中国大学生英语时体否定表达习得研究

Chinese College Students' Acquisition of the Tense/Aspect-Related Negative Expressions

通过语料库对比定量分析中国学习者写作中时体否定表达的使用特点。同时,定性分析中国学习者使用的典型时体否定表达的主要功能。结果发现,学习者使用不同类型的否定表达和本族语者在总体趋势上一致,但在单个否定表达使用频数上大都存在显著差异;在各种否定表达中,他们和本族语者也存在相似之处,主要选用一般现在时和一般过去时。但是,在使用一般现在时和一般过去时否定表达的各种不同功能中,学习者使用的句式单调,具有很强的主观性,缺乏充分的论据支持和严密的推理过程。

By comparing data from NNS and NS, this paper attempts to investigate the use of aspect/tense-related negative expressions in Chinese written language. Meanwhile, the typical use of negation is categorized on the basis of their different functions. The results indicate that in general terms Chinese college students show similar trend with native speakers in the use of different negative expressions, but there are significant differences in the use of the single ones. And in terms of negation, Chinese learners display similar preferences with native speakers in the simple present and the simple past. When it comes to the functions of those expressions, however, Chinese learners tend to use simple and tedious sentence structure to show their subjective opinion, lacking sufficient and well-organized details and reasons.
