论文摘要
摘要:现代语言学之父索绪尔在《普通语言学教程》中指出,语言学的任务之一是:“对一切能够得到的语言进行描写并整理它们的历史,那就是,整理各语系的历史,尽可能重建每个语系的母语。”哲学家海德格尔指出:“语言是人类的家园”。语言作为一个民族身份的象征,在其日常生活中起着重要的作用,它总是以语音和形态的方式规定和制约着人们的交际行为。当前,少数民族及其语言得到了越来越多的关注,然而,少数民族母语文化对少数民族外语学习的影响尚未引起人们足够的重视。尽管外语教育研究人员已经注意到母语文化对外语学习的影响,但是他们把所有的外语学习者置于汉语母语文化的视野当中去研究,忽略了学习者的民族差别。我国民族多样性显著,在大力构建社会主义和谐社会的时代背景下,少数民族的外语教育必须引起人们足够的重视,母语文化对少数民族学生外语学习的影响应当引起足够的关注。本文从少数民族母语文化的视角,应用二语(外语)教学以及语言与文化的相关理论,探讨了纳西族母语文化对纳西族英语学习者英语学习的影响。本研究首先假定母语文化对纳西族英语学习者的英语学习有显著影响,然后通过访谈和问卷调查的方式对这一设想进行定性研究。研究结果表明,母语对纳西族英语学习者的英语学习影响显著,主要表现在语音、语序以及句法方面,文化对纳西族学习者的英语学习具有深远的影响,但影响的程度及显著性难以衡量,有待今后进一步研究。本研究具有一定的教学指导意义,对纳西族英语学习者及从事纳西族英语教学的教师均有一定的借鉴意义。
