초록
Acquiring idioms of a second language (L2) is thought to be difficult due to an opaque relationship between its surface linguistic form and overall concept. A questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate whether idiom components corresponding to the ones of the first language (L1) have an effect on inference of meaning in L2. Learners of Japanese were asked to infer Japanese idioms. The target idioms were of 4 types, classified by means of two dimensions: “whether equivalent linguistic forms exist in L1” and “whether L1 has equivalent concepts or culture”. The results revealed a significant difference between the 4 types. The highest score was shown on “form O, concept O” type, following by “form X, concept O” and “form O, concept X”, with the lowest score on “form X, concept X”. In particular, the scores on “concept O” type idioms were remarkably higher than the “concept X” type, which might be considered as evidence that L1 concepts influence inferring the meaning of L2 idioms.Regarding L2 proficiency, learners of low level tended to have difficulties with idiom infference because they tried to understand it using L1 meanings of idiom components.However, learners with higher proficiency proved to be able to understand idiom components without using L1 by imagining the whole meaning. Thus, they could infer the meaning more correctly with no interferrence of L1's concepts.
Abstract
Acquiring idioms of a second language (L2) is thought to be difficult due to an opaque relationship between its surface linguistic form and overall concept. A questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate whether idiom components corresponding to the ones of the first language (L1) have an effect on inference of meaning in L2. Learners of Japanese were asked to infer Japanese idioms. The target idioms were of 4 types, classified by means of two dimensions: “whether equivalent linguistic forms exist in L1” and “whether L1 has equivalent concepts or culture”. The results revealed a significant difference between the 4 types. The highest score was shown on “form O, concept O” type, following by “form X, concept O” and “form O, concept X”, with the lowest score on “form X, concept X”. In particular, the scores on “concept O” type idioms were remarkably higher than the “concept X” type, which might be considered as evidence that L1 concepts influence inferring the meaning of L2 idioms.Regarding L2 proficiency, learners of low level tended to have difficulties with idiom infference because they tried to understand it using L1 meanings of idiom components.However, learners with higher proficiency proved to be able to understand idiom components without using L1 by imagining the whole meaning.
