cross-linguistic influence and task effects

La prosodia es particularmente difícil de adquirir, porque requiere un entendimiento de la entonación, la sintaxis, y la pragmática. Para adquirir la distinción entre preguntas y declarativas en inglés, un hablante tiene que aprender que las declarativas (Ss) y preguntas absolutas sí/no (AQs) están sintáctica y prosódicamente marcadas, mientras que la diferencia entre Ss y preguntas declarativas (DQs) es únicamente prosódica. Además, las DQs solo ocurren en contextos limitados. En este estudio, examinamos la percepción y comprensión de las Ss, AQs, y DQs del inglés, por hablantes nativos de español, mandarín, e inuktitut, con el objetivo de investigar la influencia interlingüística (CLI). En español, la diferencia entre las Ss y las AQs/DQs es puramente prosódica, mientras que, en mandarín, las preguntas (AQs, DQs) pueden ser idénticas sintácticamente a las Ss, o estar marcadas por la partícula -ma. El mandarín tiene también una distinción prosódica entre preguntas de foco amplio y preguntas confirmatorias, similar a la del inglés. El inuktitut, en cambio, tiene un uso limitado de la prosodia; las preguntas están marcadas morfológicamente. Aprendices de cada una de estas lenguas y un grupo de control completaron tres tareas. Los resultados revelaron evidencia de CLI positiva y negativa. Los hablantes de mandarín e inuktitut se enfocaron más en la sintaxis que la entonación. Además, los hablantes de mandarín tuvieron más éxito en la adquisición de la distinción entre las AQs y DQs, lo cual, argüimos, fue debido al contraste pragmático existente en mandarín.
