A Review of Corpus-based English Vocabulary Research in China in the Last Decade

通过对10年来(2004-2013年)发表于国内10种CSSCI外语类来源期刊上的相关文章进行检索、分类与统计分析,我们发现:(1)国内基于语料库的英语词汇研究总量呈明显上升趋势;2004-2007年为起步阶段,研究数量增长迅速;2008-2013年研究数量基本上呈高数值上升。(2)研究不仅涵盖实义词和功能词等微观方面,同时也辐射词块搭配、词汇综合特征、词汇教学等宏观方面。(3)10年来基于语料库的英语词汇研究取得了丰硕成果,但也存在不足。本文最后从研究内容、研究对象、研究材料、研究视角等方面对该领域的研究前景进行思考和展望,以期推动国内基于语料库的词汇研究的发展。
