基于语料库的英语专业写作中因果连接词的使用研究

论文摘要

本文旨在研究中国英语专业学生写作中因果连接词的使用情况。在本研究中，作者以哈尔滨工程大学79名英语专业本科生第1-6学期的学期考试作文为研究语料，参照英语本族语者笔语库，对中国英语专业学生因果连接词的使用进行了定量和定性的分析。分析结果表明：中国英语专业学生在因果连接词的使用上相比英语本族语者存在使用频率高而丰富度低的现象，并在使用位置和形式上有很大差异，同时还伴随着与因果连接词相关的多种误用情况；随着学年的升高，中国英语专业学生在因果连接词的使用上会更加接近本族语。此外，本文探讨了造成这些结果的原因，并对因果连接词的学习和教学提出了几点建议。
