Abstract The research reported in this article examines Noun Phrase (NP) syntactic complexity in the writing of Spanish EFL secondary school learners in Grades 7, 8, 11 and 12 in the International Corpus of Crosslinguistic Interlanguage. Two methods were combined: a manual parsing of NPs and an automatic analysis of NP indices using the Tool for the Automatic Analysis of Syntactic Sophistication and Complexity (TAASSC). Our results revealed that it is in premodifying slots that syntactic complexity in NPs develops. We argue that two measures, (i) nouns and modifiers (a syntactic complexity index) and (ii) determiner + multiple premodification + head (a NP type obtained as a result of a corpus-driven analysis), can be used as indices of syntactic complexity in young Spanish EFL learner language development. Besides offering a learner-language-driven taxonomy of NP syntactic complexity, the paper underscores the strength of using combined methods in SLA research.

年轻西班牙语 EFL 学习者写作中的名词短语复杂性

摘要 本文报告的研究调查了国际跨语言交互语言语料库中 7、8、11 和 12 年级西班牙 EFL 中学学习者写作中名词短语 (NP) 的句法复杂性。结合了两种方法:手动解析 NP 和使用句法复杂性自动分析工具 (TAASSC) 自动分析 NP 索引。我们的结果表明,NPs 中的句法复杂性是在预修饰槽中发展起来的。我们认为,(i) 名词和修饰语(句法复杂性指数)和(ii)限定词 + 多重前置修饰 + 中心词(通过语料库驱动分析获得的 NP 类型)可以用作年轻西班牙语 EFL 学习者语言发展中的句法复杂性。
