المستخلص

Implicit causality (IC) and Implicit Consequentiality (IR) are identified as universal attributes or elements that affect pronoun use because they arise from verb or adverb biases. Grounding this study was the notion that IC and IR influence noun resolution among EFL learners. Implicit Causality Biases has an effect on how EFL learners make pronoun resolution. The study seeks to test if implicit causality is also linked to co-reference bias, hence influencing pronoun resolution among EFL learners. This was a quantitative study through Survey Monkey questionnaires, targeting 30 respondents (IC=n, 15 and IR= N, 15).The findings indicated that both IC and IR biases affected quality of pronoun resolution among EFL learners.
خلفية:يتم تحديد السببية الضمنية (IC) والتبعية الضمنية (IR) کسمات أو عناصرعالمية تؤثرعلى استخدام الضمير لأنها ناشئة عن تحيزات الفعل أوالظرف.
تقوم هذه الدراسة على فکرة أن السببية الضمنية (IC) والتبعية الضمنية (IR) هما تأثيران على دقة الأسماء بين متعلمي اللغة الإنجليزية کلغة أجنبية.
کما تؤثرالتحيزات السببية الضمنية على کيفية اتخاذ متعلمي اللغة الإنجليزية کلغة أجنبية قرارًا ضميرًا .الأهداف: سعت الدراسة إلى اختبار ما إذا کانت العلاقة السببية الضمنية مرتبطة أيضًا بالتحيز المشترک للإحالة ، مما يؤثر على دقة الضمير بين متعلمي اللغة الإنجليزية کلغة أجنبية. کما سعت الدراسة إلى استکشاف ما إذا کانت العلاقة السببية الضمنية مرتبطة أيضًا بالتحيز المشترک للإحالة ، مما يؤثر على دقة الضمير بين متعلمي اللغة الإنجليزية کلغة أجنبية . المنهجية: هذه دراسة کميّة من خلال استبيانات SurveyMonkey ، واستهدفت 30 من المشارکين (IC=n, 15 and IR= N, 15) . النتائج :أشارت النتائج إلى أن تحيز کل من IC و IR تؤثر على جودة قرار الضمير بين متعلمي اللغة الإنجليزية کلغة أجنبية.
