چکیده

این مطالعه با هدف مقایسه تأثیر دانش نحوی و  دانش معناشناسی در فهم جملات انگلیسی توسط زبان ­آموزان ایرانی در سطوح مختلف انجام شده است. یکصد و نود زبان­ آموز ایرانی از طریق نمونه­ گیری آسان در سه گروه مبتدی، متوسط، و پیشرفته جهت این مطالعه به کار گرفته شدند. جهت انجام مقایسه بین تأثیرات احتمالی دانش نحوی و معناشناسی بین سطوح مختلف زبان آموزان، پنج دسته جمله ساخته شدند: ۲۰ جمله غلط به لحاظ دستوری و درست به لحاظ معنایی، ۲۰ جمله غلط به لحاظ معنایی و درست به لحاظ دستوری، ۲۰ جمله درست هم به لحاظ معنایی وهم به لحاظ دستوری، ۲۰ جمله غلط هم به لحاظ معنایی و هم به لحاظ دستوری، و ۲۰  جمله دیریاب. به منظور بررسی عملکرد شرکت­ کنندگان نرم افزارخاصی به کار گرفته شد که هم تعداد پاسخ­های صحیح و هم مدت زمان پاسخگویی به سوالات را مشخص می­کرد. پس از پردازش داده­ها مشخص شد که جملاتی که به لحاظ معنایی غلط بودند برای شرکت­ کنندگان آزمون سخت­ تر از دیگر جملات بوده است. همچنین یافته­ ها حاکی از آن بود که درک جملات غلط به لحاظ معنایی نسبت به جملات دیریاب دشوار­تر بوده است. همچنین نتایج نشان داد که جملات غلط به لحاظ دستوری و جملات درست به لحاظ معنایی و دستوری آسان­ترین جملات برای درک شرکت کنندگان بوده‌اند. در نهایت با توجه به داده­ها می­توان نتیجه گرفت که جملات غلط به لحاظ معنایی برای زبان­آموزان تمام سطوح سخت­ ترین نوع جملات هستند.
