Aims and Objectives:

Embodiment is a major paradigm of first language (L1) research but has not yet been widely adopted in second language (L2) research. The main objective of this research was to find evidence for the effects of sensorimotor embodiment on L2 listening functor comprehension rates.

Research Hypothesis:

Frequency, word length, and Minkowski3 sensorimotor norms are significantly predictive of functor comprehension probability in an L2 listening task.

Methodology:

129 Japanese participants were administered a paused transcription test that contained twelve target phrases.

Data and analysis:

Transcription of functors was the dependent variable. The independent variables were frequency, word length, and Minkowski3 sensorimotor ratings. These variables were analyzed with logit mixed-effects regressions.

Findings/conclusions:

Greater frequency, longer word length, and higher Minkowski3 ratings were found to facilitate comprehension and significantly increase the probability that a functor was transcribed. Frequency rates derived from spontaneous L1 oration and conversations were found to be significant, whereas frequency derived from written texts was not significant despite being from a much larger corpus.

Originality:

No L2 study has used Minkowski3 sensorimotor ratings to predict L2 performance. Minkowski3 ratings quantify the relationship between language and the body. Few researchers have yet to incorporate embodiment theories into models of L2 comprehension.

Implications:

Embodiment theories complement usage-based approaches and should be incorporated into existing L2 theories. Researchers should be aware of textual differences between corpora and choose corpora appropriate for their analyses.

使用基于用法和实施方式的方法来预测第二语言听音符的理解概率

目的和目标：

体现是第一语言（L1）研究的主要范例，但尚未在第二语言（L2）研究中广泛采用。这项研究的主要目的是找到感觉运动实施对L2听力函子理解率的影响的证据。

研究假设：

频率，单词长度和Minkowski3感觉运动规范可显着预测L2听力任务中的函子理解概率。

方法：

129名日本参与者接受了包含12个目标短语的暂停转录测试。

数据与分析：

函子的转录是因变量。自变量是频率，单词长度和Minkowski3感觉运动等级。用logit混合效应回归分析了这些变量。

结果/结论：

发现更高的频率，更长的字长和更高的Minkowski3评级有助于理解，并显着增加了转录函子的可能性。人们发现，自发的L1口语和对话产生的频率频率是显着的，而书面文本产生的频率频率却不显着，尽管来自更大的语料库。

独创性：

没有L2研究使用Minkowski3感觉运动评分来预测L2性能。Minkowski3评分量化了语言与身体之间的关系。很少有研究人员将实施理论纳入L2理解模型中。

含义：

实施例理论补充了基于使用的方法，应纳入现有的第二层理论中。研究人员应了解语料库之间的文本差异，并选择适合其分析的语料库。
