摘要
本研究基于30名英语专业学生从大一到大四4年中所写的120篇同题议论文,运用纵贯研究方法从读者/作者显现度、词汇密度和词频三个维度,探讨了二语写作口语化特征的历时发展变化。研究发现:学习者存在写作口语化倾向,并且随着学习者写作水平的提高,写作口语化特征没有呈现明显减弱趋势;二语写作中频繁使用第一人称代词表达观点;词汇密度不能准确反映二语学习者写作口语化特征;学习者在写作中过度使用常见高频词汇。
Based on a corpus of 120 argumentative English compositions on the same topic written by 30 Chinese English majors through their four-year study period, this study, from three dimensions of reader/writer visibility, lexical density and lexical frequency, explores the developmental fea-tures of colloquial style in English writing. The study finds that there exists colloquial style in students’ compositions with no obvious improvement between year-to-year changes. The first person pronouns are found to be frequently used by students. Lexical density cannot be employed to precisely measure colloquial style in English writing. High-frequency words are overused by students.
