On The Vocabulary Teaching In TCFL From The Cognitive System Of Chinese Dissyllabic Compounds

Teaching Chinese as a foreign language(TCFL) is a newly arisen discipline. With the rapid development of our country’s comprehensive strength, a lot of attention has been paid to Chinese. Therefore, it is necessary to find better and more practical teaching method to improve the teaching quality. However, influenced by the western linguistics, the features of Chinese language are usually neglected, and there even exist some misconceptions about the division of emphasis and difficulty in the language teaching, and about the choice of teaching method. According to the appearance of Chinese two-syllable words, this thesis, which is based on the theory of cognitive linguistics, explores the distinguishing features of Chinese and the important position of Chinese dissyllabic compounds in the language, and thus points out the importance of cognitive psychology and the Chinese thinking modes in students’ second language acquisition. In the choice of research method, the author puts emphasis on semantics by classification and comparison. Cognitive linguistics is meaning-focused, so semantics plays an important role in this research, and also on the base of meaning, by means of classification and comparison, it is a way to analyze the features of Chinese and reach the conclusion. From the perspective of cognition combined with the analyzing the appearance of Chinese two-syllable words, cognitive linguistics is better than the previous linguistics in explanation and persuasion, and is a better guide to the research on Chinese itself and the teaching process of teaching Chinese as a foreign language.
