歧义容忍度对高中生英语阅读能力的影响研究
A Study on the Influence of Tolerance of Ambiguity on Senior High School Students’ English Reading Competence

英语作为全球交流的重要工具，英语阅读能力在高中阶段的学术发展中起着关键作用。然而，许多学生在阅读过程中会遇到语言歧义问题，导致理解困难。歧义容忍度，作为一种个体在面对语言不明确或多义情况下的应对能力，可能会在一定程度上影响学生的阅读理解过程和效果。通过对国内外相关文献的查阅，发现具备较高歧义容忍度的学生能够更好地理解含有歧义或多义词的文本，表现出较强的阅读理解能力。相反，歧义容忍度较低的学生在遇到文本中存在模糊或不明确含义时，往往容易陷入困惑，影响他们的整体阅读表现。因此，本研究最后阐述了教师应如何注重培养学生的歧义容忍度，帮助他们更好地应对阅读中的语言歧义，提升其英语阅读能力。
As an important tool for global communication, English reading ability plays a crucial role in academic development during high school. However, many students encounter language ambiguity during the reading process, leading to difficulties in understanding. Tolerance of ambiguity, as an individual’s ability to cope with unclear or ambiguous language, may to some extent affect students’ reading comprehension process and effectiveness. Through reviewing relevant literature both domestically and internationally, it was found that students with high tolerance for ambiguity are better able to understand texts containing ambiguous or multiple meanings, demonstrating strong reading comprehension abilities. On the contrary, students with lower tolerance for ambiguity are often prone to confusion when encountering ambiguous or unclear meanings in the text, which affects their overall reading performance. Therefore, this study concludes by elaborating on how teachers should focus on cultivating students’ tolerance for ambiguity, helping them better cope with language ambiguity in reading, and enhancing their English reading abilities.
