Analysis On Locative Particles Of Modern Chinese Applied To Chinese International Teaching

The locative particle is a kind of lexicon with a high value of analysis. This paper will provide a new way of defining the range of the locative particle and illustrating its character on the aspects of pronunciation, syntactic and semantic. Otherwise, the analysis of locative particles within the area of Second Language Acquisition (abbreviated as SLA) will also broaden its road of teaching in Chinese international Education.At present, the analysis on locative particles is far from enough, most of which remain to the description from a specific angle. As a result, it lacks system and isolates the specific character from other characters. The comparison between Chinese and English is also confined to the only one point of cognition, which excludes Chinese from the typology area. Meanwhile, the analysis on locative particles of SLA is limited to the brief separation of error type. The relevant theory isn’t applied to practical teaching.This paper will analyze the characters of locative particles from three points: pronunciation, syntactic and semantic to confirm the separation standard. By contrasting Chinese and English, different ways of expressing space concept will be analyzed, which will give the exceptional support of specific language for "Interface Hypothesis". By analyzing the situation of native English speakers in SLA, rules of SLA will be researched, which gives a overall planning for compiling textbooks of Chinese International Education and provides some suggestions for classroom teaching to foreign students. Specific contents are as follows.Chapter One concluded the research progress and deficiency in the areas of ontology, comparative study and Second Language Acquisition. Further, it illustrates the content, research methods and significance of the paper.Chapter Two respectively described the division and characters of locative particles from three aspects of pronunciation, syntactic and semantic. From the point of pronunciation, modern locative particles are divided into monosyllabic locative particles and disyllabic locative particles. Monosyllabic locative particles are non-independent in pronunciation form, with the rhythm dependence. Disyllabic locative particles can be used alone, without the front noun phrases. Rhythm has a great influence on the appearance of locative particles. Non-definite noun phrases after "Zai" must be monosyllabic. From the point of syntactic, modern Chinese locative particles can be divided locative nouns, locative combing forms and locative postposition. From the point of semantic, except for space concept. Locative particles can also be used to express time, scope, degree and so on. Usually, disyllabic locative particles have the meaning of high stability, which comparatively have less extended meaning.Chapter Three analyzed the difference between English and Chinese from five angles:character and trans-class words; order and ambiguity; division scope; omit. Space preposition in English is originated from adverbs. Which locative particles in Chinese come from nouns? Space preposition in English can be divided into three parts:combining prepositions; collocated prepositions; phrase prepositions. There exists a large number of trans-class of space preposition. Usually, preposition phrases are located after main verbs and its scope division is more specific, under which, the same space concept can be expressed by different preposition. Meanwhile, space preposition can be displaced. By contrast, there exist less trans-class words in Chinese locative particles. And locative particles phrases must be put before the main verb. The scope division is comparatively rough. Definite locative words can be used without locative particles; locative particles are optional for common locative words; common nouns must be used with locative particles to express space concept.Chapter Four, first of all, analyzed the circumstance of SLA in HSK, which can help us to basically learn the key and difficult points over locative particles. For which words, students can’t study well. For which words, students tend to avoid applying. Second, a questionnaire was used to discover the output of students, which can provide a material support for ontology research from the point of practice.Chapter Five analyzed the setting of locative particles in the outline and textbooks. The first part one by one, searched all the locative particles in the outline, which is separated into universal level, middle level, senior level and senior appendix. Compared with the outline, the second part described the setting of locative particles in <Developing Chinese>, which divided into junior, middle, senior level with the amount of six books. Considered for better SLA of locative particles, some suggestions were put forward to consummate the outline and textbooks. Besides, advice on class teaching of locative particles was provided as well.Chapter Six concluded the whole paper and gave the direction of following research. Meanwhile, some deficiency and limit were illustrated within as well.
