The Acquisition Of The Chinese Word "Ziji" By The Students Whose Mother Tongue Is Russian

In China and abroad, many experts have done research about the Chinese word "ziji" and many results have been achieved, most of which, however, have focused on the explanation of the long distance binding of the word. Based on the linguistic research of the word "ziji", this paper investigates and analyses the acquisition of the Chinese word "ziji" by the students whose mother tongue is Russian to serve the Chinese teaching. Through researching databases and questionnaire, this paper simulates the acquisition order of the word "ziji", which is the sixth usage> the seventh usage> the first usage> the fifth usage> the second usage> the third usage> the fourth usage. In other words, the students whose mother tongue is Russian firstly acquire the sixth usage, then the seventh usage and the first usage, and next is the fifth usage. Finally the students acquire the second usage, the third usage and the fourth usage. It is so difficult to acquire the second usage, the third usage and the fourth usage that the acquisition is more slowly. At the same time, we find that the students whose mother tongue is Russian have the consciousness to accept the long distance binding of "ziji" and as their Chinese becomes more proficient, they will tend to select subject over object as the antecedent of "ziji". As a result, in teaching, we should adhere to the acquisition order, strengthen the consciousness that "ziji" is a long distance reflexive and make clear that "ziji" chooses subjects as antecedents.
