Scholars have done a lot of research on the Chinese learning and teaching of Chinese as a foreign language.The author found that although these studies can be carried out on one aspect of the Chinese learning of foreign students,and proposed ways to promote the Chinese learning of foreign students.At present,however,Chinese scholars have not examined the problem of communicative adjustment between native Chinese speakers and Chinese learners.However,the mechanism,strategies,influencing factors and functions of communicative adjustment not only help us to understand the working mechanism of Chinese native speakers' dialogue with foreign students,but also help us to adopt appropriate adjustment levels and adjustment strategies to promote the dialogue between Chinese native speakers and Chinese learners and improve the oral communication ability of Chinese learners.This study focuses on quantitative analysis,supplemented by qualitative analysis,to analyze whether and how communicative adjustment occurs,the influencing factors,adjustment strategies,and the role of adjustment.In view of the difference between the experimental study and the investigation study,the sample size will not have a significant effect on the validity of the experimental results.In this study,90 Chinese native speakers and 70 Chinese students were selected to participate in four sub-topics and conducted 9 experiments.In anticipation of the following research objectives:Firstly,through a comparative analysis of the data of "dialogue and exchange between native Chinese speakers under natural conditions" and "dialogue and exchange between native Chinese speakers and Chinese learners under natural conditions",this paper studies whether Chinese native speakers adjust the syntactic complexity and fluency of Chinese learners? Secondly,through the comparative analysis of data on "dialogue and communication between native Chinese speakers in high and low difficulty situations" and "dialogue and communication between native Chinese speakers and Chinese learners in high and low difficulty situations",this paper studies whether native speakers and learners of Chinese have communicative adjustment when talking about different difficulty topics.If all of them are communicative,are there any differences in syntactic complexity and fluency when talking on different topics of difficulty? Thirdly,through comparative analysis of "the use of Chinese language learners in the process of dialogue without feedback","the use of Chinese language learners in the process of dialogue under the condition of positive feedback" and "the use of Chinese language learners in the process of dialogue under the condition of negative feedback",this paper studies whether the type of feedback of Chinese native speakers in dialogue will affect the communicative adjustment of Chinese learners in dialogue? Fourthly,through the "non-communicative adjustment of Chinese learners on the meaning of idioms" and "communicative adjustment on the Chinese learners on the meaning of idioms" data comparison analysis,does the study of communicative adjustment promote the understanding of Chinese idioms and idioms by foreign students? Fifthly,through the above experiment summary study,do Chinese native speakers adopted the communicative adjustment strategies? In order to achieve the goal,this article elaborates from the following angles:Chapter 1,Introduction.Firstly,the paper summarizes the reasons,research objectives A bstractand research significance of this thesis.Then,the theoretical background of this thesis is explained systematically.Secondly,this paper introduces the research contents,experimental design and Corpus processing methods.Finally,the general framework of this thesis is briefly analyzed.Chapter 2,Literature review.Firstly,the author combs and comments on the conversational analysis between native speakers and foreign language learners and the spoken Chinese studies of Chinese students studying in China.Then,starting with the theoretical connotation,the basis of social psychology and the communicative adjustment in the actual context,This paper reviews the communication regulation of young people and elderly people,adults and children,foreign language learners and native speakers,and foreign students and native speakers.Chapter 3,The study of communicative adjustment strategies in the dialogue between native Chinese speakers and Chinese students.Firstly,this paper introduces the research methods,including subjects,experimental materials,experimental process,and recording transfer and analysis methods.Then we show the experiment 1 "Dialogue and exchange between native Chinese speakers under natural conditions",experiment 2 "Dialogue and exchange between native Chinese speakers and foreign students in China under natural conditions" and experiment 1 and 2 on the use of three communicative adjustment strategies by native Chinese speakers.Experimental results.Finally,through the analysis of the results,it is concluded that the native speakers of Chinese language perform communicative adjustment during the dialogue with foreign students in China.The native speakers of Chinese language have significantly reduced the syntactic complexity and fluency and used communicative adjustment strategies.Chapter 4,The influence of task difficulty on the communicative adjustment of native Chinese speakers.Firstly,this paper introduces the research methods,including subjects,experimental materials,experimental process,and recording transfer and analysis methods.Then,the experimental results of experiment 3,"Dialogue and communication between native Chinese speakers in high and low difficulty situations," and experiment 4,"Dialogue and exchange between native Chinese speakers and Chinese students in high and low difficulty situations." Finally,through the analysis of the results,it is concluded that Chinese native speakers and foreign students in China carry out communicative adjustment when conducting dialogues on different topics of difficulty.With the increasing difficulty,Chinese native speakers significantly reduce the syntactic complexity and fluency of their language.degree.Chapter 5,The influence of feedback type on the communicative adjustment of foreign students in China.Firstly,this paper introduces the research methods,including subjects,experimental materials,experimental process,and recording transfer and analysis methods.And then,The experiment 5: "The use of communication adjustment in the process of dialogue without feedback",experiment 6: "The use of communication adjustment in the process of dialogue under the positive feedback conditions" and experiment 7: "The negative feedback conditions of Chinese students studying in China under the conditions of The experimental results of the use of communicative adjustment during the dialogue.Finally,through the analysis of the results,it is concluded that the degree of convergence adjustment carried out by Chinese students in China is affected by the type of feedback,that is,positive feedback will enhance the use strategy of convergence adjustment for Chinese students.Negative feedback will reduce the use of convergent adjustment strategies for Chinese students.Chapter 6,The influence of the communicative adjustment of native Chinese speakers on the understanding of the meaning of Chinese students.Firstly,this paper introduces the research methods,including subjects,experimental materials,experimental process,and recording transfer and analysis methods.Then,the experimental results of experiment 8,"level of understanding of the meaning of idioms by foreign students in China under non-communicative adjustment" and experiment 9,"level of understanding of the meaning of idioms by foreign students in China after communicative adjustment" are presented.Finally,through the analysis of the results of the conclusion: the initiative to reduce the speed of language and growth stopped immediately long,the international students in China can better understand the meaning of Chinese idioms.Chapter 7,Conclusion.First of all,the research of this paper is generally discussed.Then,the paper summarizes the main research results;Finally,the paper points out the lack of research and future research direction.
