本研究基于语料库研究方法考察母语为英语的汉语学习者书面语语篇逻辑连接词的习得情况。研究结果表明,汉语学习者与本族语者相比,总体上显著过少使用逻辑连接词,主要为过少使用其中因果关系连接词;在具体连接类型上,在对等连接、对比连接上使用相当,但显著过多使用罗列连接和连贯连接,显著过少使用附加连接和选择连接;在研究的75个逻辑连接词中,显著过多使用8个连接词,显著过少使用7个连接词,完全没有使用其中18个连接词,只在42个连接词上使用频率与本族语者相当。

This research aims to explore the use of Chinese logical connectors in written discourse on the part of native English speakers by utilizing corpus linguistics methods. The results revealed that in terms of total frequency,there was significant difference between Chinese L2 learners and native speakers. However,learners significantly underused causal type connectors. As for the specific sub-types of logical connectors,learners significantly overused enumerating markers and contrastive markers,and significantly underused additive markers and conditional markers. Learners used only comparative markers and causal markers generally to a degree comparable with native speakers. Besides,Chinese L2 learners significantly overused eight logical connectors,underused seven logical connectors and didn't use 18 connectors,compared with native speakers of Chinese. Native English speakers used only 42 connectors generally to a degree comparable with native speakers.
