PSC单字试题中语素字对测试目标的影响

Interferences of Morpheme Characters with PSC Examination

在PSC(普通话水平测试 )中 ,单字试题的出错率总是高于词语试题。本文为此作了一次随机调查 ,对调查材料的统计分析表明 ,单字试题中语素字的出错率大约是词字的 2倍。这是由于语素字在人们的日常口语和诵读中几乎从不单独说出 ,在没有上下文提示 ,即语素字不放在词语里的情况下 ,应试者容易误认和错认。这类错误的发生与普通话水平无关 。

The proportion of faults in Character Question is always higher than that in Words and Phrases Question in PSC(the Putonghua proficiency test). A random investigation demonstrates that the proportion of faults of morpheme characters doubles that of word characters in the Character Question. Single morpheme character is hardly heard in people's daily use of the language. As a result, the examinees are very likely to give wrong interpretations of the single morpheme character without the help of context. Such faults have nothing to do with the Putonghua proficiency of examinees. Hence the morpheme characters in test question interfere with the evaluation of an examinee's proficiency level.
