摘要：This study explores the competitive relationship between form and meaning in getting attention based on the primacy of meaning principIe and the lexica1 preference principie (VanPatten, 2004a). With this end in view 161 participants were assigned to four experimental conditions: Silent reading with (+) and without (-) LTIs and thinlkaloud with (+) and without (-) LTls. +LTIs groups read a passage with a title referring to the past, 14 target forms -ed and 12 LTIs. «LTIs groups read a version of the passage with 14 target forms, with no title and LTls associated with the temporal morphology. To identify the degree of text comprehension resulting from djfferent conditions, all groups took a comprehension test while the degree of form processing was examined through a form-recognition test, a cloze-passage production test, and a translation test. A two-way ANOVA run on the data obtained from the comprehension test showed statistically main effect for +LTIs. Two-way ANOVAs run on the data obtained from the three tests examining the effects of «LTIs on participants' engagement wit'h L2 fonn processing showed some benefits. The results obtained 1'01' text interaction formats measured by comprehension test showed no benefit. Input processing made benefit from think-aloud protocol measured by cloze-passage and translation tests and not from form-recognition test. The interaction of ±LT[s and text interaction fonnats did not inl1uence comprehension; however, input processing was influenced by the interaction 01' ±LTls and text interaction formats.
