基于语料库对英语专业八级作文中副词性衔接语的研究

论文摘要

英语中的衔接手段有多种,副词性衔接语是其中一种常见的衔接手段。本文以语料库为基础,采用定量与定性分析相结合的研究方法,旨在分析作文中副词性衔接语的分布情况和使用特点。通过利用AntConc和SPSS等统计分析软件,对英语专业语料库（CEM）八级考试（TEM-8）写作部分和本族语者语料库（LOCNESS）中所使用的副词性衔接语的分布情况进行了统计分析。研究发现,首先,英语专业学生与本族语者最常使用的前15个高频副词性衔接语在其总体出现频率中占有较大比重。其次,英语专业学生在八级考试写作部分中使用副词性衔接语的频率高于本族语者,并存在显著性差异。再次,英语专业学生过度使用列举、结果／推论、总结和同位这四类副词性衔接语。此外,英语专业学生在各大类中过多使用一些副词性衔接语,过少使用情况较少,并存在四类错用副词性衔接语的情况。最后,英语专业学生过度使用非正式文体的副词性衔接语so,正式文体的副词性衔接语therefore, thus使用不足,说明学生的英文写作中存在口语化倾向。总之,对英语专业学生在八级作文写作部分中副词性衔接语的研究有助于加深文章中衔接手段的理解,对今后的英语专业写作教学具有一定的指导意义。
