近二十年国内心理词典表征研究综述

A Review of Research on Mental Lexicon Representation in China over the Past Two Decades

摘要: 心理词典表征是指词汇在大脑中组织、存储和连接的方式。近年来，这一研究方向在语言习得研究领域受到广泛关注。本文基于中国知网期刊数据库，系统梳理了近二十年来心理词典表征研究的相关文献，重点从一语、双语、三语心理词典三方面，分析其在我国语言习得研究中的应用现状和发展趋势。研究发现存在实证研究样本量偏小；缺乏对词汇表征动态发展过程的描述；词汇表征与概念表征模型划分不清；试验方法差异显著导致实验结果存在差异等问题。针对以上不足，本文提出注重习得者个体因素差异；拓宽历时研究角度；加强实践应用功能发挥；关注三语心理词典表征等未来展望。

Abstract: Mental lexicon representation refers to the organization, storage, and interconnection of lexical items in the human brain. In recent years, this research domain has garnered considerable attention within the field of language acquisition. Drawing on literature retrieved from the CNKI journal database, this study provides a systematic review of research on mental lexicon representation in China over the past two decades. It focuses on three major strands—first language (L1), bilingual (L2), and trilingual (L3) mental lexicons—and analyzes their application status and developmental trends in Chinese language acquisition research. The review identifies several critical issues: insufficient sample sizes in empirical studies; a lack of longitudinal investigation into the dynamic development of lexical representation; indistinct boundaries between lexical and conceptual representation models; and methodological discrepancies that result in inconsistent findings. In response to these limitations, the paper proposes several directions for future inquiry, including greater attention to individual learner differences, expansion of diachronic research approaches, enhanced integration of theoretical findings into practice, and a more focused exploration of trilingual mental lexicon representation.
