基于语料库的大学生议论文四词词块对比研究

Corpus-based Study on Four-word Lexical Bundles in College Students’ English Writing

本文基于CLE(大学英语学习者语料库)和LOCNESS(英语本族语语料库)大学生写作文本,运用语料库语言学的研究方法,具体对比分析了两个语料库中的四词词块的语用功能及结构特点。结果发现:两个语料库中,分句成分类词块最多,不完全词组次之,完整分句最少;中国英专学生的写作词块运用多受主题、记忆情况的影响,存在滥用、形式单一或运用不足的情况。针对以上问题,文章提出建议,希望能对英专学生的写作及英语写作教学有所裨益。

The current study refers to CLEC (College Learner English Corpus) as a learner corpus and LOCNESS (Louvain Corpus of Native English Essays) as a native corpus,employing corpus analysis methods for functional and structural analysis.Major findings can be summarized as follows: in structure,Chinese English majors use roughly the same three broad categories of lexical bundles as native speakers. In function,Chinese English learners use some of them in a relatively fixed way,they repeatedly use some limited collocations,or misuse them. Suggestions are provided based on the findings,hoping to shield light to Chinese English learners’ English writing and make a contribute to English writing teaching.
