僵化现象是外语学习过程中极其普遍的问题,但在对这一现象进行有理有据的探讨的同时,这些研究都频繁提及“停滞现象”这一术语。但大部分研究者将两者看作同种现象,并在文中毫无差异地互换使用两个术语。本文将从定义上对两者进行分析,探讨两种学习现象的不同特性。 Fossilization is an extremely common problem in foreign language learning, but while there is a well-founded discussion of this phenomenon, these studies frequently mention the term “stagnation.” However, most researchers treat the two as the same phenomenon and interchange two terms interchangeably in the text. This article will analyze both by definition and discuss the different characteristics of the two learning phenomena.
