大型中国小学生作文语料库的生成

The Construction of Large-scale Chinese Pupils’ Written Language Corpus

当前,通过收集学生在学习语言时创作的作文来建立学习者语料库并在语料库的基础上开展各种语言研究和教学应用已成为应用语言学的研究热点。目前我国已建立了近十个学习者语料库,包括中国学习者英语语料库和外国学习者汉语语料库。然而,关于中国学习者汉语语料库的建设却关注较少。本研究将凭借北京师范大学现代教育技术研究所在小学长期开展语文教改试验的良好基础建立一个大型中国小学生作文语料库。截至2007年8月,本语料库已建设成为一个涉及小学五个年级、历时五年、字数在1100万以上的大型作文语料库,在小学语文教学、儿童语言发展研究、小学生思维能力发展研究等三个方面有较高的应用价值。

Nowadays, It is research hotspot of applied linguistics that researchers developed learner corpora by collecting students＇ compositions and made some language studies and instructional applications based on learner corpora. At present, nearly ten learner corpora including Chinese learner English corpora and foreign learner Chinese corpora have been set up. However, the construction of Chinese learner Chinese corpora has been seldom paid attention to. In this study we will set up a large-scale pupils＇ written language corpus based on the long-term Chinese instructional reform experiment by Modern Educational Technology Institute of BNU. Until August 2007, this corpus has been built as a large-scale corpus with the time span of five primary school grades and over 1,100,000 Chinese characters. This corpus will play an important role in Chinese instruction of primary school, the study of children＇s language development and the study of pupils＇ thinking development.
