On “De” Of HSK:A Perspective From Prosodic Grammar

Research on De lasted over half a century. Most of them are based on semantics, syntax and grammar,except for prosody. In Chinese, a standard morpheme is monosyllable, while a standard foot is disyllable, which claims the necessity of research on prosodic grammar. It lies in the relations of interaction between prosody and syntax, solving problems that syntax can’t do. Besides, researchers have burned energy on noumenon studies, overlooking its practical application — like error analysis on foreign students. In this thesis, we are trying to do prosodic-grammar research on the error using of De. According to cases of “extra”and “missing”, I divide the error into 3 patterns — errors of the combination of syllables, errors of stress in sentences, errors of the rhythms. Then focus on different group of error analysis in HSK dynamic composition and do a count, finding out the emphasis and difficulties for foreign students to learn, coming up with its teaching suggestions.The first chapter is the introduction of the paper, includes the contents,the significance, current situation and the study methods.In the second chapter, I give the definition and classification of prosody. And introduce some relevant theory of foot direction,combination of syllables, stress, and rhythms, which are required for following study. Also further summarize the prosodic-grammar rules of occurrence on De.The third chapter mainly reports the statistic results of the corpus and display the specific process of error analysis. It still explains the results and explores its causes in order to avoid the errors.Last but not least, in view of its causes and the learning emphasis,throw out a suggestion on teaching of De.
