【摘要】：写作水平是考核外语学习者语言能力的重要指标。写作语言的复杂性、准确性和流利性是衡量学习者语言发展水平的标准。本研究聚焦于书面语的产出的复杂性。语言复杂性往往从句法和词汇方面来进行考察。近年来,写作复杂性的研究逐渐增多。一些研究采用纵向跟踪法探讨了学习者在不同的语言发展阶段的写作特征或不同水平的写作特征。有些研究者采用横断方法考察不同水平学习者的群体的写作特征。本研究从句法和词汇方面来进行横向地考察英语专业学生书面语的的产出复杂性。本研究基于动态系统理论,以说明文为体裁调查分析了英语专业三个年级的作文中的句法复杂性和词汇复杂性。主要探讨了以下几个问题:(1)英语专业1-3年级学生书面语在句法复杂性方面呈现什么样的特征?(2)英语专业1-3年级的学生书面语在词汇复杂性方面呈现什么样的特征?(3)学习者的语言复杂性写作成绩有什么关系?本文收集了江西师某大学英语专业一、二、三年级每班30篇作文,共90篇作文。考察了句法复杂性的四个指标:子句长度(W/C)、复杂名词性结构(CN/C)、T单位复杂比率(C/T)、和从属子句比例(DC/C);词汇复杂度指标:词汇多样性(词类与二倍单词量的平方根之比)和词频概貌(LEP)。本研究的发现主要有以下3个方面:(1)从一年级到三年级,学生写作中的句法复杂性呈现增长的趋势。但是子句密度的两个指标(C/T,DC/C)在二年级阶段发展相对缓慢。(2)词汇进步不大,特别是词频概貌的发展呈现非线性的趋势。这表明学生在写作的过程中多依赖高频词汇。(3)句法复杂性与作文成绩呈显著正相关:词汇多样性与写作成绩也呈正相关,但词频概貌与写作质量之间没有相关性。本调查的结果及发现对英语写作教学有如下教学启示:(1)大学英语写作教师可以利用学生句法复杂性的发展特点,有针对性对不同年级采用不同的教学方法。(2)教师和学生都要意识到语言复杂性的重要性。在重视准确性、流利性的同时,复杂性也不可忽视。(3)英语专业学生过多地使用高频词的现状需要改变。老师可以尝试多种教学方法,如鼓励学生在写作上多加注意词汇的变化、或在课堂上例文分析含有高级词汇的文本的范文,或是通过阅读附带地习得高级词汇以扩大学生的产出性词汇的储备和词汇的选择范围,逐渐降低对常用词的过度依赖。
[Abstract]:Writing level is an important index to assess the language ability of foreign language learners. The complexity, accuracy and fluency of writing language are the criteria to measure learners' language development level. This study focuses on the complexity of the output of written language. Language complexity is often investigated from syntactic and lexical aspects. In recent years, the study of writing complexity has gradually increased. Some studies use longitudinal tracking method to explore learners' writing characteristics at different stages of language development or at different levels of writing. Some researchers use crosscutting method to investigate the writing characteristics of different levels of learners. This study examines the output complexity of written language of English majors horizontally from syntactic and lexical aspects. Based on the dynamic system theory, this study investigates and analyzes the syntactic complexity and lexical complexity in the compositions of the three grades of English majors with illustrative text as the genre. This paper mainly discusses the following problems: (1) what are the characteristics of written language in syntactic complexity of students majoring in English major 1 / 3? (2) the lexical complexity of written language of students majoring in English major 1 / 3. What are the characteristics of language complexity writing? (3) what is the relationship between learners' writing scores of language complexity? This paper collects 30 essays of Grade 1, Grade 2 and Grade 3 of English majors in Jiangxi Province, with a total of 90 essays. Four indexes of syntactic complexity are investigated: clause length (W 鈮，
