@article{oai:teapot.lib.ocha.ac.jp:00042494, author = {佐々木, 馨 and SASAKI, Kaori}, journal = {人間文化創成科学論叢}, month = {Mar}, note = {紀要論文, The present study examines whether the second language (L2) visual word recognition strategies change according to learners’ L2 proficiency. A semantic-decision task with 2 types of kanji characters (pseudohomophones and pseudo-homographs) was performed by Japanese learners whose first language (L1) is Thai. The learners were divided into two groups according to their L2 proficiency. The results of two-way ANOVA on the type of kanji and L2 proficiency revealed a significant main effect of L2 proficiency for reaction time and error rate, respectively. As for the type of kanji, the main effect was seen only for the error rate. In other words, the higher proficiency group’s reaction time was shorter, and the error rates were lower than for the lower proficiency group. Moreover, there was no interaction between kanji type and L2 proficiency both for reaction time and for error rate. The results suggest that, L2 word recognition becomes faster and more accurate with higher proficiency. However, the information used by L2 learners did not change according to their proficiency. Furthermore, even if their L1 uses phonetic characters, it is believed that the learners use orthographic information for L2 kanji recognition.}, pages = {73--82}, title = {L2習熟度による漢字語処理の変化 ―タイ語を母語とする日本語学習者を対象に―}, volume = {21}, year = {2019} }
