基于“看图口语叙述”任务的泰国留学生词汇多样性发展研究

On the Development of Lexical Diversity of Chinese L2 Learners from Thailand in Their Picture Description Activity

探索了不同汉语水平的泰国留学生在口头叙述中词汇多样性的发展趋势,并与母语者被试进行了对比。结果发现,随着汉语水平的提高,学习者的词汇多样性指标也在不断升高,虽然初、中级汉语水平之间提升不多,但也可明显看出学习者的汉语水平与词汇多样性呈正相关性;对学习者的名词和动词多样性的发展做了对比性的研究,发现随着学习者语言水平的提高,名词的发展趋势平缓,而动词的增长幅度较大。基于此,我们对汉语作为第二语言的词汇教学提出了一些建议。

This paper explores the development trend of lexical diversity in oral narrative by Chinese L2 learners from Thailand. After dividing these learners into three groups according to their Chinese level, the paper compares the L2 learners with Chinese native speakers. The results show that with the development of the level in Chinese, the index of the lexieal diversity is rising. Although the differences between primary and intermediate learners is not significant, it can be obviously found that learners＇ language level is positively correlated with their lexieal diversity. In addition, a contrastive analysis of the diversity between noun and verb is also carried out. It was found that with the development of the level in Chinese, the rise of the noun is modest, while the growing rate of the verb is very high. Based on this, we make some suggestions for the L2 lexieal teaching.
