摘　　要： 二语习得中母语迁移是错误的重要来源之一。本文讨论中国学生用英语表达时的句子主语丢失现象。汉语是话题优先型语言 ,话题与主语重合或话题出现而主语不出现的现象十分普遍 ;而英语是主语优先型语言 ,话题仅是一种特殊现象。笔者认为在学生尚未完全习得英语主语形式规则时 ,可能因为汉语话题结构的影响而对主语丢失不敏感。实验结果支持我们的假设。 L1 transfer is an important source of errors in the process of learning a second language. This essay examines the phenomenon of pro drop in the English output by students of Chinese L1. Chinese is a topic prominent language, where it is normal to find sentences with topic subject co reference, or with topic but without subject. In contrast, English is a subject prominent language, where topicalization is not frequent. It is hypothesized that before learners have finally acquired the English subject rules, they may not be sensitive to the pro drop in their output, due to the influence of the Chinese topic structures. The result of an empirical study supports the hypothesis.
