Conceptualization Transfer in L2 Learners’ Language Production: A Comparative Study
- Abstract
- 언어습득분야에서 다양한 시각으로 교차언어영향 혹은 전이현상에 접근해왔지만, 이는 주로 발화시의 전이를 중심으로 한 것이었다. 이러한 전이의 형태들은 기저 복합형태의 개념화 전이의 부산물이라 할 것이다. 본 연구에서는 다음의 질문들에 대한 답을 구함으로써 제2언어 학습자의 언어 발화에 개념화 전 이가 미치는 영향을 조사하고자 하였다. 다른 언어를 사용하는 화자들은 각 언어에 해당하는 개념화 단계에서 정보를 조직함에 있어 다른 방식을 취하는가? 그리고 제2언어 학습자들은 제2언어를 말할 때 그들의 모국어에서 획득한 절차에 기반을 둔 개념화 패턴에 의지하는가? 혹은 목표어만을 사용하는 사람들의 대상화 패턴을 차용하는가? 이를 위해 공간망 묘사의 선형화와 이동사건의 어휘화, 두 영역을 취해 분석하였다. 이 실험의 결과는 언어가 개념화 단계의 두가지 수준, 거시적 수준 계획과 미시적 수준 계획에 분명한 영향을 미치고 있음을 보여준다. 이동사건 어휘화 실험에서 피실험자들의 개념화 단계에서의 선택, 구조화와 선형화가 제1언어와 제2언어에서 각각 다른 양상을 보였다. 선형화 실험에서는 피실험자들의 제1언어와 제2언어에서의 선택들은 각 언어특유점들이 피실험자의 선호형태를 결정하는 양상을 반영하고 있었다.
Crosslinguistic influence or the transfer phenomenon has been approached from all scopes in the field of language acquisition. However, almost all the attention has been focused on transfer in its production form. These types of transfer are byproducts of a deeper more complex representation of transfer: Conceptualization Transfer. This study investigates the consequences of conceptualization transfer on L2 learners’ language production by attempting to answer a couple of questions: Do speakers of different languages differ in the way they organize information within the conceptualizer? And Do L2 learners rely on conceptual patterns based on routine procedures acquired in their L1 when speaking L2? Or do they adopt conceptualization patterns of the monolinguals of the target language? To achieve this, two domains were chosen for analysis: Linearization in describing spatial networks, and lexicalization of motion events. The linearization experiment will analyze the macro-level planning in conceptualization, and the Lexicalization of motion events experiment will analyze the micro-level planning in the conceptualization.
The results obtained in this study shows that language has a clear influence on both levels of planning in the conceptualizer, i.e. the macro-level and micro-level. In the Lexicalization of motion events experiment, participants’ choices, in their L1 and L2 respectively, expressed differences in the selection, structuring, and linearization processes within the conceptualizer. In the Linearization experiment, the differences in the participants’ choices in their L1 and L2 reflects the way language-specific aspects shape the participants’ preferences.
