초록
Extending previous research findings based on offline measurers such as word association tasks, this study is aimed to estimate the strength of word associations in the second language lexicon by operationalizing the strength as the reaction times to the experimental stimuli. Of particular interest is whether non-native speakers with advanced level of a second language has similar quantitative patterns to native speakers. On a computerized semantic related judgement task, advanced learners of English (L2 group) and native English speakers (L1 group) responded to a series of word pairs manipulated in two experimental conditions (synonymously related: artist - painter; functionally related: door - gate) and one controlled condition (unrelated: bread - tablet). Linear mixed-effect regressions revealed that both L1 and L2 group responded faster significantly to the two experimental conditions than to the control condition. However, significant interactions were found in the contrast between the two groups and two comparisons of experimental conditions (i.e., synonymous vs unrelated; synonymous vs functional) while the interaction between the groups and one comparison (i.e., functional vs unrelated) was not significant; thus, the L1 group and the L2 group did not show comparable quantitative patterns of word associations in some conditions. Implications for the L2 word network were discussed in relation to the strength of word associations.
Abstract
Extending previous research findings based on offline measurers such as word association tasks, this study is aimed to estimate the strength of word associations in the second language lexicon by operationalizing the strength as the reaction times to the experimental stimuli. Of particular interest is whether non-native speakers with advanced level of a second language has similar quantitative patterns to native speakers. On a computerized semantic related judgement task, advanced learners of English (L2 group) and native English speakers (L1 group) responded to a series of word pairs manipulated in two experimental conditions (synonymously related: artist - painter; functionally related: door - gate) and one controlled condition (unrelated: bread - tablet). Linear mixed-effect regressions revealed that both L1 and L2 group responded faster significantly to the two experimental conditions than to the control condition. However, significant interactions were found in the contrast between the two groups and two comparisons of experimental conditions (i.e., synonymous vs unrelated; synonymous vs functional) while the interaction between the groups and one comparison (i.e., functional vs unrelated) was not significant; thus, the L1 group and the L2 group did not show comparable quantitative patterns of word associations in some conditions. Implications for the L2 word network were discussed in relation to the strength of word associations.
