中国学习者英语书面语多词动词特征研究--基于语料库的方法

摘要

According to the viewpoints proposed by Biber et al in 1999, 144 multi-word verbs are analyzed, which are frequently used by China's learners of English in their written English, and meantime some multi-word verbs are extracted from the corpus for China's learners of English and also from the national corpus of Britain. A contrastive research method is applied to compare the two groups of verbs. As a result, there exist obvious differences in the application of the two groups of multi-word verbs: China's learners of English have a low tendency in using those verbs, and tend to use the verbs with simpler grammatical structures.%根据Biber等人(1999)提出的研究框架，对中国学习者使用英语中频率最高的141个多词动词的情况进行调查分析。分别从中国英语学习者语料库和英国国家语料库的采样中提取出多词动词，并采取中介语对比研究的方法对两组数据进行对比。研究结果表明，两组所得多词动词分布模式存在显著性差异。与英语母语者相比，中国学习者英语多词动词的使用总体偏低，并且倾向于过多使用语法结构相对简单的多词动词。
