　　自21世紀(jì)之初以來,生成語言學(xué)二語習(xí)得研究關(guān)注的焦點已經(jīng)從早期的普遍語法可及性研究轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)閷Χ�語變異性的探討。在最簡方案理論框架下,語言之間的參數(shù)差異主要是由功能語類所包含的形式特征造成的,因而形式特征成為當(dāng)前生成語言學(xué)二語習(xí)得研究的核心。然而,二語的變異性很難用傳統(tǒng)的一分為二的參數(shù)研究方法來解釋。形式特征在不同語言中的表征形式及表征環(huán)境的對比分析為探討二語習(xí)得的持久變異性提供了一個富有前景的研究視角。在這一宏觀背景之下,本研究采用特征對比分析法探討中國英語學(xué)習(xí)者對wh-疑問句的習(xí)得情況。英語中的疑問標(biāo)句詞C所包含的[uwh*]特征需要移動wh-詞到CP標(biāo)志語的位置來核查,而與之對應(yīng)的漢語中的[uwh]特征可以被位于原位的wh-詞核查。英語中的問句特征[Qu_+AFFIX]通過移動助動詞到標(biāo)句詞C來實現(xiàn),而漢語中的問句特征[Qu_-AFFIX]則是通過問句語素(顯性或隱性)直接實現(xiàn)的,而且問句語素基礎(chǔ)生成于標(biāo)句詞C。本研究主要探討了中國英語學(xué)習(xí)者能否習(xí)得這些疑問特征的句法表征、表征環(huán)境、詞匯形式,以及導(dǎo)致習(xí)得變異和困難的可能原因。本研究一共采用了四...
