摘要
阈值假说和回归假说是语言磨蚀领域两个传统的假说。这两个假说由来已久,语言磨蚀的很多研究都是建立在它们的基础之上的,却很少有学者对它们进行实证研究。本研究采用定量与定性相结合,侧重定量的研究方法,探讨习得和磨蚀情况,用实证研究验证回归假说和阈值假说。参与者共分两组,第一组为在校初中一年级至三年级学生,旨在探讨英语否定句习得次序;第二组为已经大学毕业并正式工作者,旨在探讨英语否定句磨蚀次序。测量工具为问卷调查和自由写作。结果支持了阈值假说,而对回归假说则持谨慎态度。
The Threshold Hypothesis and the Regression Hypothesis are both traditional hypotheses in the field of language at- trition, based on which many studies related to language attrition have been developed. However, very few scholars have con- ducted empirical studies on either hypotheses. By adopting quantitative research methodology and meanwhile combining quanti- tative with qualitative research methodologies, this study explores the acquisition and attrition of English negative sentences. There are two groups of participants in this study. Group 1, aiming to identify the acquisition sequence of English negative sen- tences, is made up of middle school students ranging from Grade 1 to Grade 3. Group 2, aiming to identify the attrition se- quence of English negative sentences, is composed of workers who have graduated from universities. Both questionnaires and free writing are used as research instruments. Both hypotheses are tested via empirical studies, whose results support the Threshold Hypothesis, but remain suspicious of the Regression Hypothesis.
