European And American Students Of Chinese According To The Class Of Prepositional Acquisition Order

This article is based on the method of cross-sectional studies; this paper makes a comprehensive and systematic analysis on the CSL acquisition of 8 preposition indicating manner structures in the Chinese language. We examined 45 students who come from American, Europe and Australia studying Chinese.According to the result of the tests, we use different statistical method to examine. We found an objective acquisition order and an subjective acquisition order of all the 8 preposition structures,then for getting a relatively stable order, we divided the acquisition order into 3 acquisition hierarchies separately. Through the analysis of statistical method, we found that there is no relation between the objective acquisition order and the subjective acquisition order; therefore, the teacher can't judge the objective acquisition order according to the subjective acquisition order.Besides, we made an analysis of language errors which were showed in the test papers. We summed up the characters of the acquisition process including junior, inter-mediate and senior three levels.
