论时间词“现在”的语篇功能——兼谈对外汉语语篇教学

On Discourse Functions of the Chinese Temporal Word “Xianzai”

"现在"是一个使用率非常高的时间词,在书面语和口语中的基本语法意义清晰,在语篇中的衔接、对比和背景功能也突出,但在汉语本体和中介语中,"现在"的使用经常出现偏误。因此,在对外汉语教学中,我们必须重视等级篇章教学意识,进一步强化篇章衔接概念的介绍,从而提高学生组织各种篇章的能力。

＂Xianzai＂ is a frequently used temporal word whose basic grammatical meaning is clear both in writing and speaking, and its functions in discourse cohesion, contrast and background are quite strong, how- ever, and it is often misused in Chinese language and interlanguages. Thus, the awareness of the level of the discourse should be paid attention to in the teaching of Chinese as a foreign language so as to improve the students＇ aptitude in their writing.
