从语言标记性看中国学生英语写作中的时体使用情况

Use of English tenses by Chinese Students from the Perspective of Markedness

本研究采用指导性写作和语法测试两项任务,旨在从语言标记性角度考察中国学生的英语时体使用情况。研究中对收集到的数据按照标记性程度进行编码,并且采用T-检验来分析数据,研究发现英语时体的标记性与学习者的时体使用在跨语言与言内两个层面上均存在着紧密的联系。

This paper aims to examine English tenses used by Chinese students from the perspective of markedness. Data were collected using two tasks： the instructed writing task and the grammaticality task. The coded results were analyzed by comparing means with T-test in order to determine whether students＇ tense-aspect use is influenced by markedness. The results indicate a close link between markedness in English tenses and students＇ use of tenses at both intralingual and cross-linguistic levels.
