英汉语词汇文化对比与大学英语教学

论文摘要

社会语言学认为，语言是文化的一部分，也是文化传递的载体，二者相互依存，密不可分。语言运用的能力不但取决于语法的准确性，而且在于能否将语言恰当地运用于特定的语境。也就是说，要想成功地学得一门语言就必须了解该语言的文化。 词汇，作为语言的基石，是语言的最基本要素。由于语言与文化的不可分性，词汇和语言同样密不可分。 根据近年来跨文化交际学和词汇教学方面的研究，本文指出了将文化教学引入词汇教学的必要性。这种结合体现在词汇文化的教学上，而词汇文化的教学可以采用对比分析的方法来教授。作者以语义学理论为基础，提出了词汇文化教学的必要性，以及将英语词汇文化的教学融入到大学英语教学之中的方法。
