本书旨在探讨英语冠词语义特征和相关的语境因素如何交互作用并影响英语冠词二语习得。作者从语言涌现论角度出发,提出英语冠词习得过程是一个复杂适应系统,由含有众多因素和主体的子系统组成,冠词习得是各类主客体因素相互影响和共同作用的结果。研究主要关注语义子系统和语境子系统在不同层面的交互作用及其对二语学习者冠词习得的影响,揭示了英语冠词替代型误用产生的原因,对英语冠词教学具有一定的现实意义。本书首次在涌现论框架下研究英语冠词二语习得,为涌现理论在语言和语言习得领域的应用提供了实证基础,有利于促进语言涌现理论的进一步发展。

《语言涌现视角下的英语冠词二语习得研究》在语言涌现观框架内分析第二语言习得的具体问题,探讨了英语冠词习得的涌现特征,揭示了交互这一重要的认知机理在英语冠词二语习得中的作用,有助于二语习得理论的进一步发展。在此基础上,书中详细分析了二语学习者英语冠词替代型误用产生的原因,指出英语冠词教学不仅应关注语义特征分析和语境敏感度训练,更要重视语义和语境因素的交互特性及其对冠词选用的影响。
