Sumario:Using a grammaticality judgment test and a Chinese-to-English translation test, the paper explores the acquisition of verbal and adjectival raising constructions by 90 Chinese learners of English as a foreign language (EFL). The results revealed that the [EPP] feature was successfully reassembled in the intermediate and advanced groups. No difference between the two types of raising constructions was found because the movement of the argument was triggered by the [EPP] feature in both constructions. In addition, the animacy of the argument influenced the selection of lexical items in the construction of numeration. Both the intermediate and the advanced groups were inclined to producing DP-phrase raising constructions with an inanimate argument; however, expletive-it raising constructions were produced by both groups when the argument was animate. No difference between verbal and adjectival raising constructions was found. The argument in this paper is that the preference stemmed from the semantic relationship between the argument and the verb, as well as due to fi rst language (L1) transfer.
本文通过语法判断测试和汉英翻译测试, 考察了 90 名不同英语水平的中国学习者 习得提升动词结构和提升形容词结构的情况。研究结果表明, [EPP]特征在中水平组和高水平 组学习者中完成重组, 且两类提升结构的测试结果并未表现出差异。本文认为, 这是由这两类提 升结构的最终形态实现均由[EPP]特征触发论元移位所致。另外, 论元生命性会影响算式库构 建中词项的提取。当论元具有生命性时, 受试倾向于产出虚代词 it 提升结构; 当论元不具有生命 性时, 受试倾向于产出 DP 短语提升结构, 且提升谓词类型不影响产出倾向。本文认为, 论元与 动词间的语义线索以及母语迁移可能是影响词项选择的原因。
