Abstract Sense of language, though has been existed for a long time, it enters the linguists’ research area only in the latest twenty years. This paper discusses the sense of language in English reading teaching from the psychological point of view. It begins with the definition and psychological mechanism of the sense of language and reading. By analyzing and comparing their psychological mechanism, it explores the relationship of the sense of language and reading. It holds that sense of language and reading is interpromoted. Reading can strengthen the sense of language by optimizing its structure (formal structure, situational structure, intentional structure), meanwhile, the strengthening of the sense of language can in turn facilitate recognizing, perception, comprehension, association, evaluation, thinking, accumulation and memorizing in reading and improve reading ability. Next, it discusses the factors of the sense of language that can influence English reading for Chinese readers. These factors include L2 acquisition and training background differences, language processing differences, thinking pattern differences between Chinese and English readers, and writing system differences, social context differences between Chinese and English. Then it states that strong sense of language can decrease the negative influences caused by these factors in English reading. At last, it points out the significance of the sense of language in English reading teaching. 摘要尽管语感的存在有着相当长的历史，但它在最近二十年才真正成为语言学家的研究热点．本文从心理语言学的角度讨论了英语阅读教学中的语感因素．首先从语感与阅读的定义及心理机制入手，通过分析、比较它们的心理机制，本文发掘出语感与阅读是一种相互促进的关系：阅读过程的各阶段（认读－感知、理解－联想、评价－思维、积累－记忆、运用－迁移、）分别与语感的各层次结构（形式结构，情境结构，意向结构）相联，促进个结构的优化，从而增强语感；而语感的增强又可在阅读过程中促使更有效的认读、感知、理解、联想、评价、思维、积累、记忆，从而促进阅读能力的提高．接着，本文探讨了语感在中国学生英语阅读中的影响因素．这些因素包括中英学生二语习得及训练背景的不同，语言处理方式的不同，思维方式的不同等，以及中英文字系统和文化背景的不同等．然后，又论证了语感的增强可以减少这些因素给中国学生英语阅读带来的负面影响，由此提出应注意英语阅读教学中的语感因素． Contents Acknowledgements…………………………………………………….......ii Abstract…………………………………………………………………….iii Introduction…………………………………………………………………1 1．The definition of sense of language…………………………………….1 2．The psychological mechanism of the sense of language……………….3 3．The definition and psychological mechanism of reading………………6 4．The relationship between the sense of language and reading……. …….10 5．The influence of sense of language on English reading for Chinese readers……………………………………………12 Conclusion…………………………………………………………. …….19 Bibliography……………………………………………………….. …….20 Introduction Langue, parole, pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar have been the most favorable terms in the linguistic area for so long a time, while their counter term--sense of language, which belongs to the subjective category, seems to be neglected. However, in the latest twenty years, many linguists, especially those in China began to take great interests in it. Some of the pioneers are Yie Shengtao and Lü Shuxiang. Wang shangwen’s “on Sense of Language” became the only book devoted to exploring this field. Some foreign linguists have mentioned it, for instance, Clark’s “language consciousness”, Sinclair’s “language awareness” and Chomsky’s “language intuition”. But no clear and accurate definition was made, let alone to apply it to the language teaching area. In the language teaching area, reading teaching has been the subject that draws most attention. In China, linguists have exploited all kinds of methods on reading teaching, for example, grammar method, vocabulary method, however, failed to apply se
