A Review of Second Language Structural Priming Research
نویسنده
چکیده
Structural priming reveals a new horizon in the research of bilingual syntactic representations. It facilitates the interpretation of bilingual syntactic transfer and syntactic misuse. So structural priming in L2 (second language) is practically meaningful for L2 teaching and learning. This paper attempts to review the within-language and between-language priming, as well as interaction studies to examine how far research has delved into this field and suggestions for future research are provided.

Structural Priming Effects on EFL Production of Passive Structures
This study investigates the role structural priming plays in production of passive structures among Iranian EFL learners. In order to answer the research question, which asked whether structural priming effects result in an increase in the production of the target structure (i.e., passive structures), 60 Iranian EFL learners participated in the study. After taking the placement test, they were ...

متن کاملThe Efficacy of Structural Priming on the Acquisition of Double Object Construction by Chinese EFL Learners
Structural priming refers to the tendency of speakers to reuse the same structural pattern as one that was previously encountered (Bock, 1986). The effectiveness of structural priming has been an issue of much discussion in the field of second language acquisition over decades. This study aims at investigating the role of structural priming in Chinese English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) learner...
متن کاملVerb bias and structural priming in non-linguistic grammar acquisition task
Domain-general statistical learning (SL) is thought to support language phenomena like verb bias and structural priming. We explored this idea by inducing these phenomena within a non-linguistic serial reaction time (SRT) task where participants learned an English-like artificial language using SL. In a series of two experiments we found error rates to be sensitive to verbs’ structural preferen...
متن کاملStructural Priming in Sentence Comprehension
This study examines structural priming in an on-line reading task that compares reading performance by first and second language readers of English. Robust effects for priming were evident for the second, but not first, language readers, suggesting that priming may occur where there are insufficient sentence traces in memory to support sentence interpretation. The empirical results are simulate...
