【摘要】：大学英语写作语篇的研究多数针对应试作文或者课后作业进行分析,而本研究主要对英语专业学生毕业论文展开分析。本研究采用错误分析的研究方法,对来自5所大学(或学院)的46个毕业论文的错误进行了分析。根据本研究成果,这些毕业论文留给读者的基本印象是:中国英语专业学生没有达到应有的英语水平,不能写出高质量的毕业论文。他们没有具有足够的意识,对正式文体的特征把握不牢,用英语写作也缺乏牢固基础。英语专业学生毕业论文写作问题主要体现在以下方面: (1)中国英语专业学生对于英语和汉语的根本区别认识不深,这为他们用英文进行正式写作增加了困难。 (2)语法错误为最常见错误。用词不当和语句构成不合理是毕业论文写作两大最突出问题。 (3)关系错误(例如语篇指示语误用)为最严重的语篇类错误;毕业论文的正式语体没有得到足够重视;一些论文似乎直接翻译自汉语,给人留下中式英语的印象。但是写作质量相对较高的论文有以下几点共同特征:冠词和介词错误极少;较少出现语篇和语体错误。相反,质量较差的论文含有语法错误的比例偏高,语句的逻辑性偏差。研究发现,错误的根本原因是母语干扰以及两个文化的思维方式迥异;中国外语教学模式不适当和学习者缺少运用认知策略帮助提高外语学习的自主性,也是主要原因。
[Abstract]:Most of the studies in college English writing are focused on exam-oriented composition or after-school assignments, while this study focuses on the graduation thesis of English majors. In this study, error analysis was used to analyze 46 graduation papers from 5 universities (or colleges). According to the results of this study, the basic impression left by these graduation papers is that Chinese English majors do not achieve the required level of English and can not write high quality graduation papers. They are not conscious enough to grasp formal stylistic features and lack a solid foundation for writing in English. The main problems of English majors' thesis writing are as follows: (1) Chinese English majors do not have a deep understanding of the fundamental differences between English and Chinese. This makes it more difficult for them to write formally in English. (2) grammatical errors are the most common mistakes. Improper use of words and unreasonable construction of sentences are the two most prominent problems in the writing of graduation thesis. (3) errors in relation (such as the misuse of discourse deixis) are the most serious type errors in discourse, and the formal style of graduation thesis has not been paid enough attention to; Some papers seem to be translated directly from Chinese, leaving the impression of Chinglish. However, the relatively high writing quality of the thesis has the following common features: articles and preposition errors are few, and discourse and stylistic errors are less common. On the contrary, poor quality papers contain high percentage of grammatical errors and logical deviation of sentences. It is found that the root causes of the errors are the interference of mother tongue and the different modes of thinking between the two cultures, and the inappropriate foreign language teaching mode in China and the lack of cognitive strategies used by learners to help improve their autonomy in foreign language learning are also the main reasons.
