构建首个面向英语作为第二语言的语义句法资源库
Towards Linguistically-informed Representations for English as a Second or Foreign Language: Review, Construction and Application
- 以构式为单位建模，融合语法与语义映射关系
- 涵盖1643句经标注的二语英语语料，形成金标准资源
- 适用于二语习得研究，尤其关注语言习得机制
英语作为第二或外语（ESFL）的广泛使用引发范式转变：ESFL不再被视为标准英语的偏离，而被视作独立的语言系统。为此，本文综述现有ESFL资源并指出其局限性，提出新解决方案。基于建构主义理论，将构式视为分析基本单元，建立兼顾标准英语与二语英语的语法-语义接口模型。该设计通过参考英语的句法-语义映射，捕捉多种二语现象，同时保留其独特特征，最终构建包含1643个标注句子的金标准语义句法资源库。为验证实用性，开展试点研究测试语言生态位假说，凸显其在二语习得研究中的应用潜力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The widespread use of English as a Second or Foreign Language (ESFL) has sparked a paradigm shift: ESFL is not seen merely as a deviation from standard English but as a distinct linguistic system in its own right. This shift highlights the need for dedicated, knowledge-intensive representations of ESFL. In response, this paper surveys existing ESFL resources, identifies their limitations, and proposes a novel solution. Grounded in constructivist theories, the paper treats constructions as the fundamental units of analysis, allowing it to model the syntax--semantics interface of both ESFL and standard English. This design captures a wide range of ESFL phenomena by referring to syntactico-semantic mappings of English while preserving ESFL's unique characteristics, resulting a gold-standard syntactico-semantic resource comprising 1643 annotated ESFL sentences. To demonstrate the sembank's practical utility, we conduct a pilot study testing the Linguistic Niche Hypothesis, highlighting its potential as a valuable tool in Second Language Acquisition research.
