Abstract

This study explored the speech processing strategies for English speakers of three Chinese proficiency levels to learn five types of Chinese quantifier complement sentences through the compiled examination. English speakers experience four speech processing strategies from the low level to the high level when they are processing word order of quantifier complements: sequential combination strategy of verb-quantifiers < verb-object phrase adding strategy < verb-object phrase separation and insertion strategy < separable word separation and insertion strategy. This process reflects the development from external processing to internal processing, that is, from the external adding of components to internal separation and insertion of components. The internal separation of phrases is also manifested by development features from separation among different components to separation of single component.
