Abstract

Abstract This study investigates the developmental features of lexical richness in Chinese compositions by Cambodian native speakers (n = 40) and the relationship between lexical richness and writing quality in Chinese Second Language (CSL) writing from three dimensions of lexical variation, lexical sophistication and lexical error rate.The results show that with the improvement of Chinese level, there are notable increases in lexical variation (p = 0.000 < 0.05) and lexical sophistication (p = 0.000 < 0.05). As for lexical errors, the overall lexical error rate is decreasing. Among which, the form error rate is decreasing obviously (p = 0.000 < 0.05), while the usage error rate is increasing, but not significantly (p = 0.039 > 0.005). Multiple regression analysis shows that lexical sophistication and lexical error rate are more closely related to CSL writing quality, which can predict writing quality well, while lexical variation has less impact on writing quality.

汉语第二语言写作词汇丰富性发展:基于柬埔寨汉语学习者的实证研究

摘要本研究从词汇变异、词汇复杂度和词汇错误率三个维度考察了40名柬埔寨语母语者汉语作文词汇丰富度的发展特征，以及词汇丰富度与汉语第二语言写作质量的关系。结果表明，随着汉语水平的提高，词汇变异显著增加(p = 0.000 < 0.05)，词汇复杂程度显著增加(p = 0.000 < 0.05)。在词汇错误方面，总体词汇错误率呈下降趋势。其中，表单错误率呈明显下降趋势(p = 0.000 < 0.05)，使用错误率呈上升趋势，但不显著(p = 0.039 bb0 0.005)。多元回归分析表明，词汇复杂度和词汇错误率与对外汉语写作质量的关系更为密切，可以很好地预测写作质量，而词汇变异对写作质量的影响较小。

期刊介绍： Chinese as a Second Language Research (CASLAR) focuses on research on the acquisition, development, and use of Chinese as a Second Language. It supports scholars and researchers from different linguistic fields, and serves as a forum to discuss, investigate, and better understand Chinese as a Second Language. Each issue (2 per year) of the journal publishes three papers in Chinese and three papers in English; summaries are always provided both in Chinese and English. We are especially interested in publishing articles and research papers that investigate how empirical findings of CSL research can advance and develop better Chinese language teaching methodologies, explore the implications of CSL research for theoretical developments and practical applications, focus on the acquisition and use of varieties of CSL, study the nature of interaction between native speakers and non-native speakers of Chinese, address major issues of second language acquisition from the perspective of CSL, analyze the ways in which language is both shaped by culture and is the medium through which culture is created.
