【摘要】 对于我国大多数外语学习者来说,学习外语更多的是通过阅读来获取有效信息。英语阅读理解一直以来都被看作是语言教学中最重要的部分。阅读主要是提取段落、文章的意义,在这个过程中,对句子的理解是必不可少的一环。句法分析在语言理解中具有重要作用,它是语言理解的一种必要策略。借助句法分析,人们可以正确理解词与词之间的句法逻辑关系,分辨多义词在具体句子中的特定含义,准确分析出句子结构,进而达成语言理解。本文通过准实验研究来探讨加强和巩固句法知识对提高大学生英语阅读能力的可行性和有效性。作者试图在句法分析与阅读能力之间找到一个结合点,与读者共同掌握有关句法知识,学会在阅读中充分利用句法知识掌握句法结构,以提高阅读理解的准确性。70名来自安阳理工学院非英语专业的大二学生参与此项研究,其中实验班和控制班各35人。实验历时14周。研究通过调查问卷和测试收集数据,采用SPSS软件进行数据分析。实验结果显示对句法知识强化的实验班的阅读水平提高的幅度要高于采用传统阅读课堂活动的控制班。根据定性和定量相结合的分析,在传统句法理论、句法与认知语义相结合的理论指导下,作者对大学生强化和巩固句法知识是否能提高大学生阅读能力及阅读可理解性输入的有效性进行了针对性的研究。本研究可以引起人们对句法和阅读之间联系的关注,从而对提高大学生阅读能力的研究有一定的推动作用。

【Abstract】 Most foreign language learners learn a foreign language by reading to obtaineffective information. As a carrier of speech and information based on articles reading isa speech process of cognitive construction on written materials. English readingcomprehension has long been considered as the most important part in language teaching.Therefore, the applied linguists and language teachers have paid much attention toEnglish reading. In the reading comprehension, the quantity of answering the questionscorrectly and quickly is an important indicator to disclose reading competence, namely,reading competence includes reading speed and accuracy of reading. Language learnersextract the main point of paragraphs and articles through reading. Syntactic analysisinevitably plays an important role in the process of reading. Syntactic analysis has animportant role in language understanding; and it is also a necessary strategy in languageunderstanding. With the syntactic analysis, language learners can correctly understandthe words and syntactic logical relations between words, distinguish polysemy inparticular the specific meaning of the sentence, accurately analyze sentence structure,and achieve language understanding.This thesis explores the feasibility and effectiveness of strengthening andconsolidating syntactic knowledge to improve college student’s English readingcompetence through a quasi-experimental research. The author tries to find acombination between syntactic analysis and the reading, and goes together to grasp thesyntactic knowledge with the readers. The aim is to help foreign language learnersimprove the accuracy of reading comprehension. Seventy non-English major sophomoresin Anyang City Polytechnic College participate in the present research. In order to getmore objective and direct information, the author carries out an experimental research inthis study. The number of students in the experimental group and the control group isequal, and there are thirty-five students in each group. This research lasts fourteen weeks,collects data through the questionnaire and tests and adopts the software SPSS to analyze the statistics. The results of the experiment show after strengthening and consolidatingsyntactic knowledge the subjects’ reading competence in the experimental group is muchbetter than that of the control group. It demonstrates that mastery of syntactic knowledgeis more useful in developing college students’ reading proficiency. According to acombination of qualitative and quantitative analysis and based on traditional syntacticknowledge and syntactic theories combined by semantics and cognitive linguistics, tostrengthen and consolidate the syntactic knowledge benefits students’ reading ability andthe effectiveness of reading comprehensible input. Syntactic exercises enable students toachieve their own syntactic mapping to enhance self-learning and understanding ofautomated reading. The research draws attention of the relationship between syntacticknowledge and reading competence. In addition, it also promotes the research ofimproving college reading competence.
