本研究旨在探析不同外语水平、专业和性别的大学本科生在词义推测能力及词义推测策略运用上的异同,提出并回答了有关词汇推测能力和推测策略的三个研究问题。结果表明:学生的词汇推测能力和推测策略不同程度地受到外语水平、专业和性别的影响。推测策略能有效预测词汇推测能力。本文还指出了此次实验的不足之处。 The purpose of this study is to explore the similarities and differences between the undergraduates of different foreign language proficiency, specialty and gender in the use of word-guessing ability and the word-sense guessing tactics, and to propose and answer three research questions about vocabulary guessing ability and speculation strategy. The results show that the students’ vocabulary conjecture and speculative strategies are influenced to different degrees by foreign language proficiency, major and gender. Speculative strategies can effectively predict vocabulary speculation. This article also pointed out the shortcomings of this experiment.
