Sketch Engine工具在词汇搭配和同义词辨析教学上的应用

The Application of Sketch Engine in Teaching Collocations and Synonyms

基于计算机的语料库研究是网络信息技术运用在外语教学的典型体现之一。Sketch Engine作为一种在线语料库索引工具，用来描述总结词汇的语法知识包括关键词与词语搭配的使用频率、显著性，相关例句以及语法关系，同义词辨析等功能，本文主要介绍该工具的使用方法以及在词语搭配和同义词辨析教学上的可应用性，并探讨了在教学实践中的教师应如何借助语料库的资源充实课堂资料，并引导鼓励学生通过使用SketchEngine进行探索性学习，从语料库辅助教学的模式中受益。

One typical application of information technology in language teaching lies in computer-based corpus research. The Sketch Engine is an on-line Corpus Query System incorporating word sketches, grammatical relations, and a distributional thesaurus. It presents the summary of a word＇s grammatical and collocational behaviour as well as the supporting contexts. The paper introduces the applicability of Sketch Engine in teaching word collocation and synonym analysis, calling on more teacher and student users to try the tool to promote both teaching and study, to benefit from the corpus-based teaching mode.
