Tóm tắt

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between overall comprehension and the comprehension of coreferential ties for second language readers of Spanish literature. Subjects were beginning and advanced Spanish students at a small liberal arts college. Results showed significant differences (p < .01) between beginning and advanced groups on both the overall comprehension and the coreferential identification measures. Results from a Pearson product-moment procedure showed significant correlations between overall comprehension and coreferent identification at both beginning and advanced levels. These significant correlations indicate that coreferential tie errors may be symptomatic of confusion about another entity in the text. © 1994.
