本研究旨在探索不同的注意形态对于习得二语动词搭配特征所产生的作用，以及这一作用是否受搭配模式的复杂程度和学生二语综合水平的影响。作者研究了不同的注意形态在中国学生学习英语动名词搭配特征时所起的作用，以及这种作用是否受搭配模式的繁简程度和学生本身英语综合水平的影响。有关二语搭配习得的研究目前仍然较少，已有的研究主要集中于分析搭配错误而非动态的学习过程。

本书运用注意理论分析了学生习得二语动名词搭配的过程。作者研究了不同的注意形态在中国学生学习英语动名词搭配特征时所起的作用，以及这种作用是否受搭配模式的繁简程度和学生本身英语综合水平的影响。有关二语搭配习得的研究目前仍然较少，已有的研究主要集中于分析搭配错误而非动态的学习过程。本书在这一领域作了一些探索，可供外语教学及二语习得研究者参考。
