中国英语专业大学生与本族语学生写作中比较级使用对比研究

摘要

本研究基于中国英语专业英语笔语语料库(WECCL)和英美大学生作文语料库(LOCNESS)，将比较级的形式分为分析式、综合式以及不规则形式三类，研究中国英语专业大学生写作中比较级使用的情况。旨在揭示中国英语专业学习者在书面表达中比较级使用特点和存在的问题，帮助英语专业学生了解自己在比较级使用上与本族语者的差距，从而更好理解和掌握比较级的用法。
　　研究结果表明:中国英语学习者和本族语学生在比较级的使用方面存在明显差异。综合式的比较级在本族语学生的作文中使用的频率更高;中国英语专业大学生在写作中更多采用分析式比较级，过度使用more important，more popular等搭配，相比而言，本族语者使用这一形式比较级更为多样化;不规则比较级more和better在中国英语专业大学生的作文中出现频率最高;中国英语学习者在写作中有比较级误用的情况，其中more+adj（单音节形容词）使用错误的频率最高。
　　研究发现，中国英语专业大学生对英语语法和词义含义了解不足以及母语迁移是造成比较级使用差异和问题的重要原因。
