| Abstract: | The study investigated the intake by Chinese EFL listeners to establish whether function words or content words are processed more accurately and reported more frequently.The results show that the recognition rate of function words is considerably lower than that of content words in both groups of subjects.Besides,the disparity between the two types of words was relatively consistent across the two groups of subjects.These findings were explored in details and the implications for the teaching of English listening are also suggested. |
