| This paper selected the response functions of the Chinese responsive words "shi, dui, hao, xing " as the studying contents, categorized them based on the former study and discussed the similar one carefully, and finally concluded the discourse conditions in using the four responsive words. The questionnaire was designed based on these studies, and it was for international students from Nanjing Normal University, who were divided into three groups (primary, junior, senior) according to the length of schooling, in order to investigate and study the international students’using of Chinese responsive words. The data from statistics of questionnaire described the situation of using responsive words, and the collected subjective items from the questionnaire was essential for discovering the subjective factor in responsive words using. The data analysis showed that the senior students performed the best, junior students performed unstably, and the primary students performed the worst. From the general view, there were both gain and loss in international students’using of seven types of response functions, they were familiar with the positive response function, the rate of correctness was relatively high; and they felt strange to the negative response function so that the rate of correctness was very low.In order to reveal the cause of different situation of using response words, we did a statistics in the textbooks international students used, adding up the occurrence number and order. In addition, we analyzed and compared the response functions in "yes" and "shi, dui, hao, xing", and we also interviewed the international students who hold English as their mother tongue. The result showed that textbooks and mother tongue are both factors influenced the using of responsive words, but they are not the only factor. Based on the study talked above, we made some suggestions for the textbook design and classroom teaching, and at last, we analyzed the limitation of this paper. |
