从模因论视角看英语口语教学中的预制语块输入

On the Input of Prefabricated Chunks in Oral English Teaching——from the Perspective of Memetics

模因论是解释文化进化规律的新理论。模因与语言关系密切。语言是模因的载体,模因本身靠语言复制和传播,语言本身就是模因,它可以在字、词、句乃至篇章层面上表现出来。预制语块是形式上具有固定性、语义上具有预制特征的多词结构,作为模因的一个表现层面,它的成功习得对于提高口语的流利表达、地道表达和创造性表达具有重要意义。语言模因的传播规律启示我们在口语教学中教师应该强化预制语块概念,精心选择输入材料,采用多种教学手段,阅读口语结合,听力口语并举,使学生能创造性地使用习得的语块,实现真正意义上的交际。

Memetics is a new theory to explain the law of cultural evaluation. Meme has a close relationship with language, and is carried, reproduced and transmitted by language. Language itself is meme, which can be presented at lexical, syntactical and discourse levels. Prefabricated chunk, as a multi-lexical structure, is stable in form and prefabricated in meaning. And also as a level to present meme, it is significant in improving oral ability. It is enlightened that the concept of prefabricated chunk should be strengthened and multiple teaching methods adopted so that the students can use the acquired chunks to communicate smoothly, correctly, and creatively.
