5、learning English as a foreign language (EFL), vocabulary learning is universally regarded as central, and polysemy is the commonest phenomenon of English vocabulary. For a Chinese EFL learner, the acquisition process of English polysemous words is inevitably based upon his prior knowledge and experi

Nevertheless, very little focuses on the Chinese EFL learner current mental lexical state or on the formati

This research aims to investigate Chinese EFL learners current mental lexical state of English polysemy from the perspective of LCCM Theory by Vyvyan Evan. After a comprehensive review of relevant literature at home and abroad on English poly

The questionnaire was carried out to 529 participants from two high schools (Xiamen Haicang Experimental Hig

Relevant research dada has obtained of various levels of Chinese EFL learners. The major findings are as follows: 1. Most Chinese

10、EFL learners has mastered one or two meaning units of common polysemous words, and the ranking sequence of the various meaning units varies for learners of different levels. English majors have a better knowledge of English polysemy than high school students and non-English majors. Moreover, the deg

The lexical concept of a certain meaning unit in Chinese EFL learner mental lexicon is associated with the lexical concept of a certain Chinese word. The connectio

12、ns between lexical concepts and cognitive models of some meaning units of a polysemous word are not well-formed, and where the connections are well-formed, the lexical concept can be easily activated by the cognitive model. 3.

Their knowledge and information of the meaning units of Chinese words affects the cognition of the connection of meaning units of English words, and the same time hinders the development of the

However, for some learners, the formation and development of the lexical concept of a polysemous word is aff

Based on the above findings of the research, the author discusses at the

Key words: Chinese EFL learners; mental lexicon; polysemy; LCCM theory 摘要 在英语作为外语的学习中，词汇学习被公认为是英语学习的核心内容。在英语 词汇中，多义词是普遍现象。对于中国的英语学习者而言，英语多义词的学习过程 必然基于其已有知识经验与汉语词汇概念，必然是一个复杂的心理词汇形成过程。

18、尽管语言学与心理学界大量研究了双语心理词汇问题，但很少有人研究中国英语学 习者英语多义词掌握的现状，英语多义词形成与发展的过程与特征等问题。本研究 运用 Vyvyan Evans 关于词义建构的词汇概念与认知模型理论 (LCCM Theory)， 探究 了中国英语学习者英语多义词心理词汇的现状特征。 本研究在综述了国内外关于英语多义词与心理词汇相关研究文献之后，根据已 有相关研究与 LCCM 理论设计了中国英语学习者多义词心理词汇研究调查问卷，对 两所高中与三所大学共计 529 名学生实施了问卷调查，获得了不同水平的中国英语 学习者多义词心理词汇的研究数据。研究数据分析结果表明： 一、 对于熟

19、悉的英语多义词汇，大部分被调查的中国英语学习者都掌握一个或 两个词义，多个词义在不同学习者心理词汇中的排 列顺序不尽相同。英语专业学生 的多义词掌握程度好于高中学生与非英语专业学生。英语学习者对多义词词义之间 关联的意识程度与认知度，同多义词掌握的程度之间，存在正相关关系。 二 、 中国英语学习者的英语多义词某个词义的心理词汇概念对应着某个汉语词 汇概念，其英语多义词某些词义的心理词汇概念与其认知模型之间没有形成良好的 联结。凡是形成良好联结的多义词词义，其词汇概念都能够很容易被认知模型所激 活。 三、 母语迁移对中国英语学习者英语多义词心理词汇的形成和发展具有影响作 用。负迁移比正迁移的影响

20、更为显著。中国英语学 习者的汉语词义关联知识影响着 其对英语多义词词义关联的认知，妨碍着其按照英语多义词词义之间的隐喻关联与 历史发展轨迹形成多义词汇的能力。尽管他们能够在特定语境中提取多义词的具体 词义，但是，语境所形成的汉语词义有时也会延缓词义提取过程并造成错误的英语 表达。 四、 大部分的中国英语学习者都无意识地利用隐喻和借喻这两种认知途径扩展 其英语多义词的词义。然而，对于部分学习者而言，汉英词义之间的意义关联程度 影响着其英语多义词词汇概念的延伸与形成过程；亦有些学习者会通过这两种比喻 方式由已知的词汇概念生成错误的词汇概念。 基于上述研究结果，论文最后就英语多义词的学习与教学提出了
