论语料库在外语教材编撰中的应用

Use of Corpora in Textbook-making

本文列举实例,探讨了外语教材编撰过程中,语料库能够起到的重要应用。本族语语料库不仅清楚地呈现了目标语言中词汇、语法项目的不对称分布等特征,而且提供了词语搭配、语义韵、呼应关系等方面的丰富信息。学习者语料库则较为准确地反映了学习者的习得状况。通过有的放矢地对存在过度使用或习得困难趋势的项目加以抑制或强化,能够帮助学习者在内部构建更为准确、完善的目标语言体系。

This paper provides examples to discuss the application of corpora in textbook-making. The native corpus shows us the asymmetry in distribution of vocabulary, grammar etc. in the target language. Also it provides us with valuable information about the collocation, semantic prosodies and the relationship of words etc. On the other hand, the learners＇ corpus reflects the status of the learner＇s language acquisition, from which we can find the overused or underused projects that should be targeted to inhibit or enhance in order to help the learners be more successful in mastering the target language.
