中国英语学习者书面语中推导性话语标记语使用情况调查——一项基于语料库的研究

An Investigation of Inferential Discourse Markers in Chinese EFL Learners' Written English——A Corpus-based Research

通过语料库文本分析的方式,把中国英语学习者(英语专业学生)书面语中推导性话语标记语的使用情况和英语本族语者使用情况进行对比。结果显示,(1)中国英语学习者书面语中推导性话语标记语的使用存在严重的过多和过少使用并存现象,且呈简单化、口语化倾向;(2)推导性标记语使用水平会随着学习者语言水平的提高而有所提高,但个别推导性标记语的使用具有语用"石化"特征。

This study adopts a corpus-based approach to investigate the acquisition of inferential discourse markers in Chinese EFL Learners＇ Written English.It turned out that 1） both overuse and underuse of inferential discourse markers are co-existing among Chinese EFL learners,and their usage is characterized by oversimplification and oralization.2） with the improvement of learners＇ language ability,the using frequency of inferential markers can be improved greatly.But there still exists some pragmatic ＇fossilization＇.
