摘要
This study aims to discover the features of lexical cohesion in Chinese college EFL Writing:whether a particular type of lexical cohesion dominates student writing,how much lexical cohesion is affected by language proficiency and text type.Results indicated a sub-category of lexical cohesive device,exact repetition,had overwhelming dominance in Chinese college EFL writing.Writers' use of lexical cohesive devices was not affected by language proficiency,but partly influenced by writing in different text types.There was no correlation between reiteration ties and text type,but students used significantly more collocation ties in narration than argumentation.
本文对中国大学生英语写作中的词汇连接特征进行调查研究。结果显示大学生的英语写作过度依赖完全重复类连接,词汇连接与学生语言水平之间不存在关联性,但是与写作体裁存在部分关联性。复述类连接在记叙文和议论文的数量没有显著差别,搭配类连接在记叙文中的数量则显著超过议论文。在此基础上,本文探讨了该种现象的原因,同时为进一步研究词汇连接特征,成因,以及提高学生词汇连接水平提供了建议。
