【摘要】 英语心理动词是描述人的心理活动或者心理状态的一类动词。根据经验体(Experiencer)论元角色被指派给句子的主语或宾语,它可以分为主语经验者动词和宾语经验者动词,后者也叫做心理使役动词(Psych? Causative? Verbs)。英语典型的使役化结构是词汇使役形式(Lexical?Causatives)。英汉两种语言类型学上的差异以及两类心理动词论元和句法功能的颠倒匹配都给中国英语学习者带来很大困难,因此错误使用屡见不鲜。相关研究往往局限于语言对比分析和语义句法理论上,在教学实践指导上并没有提出太多的建设性意见。顾曰国(1997)指出,英语教学和计算机技术的结合将会在传统教学无能为力的领域有所作为。因此,本文作者把心理使役动词这一英语教学难点和计算机辅助外语教学相结合,希望这一结合会在教学效果上有新的突破。在实证研究中,受试为一所外国语高中学生,对他们分别使用图片学习法,规则教学法及示例教学法来完成计算机辅助下英语心理使役动词的学习。根据测试数据作者得出结论:在案例研究中,示例法是最为高效的计算机辅助教学形式,它能有效地帮助学生掌握英语心理使役动词。作者期望计算机辅助教学能有效地消除学生习得英语心理使役动词时发生的错误,并希望本研究能为其它英语教学难点在实践教学上提供全新的方向,全面推进计算机辅助教学这一新元素在英语教学上发挥的作用。

【Abstract】 Psych verbs are those that are used primarily to describe states of mind or changes in states of mind. According to the argument——Experiencer is designed to subject or object, English psych verbs could be divided into SE (Subject Experiencer) and OE (Object Experiencer) verbs, the latter is also called psych causative verbs (PCVs). The typical English causativization is lexical causative. Because of differences on typology between English and Chinese as well as the mismatch of arguments and syntactic structures, PCVs are pretty hard for Chinese English learners. Some empirical studies about PCVs’learning have been done, however they are usually limited to language contrast or semantic or syntactic theories, there have little constructive advices for guiding practical teaching.Gu (1997) pointed out, the combination of English teaching and computer technology would achieve profound accomplishment in the field that traditional pedagogy could never reach. So, the thesis unites an English teaching key point——PCVs with CALL (Computer-Assisted Language Learning), and it hopes to have some breakthrough on teaching effect. The subjects are foreign language school students, who are assigned into Picture group, Instance group and Rule group respectively. The present author draws the conclusion based on the statistical data: in the case study, Instance-based CALL is the most effective type of CALL of PCVs.The thesis attempts to find out that CALL of PCVs could avoid learners’mistakes effectively, and hopes to provide a brand-new way for teaching English key points and push this fresh element to play a more important role in English teaching.
