初中生语用能力调查与研究

Investigation of Junior Middle School Students' Pragmatic Competence

文章用“语篇补全测试的方法”调查了初中生的语用能力,结果显示中学生能够在一些熟悉的情形下得体地表达拒绝、道歉等言语行为,但所使用的策略单一,对一些套语的具体使用语境不清楚,由母语干扰引起的语用错误普遍存在。同时我们发现学生在实施言语行为时有两种趋势,一是言语过于罗嗦,造成冗言现象;二是言语过短,往往使双方的对话难以继续深入进行。

＂Discourse completion task＂is used in this paper to investigate Junior Middle School students＇ pragmatic competence. The result shows that they can express speech acts such as refusal, apology and so on appropriately in some situations,but their strategy is limited, they are unclear about the context of some formulaic phrases and a lot of pragmatic errors are the result of transfer of mother tongue,There are two tendencies existing in students＇speech acts：one is verbosity which means they speak too much ;the other is in appropriate shortness which makes it difficult to continue the dialogue.
