基于话题的词汇联想能力与英语写作成绩的相关性

摘要

摘要：对实验组进行了话题环境下的词汇联想策略教学，前测、后测显著性检验、相关性分析和拟合分析发现，词汇联想策略教学有助于提高受试的词汇联想能力和写作能力,词汇联想能力与写作成绩呈正相关。并尝试对话题下的词汇联想能力进行了定量描述，表明写作成绩与有效联想词汇运用数的相关度小于有效联想词汇总数的相关度。研究主张话题环境下的词汇联想能力反映了受试的隐喻／转喻能力。%A topic-based word association strategy teaching is applied to an experimental group. The significance test, correlation and data-fitting analyses show that word association strategy teaching facilitates students' word association ability and their writing achievement, meanwhile, the former demonstrates a positive correlation to the latter. This research further quantifies the model of the topic-based word association ability which indicates the writing achievement ties more closely to the effective responses total than to the number of effective responses used in writing. This study argues that topic-based word association ability projects metaphor/metonymy ability of subjects.
