| Abstract (English): |
Orthographic and phonological similarities between first (L1) and second (L2) languages can facilitate L2 processing. Particularly, L1‐Chinese learners of L2‐Japanese can benefit from the shared morphosyllabic Chinese characters (Japanese kanji/Chinese hanzi) because of their similar orthographies. However, they also face challenges from phonological inconsistency derived from the lack of lexical origin: Japanese kanji has both Chinese‐origin readings similar to hanzi pronunciation and native Japanese readings that lack phonological similarity and lexical origin with Chinese. In addition to kanji, Japanese has a Japanese original syllabic script, kana (hiragana), sharing neither orthographic nor phonological similarities. Given these orthographic and phonological complexities, investigating how L1‐Chinese learners navigate these challenges in L2‐Japanese word processing is essential. Therefore, we conducted an implicit cross‐language priming lexical decision task on advanced L1‐Chinese learners of L2‐Japanese (N = 23). Employing L1‐L2 translation equivalent pairs, we manipulated L2‐Japanese words as primes based on their orthographic and phonological similarities, as well as the lexical origin with L1‐Chinese. As a result, responses to L1‐Chinese words primed by L2‐Japanese words of L1‐Chinese origin in kanji with on‐readings (orthographically and phonologically similar) were significantly faster than unprimed controls. Contrarily, responses to L1‐target words primed by L2‐Japanese‐origin words with kun‐readings in hiragana (no orthographic/phonological similarity) were significantly slower than those primed by the L2‐Japanese words of L1‐Chinese‐origin. Nevertheless, we did not find a significant delay by Japanese‐origin words when they include kanji (orthographically similar). This study highlights an overreliance on cross‐language orthographic similarity in L2 lexical access by morphosyllabic readers, unlike alphabetic readers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Japanese): |
要旨: 第一言語 (first language: L1) と第二言語 (second language: L2) の間の書字/・音韻的類似性は、L2の語彙処理を促進する。中国語をL1とする日本語学習者は共通の形態音節文字である漢字 (日本語kanji/中国語hanzi) を活用することができるが、日本語の漢字には、中国語の発音に類似した中国語由来の音読みと、音韻的な類似性や語源を中国語と共有しない日本由来の訓読みが存在するため、混乱が生じる場合もある。さらに、日本語では漢字のみならず、日本固有の音節文字である仮名も併用されている。こうした書字及び音韻上の複雑さを踏まえ、本研究では、中国語をL1とする日本語学習者がL2日本語の語彙を処理する際のL1の書字と音韻の影響の度合いを検討した。上級の中国人日本語学習者 (N = 23) を対象に潜在的言語間プライミング語彙判断課題を実施した。L2日本語単語をプライムとして提示した後、それらプライム語のL1における翻訳等価語をターゲットとして提示し、語彙判断を求めた。L2日本語プライム語は、L1中国語との書字/・音韻的類似性ないし共有語源 (中国語/日本語由来) の有無に基づいて操作した。分析の結果、L1中国語ターゲットの語彙性判断の反応時間は、L2日本語でプライム提示した等価語が音読みの漢字語だった条件で、プライムなし条件より有意に速くなった。訓読みの平仮名のみのL2日本語等価語でプライムされると、音読みの漢字語によるプライムより有意に遅くなった。ただし、訓読み語でも漢字が少しでも含まれていれば、有意な遅延は見られなかった。形態音節文字使用者は、アルファベット使用者と異なり、L2語彙処理時に言語間の書字的類似性に強く依存することを示唆する。 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
