中高级水平留学生口语中“然后”的使用情况研究

A study on the use of"Ranhou"in spoken Chinese of intermediate-and-advanced foreign students

以自建的中高级水平留学生汉语口语语料库为基础,分析"然后"在110位留学生口语中的类别和功能,旨在通过对"然后"使用情况的研究,发现留学生口语表达连贯性方面的问题,为提高留学生汉语篇连贯能力提供建议。研究发现,"然后"在中高级水平留学生口语中同时充当连词和话语标记。充当连词时,"然后"的使用范围扩大,在标示时空关系的基础上,还可标示补充、因果、转折等多种语义关系。充当话语标记时,"然后"主要起接续话语的作用,同时具有设立子话题、转移话题的功能,并且具有成为口头禅的倾向。"然后"的使用情况表明了当前留学生口语语篇连贯能力的欠缺。

Based on self-built spoken Chinese corpus of intermediate-and-advanced foreign students,this study aims to analyze the using-ways and functions of"Ranhou"of 110 foreign students,with a purpose of identifying their problems in spoken Chinese coherence and give suggestions on improving their Chinese discourse coherence ability.The results show that"Ranhou"is used by intermediate-and-advanced foreign students as both conjunction and discourse marker colloquially.Being used as a conjunction,it has a large scope,indicating various semantic relationships such as time-and-space,complemental,causal,and adversative.Being used as a discourse marker,it mainly plays a role of setting up sub-topics,transferring topics and succeeding words,and has a tendency to become pet phrase.The use of"Ranhou"indicates that foreign students are poor in spoken discourse coherence currently.
