论文摘要
随着中国近几年经济突飞猛进的发展和在国际社会中扮演越来越重要的角色,作为当今世界上主要国际通用语言之一的英语在中国的被普及和接受的程度越来越高,生活在不同阶层的中国人都涌向了学英语的热潮,英语俨然已成为时下中国人的“宠儿”。人们以能够用英语和外国人交流而感到自豪。英语作为一个桥梁,以另一种方式向外国客人打开了展现了中国风彩的大门,促进了不同国家之间的交流,提升了中国在国际社会中的地位和形象。然而在这种交流过程中,经常会出现一种让英语本族语者感到不适的“外国腔儿”,中国英语学习者在使用英语时,语法和句法方面没有失误,但是在使用一些单词时会犯一些语用错误。因此教育者们应十分重视英语单词与语法之间的的微妙联系。而语义韵正是看似不相关的词汇与语法之间的桥梁和纽带。语义韵是当代语料库语言学中一个重要研究对象,其作为一个热门研究课题正在吸引越来越多研究者的兴趣。语义韵是一种特殊的搭配现象,展示的是词语搭配的特殊行为,一般分为积极语义韵、消极语义韵和中性语义韵。EFL学习者语言中的词语搭配行为历来是二语研究中的重点对象。本研究将研究重点放在EFL学习者语义韵意识的研究。本研究通过对cause和lead to的语义韵研究和所选搭配词的使用百分比的对比分析,分析研究不同英语水平的EFL学习者语义韵意识变化,对今后中国EFL教学提出建议。整个研究过程应用了基于语料库的方法和调查试卷的方法,从而使得研究结果更加客观和准确。研究发现,总体上不同水平的英语学习者的语义韵意识确实有不同,随着英语水平的提高,学习者的语义韵意识会更加清晰。即便如此,二语教学和学习过程中搭配的缺陷仍不可以忽略。除此之外,作者针对中国英语教学中出现的语义韵问题提出了解决措施。
