilitate full mastery of various component types of word knowledge.
