大学英语写作中的中介语僵化现象研究

论文摘要

中介语僵化是二语习得和英语教学中亟待解决的一个问题。本文旨在研究非英语专业学生写作中的错误僵化现象,通过对中国矿业大学(北京)92名一年级(2006级)和二年级(2005级)土木专业本科生在英语写作过程中所犯的错误分析和对大一、大二两组英语学习者错误的比较,作者归纳出他们作文中的共同错误类型及频率。使用SPSS软件对数据进行分析,结果显示他们在错误频率上没有显著性差别,从而证实了中介语僵化现象存在的可能。本文尝试建立了一个非英语专业大学生的僵化错误模式,即学习者在词性、动词形式、拼写、用词及搭配方面存在明显的群体僵化现象。本文为研究中介语僵化提供了一项实证研究,在理论和实践方面有一定的借鉴作用。
