摘要

本研究调查了中国英语学习者对环境、要求和意义的使用情况，这三个具有挑战性的词分别是同义词集中的一员：情况在事例/环境/事件/情景集中，要求在提问/要求/要求集中，意义在重要/有意义/意义集中。通过对温、王、梁（2005）《中国学习者英语口语和书面语语料库》中三个词的所有用法进行专家评分和仔细检查，本研究发现了三个词中的各种不当用法以及成功习得的用法。研究结果表明，许多中国英语学习者未能理解这三个词与其同义词的语义用法差异。该研究还发现，母语干扰、词典中对这些单词的描述不足以及对同义词之间语义用法差异的教学关注不足可能是学习者使用不当的原因。还讨论了教育学和研究意义。

A corpus study of Chinese EFL learners’ use of circumstance, demand, and significant

This study investigated Chinese EFL learners’ use of circumstance, demand, and significant, three challenging words each being a member in a synonym set: circumstance in the case/circumstance/event/situation set, demand in the ask/demand/request/require set, and significant in the important/meaningful/significant set. Via an expert rating and a close examination of all the uses of the three words in Wen, Wang, and Liang’s (2005) Spoken and Written English Corpus of Chinese Learners, the study has uncovered various inappropriate usages as well as successfully acquired usages involving the three words. The results reveal a failure by many Chinese EFL learners to understand the three words’ semantic usage differences with their respective synonyms. The study has also identified L1 interference, inadequate descriptions of these words in dictionaries, and insufficient instructional attention to the semantic usage differences among synonyms as likely reasons for the learners’ inappropriate usages. Pedagogical and research implications are also discussed.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
