İkinci dilin gerçek zamanlı olarak işlemlenmesi sırasında tümcebilimsel çözümleme stratejilerinin kullanımı

Bu çalışmanın amacı sözdizimsel belirsizlikleri içeren cümle oluşumlarının gerçek zamanlı olarak ikinci dil öğrenenler tarafından işlemlenmesi sırasında tümcesel çözümleme stratejilerinin kullanılıp kullanılmadığını araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu maksatla, sıfat cümleciği belirsizliklerini içeren cümle yapılarının İngilizce öğrenen Türk öğrenciler ve ana dili İngilizce olan kontrol grubundaki denekler tarafından okunup işlemlenmesi sırasında kayıt edilen göz hareketleri incelenmiştir. Sonuçlar hem ana dilde ve hem de ikinci dilde elde edilen işlemleme kararlarının sistematik bir şekilde tümcebilimsel çözümleme stratejileri tarafından yönlendririldiğini ve işlemleme kararlarının anlambilimsel, edimsel ya da diğer yapı tabanlı olmayan bilgi kaynaklarına dayanılarak rastlantısal bir şekilde elde edilmediğini göstermektedir. Bu sonuçlar, ikinci dil öğrenenlerin de ana dili İngilizce olan deneklerin gerçek zamanlı olarak İngilizce cümleleri işlemlemeleri sırasında oluşturdukları soyut, hiyerarşik olarak derin ve detaylı tümcebilimsel simgelere benzer simgeleri oluşturup kullanabildiklerini önermektedir.

The application of syntactic parsing strategies during real-time L2 sentence comprehension: Evidence from eye-movement recordings

The study aims to investigate whether second language learners perform sentence processing based on syntacticor structure-based parsing strategies during real-time comprehension of constructions with syntactic ambiguities.To this end, the recordings of eye movements from Turkish learners of English and native English speakers as acontrol group are examined on temporarily ambiguous constructions including relative clause attachmentambiguities. The results indicate that processing decisions in first and second language are systematically drivenby structure-based parsing strategies rather than being made randomly with an overreliance on semantic, pragmaticor other types of nonstructural information sources. These findings suggest that L2 learners are indeed capable ofconstructing and depending on abstract, hierarchically deep and detailed syntactic representations similar to thoseof native English speakers during the processing of sentences in real time.© 2020 JLLS and the Authors - Published by JLLS
