A Study On The Biased Errors Of The Manner And Pursuant Preposition Based On The Chinese Inter-language Corpus

As an isolated language,Chinese lacks the morphological variations.Instead,function words and word order are main grammar means of Chinese language.Preposition,as a kind of function words,is one of the important subjects for Chinese ontology research,as well as the key and difficult point of the second language learners.As one of the subordinated subclass of prepositions,manner and pursuant prepositions have few internal differences in their grammar and semantics.And written language is more applied in the style,which are the words that Chinese learners often make mistakes in expression.This paper takes manner pursuant prepositions as the research objects,specifically selects 14 target words of “an,anzhao,ben,cong,genju,jianyu,ju,ping,tongguo,yi,yizhao,yi,you,zhao” and takes error examples in inter-language corpus for description and classification.The whole paper including the introduction is totally divided into four chapters:For the introduction part,it mainly describes the selection theories and practical meaning of this paper systematically,summarizes the related literature of error research of manner pursuant prepositions and research based on inter-language corpus base,introduces the research thinking and research methods of this paper,and compares domestic current open and representative three Chinese inter-language corpus from several aspects of corpus property,corpus label and corpus indexing,etc.In the first chapter,it defines the scope of target prepositions and makes statistics of the use quantity and error amount of target prepositions.After comparing the basic data of target preposition use frequency and the data collected in the corpus base of learns with Chinese as the mother tongue,it is found that the use frequency of Chinese learners on manner pursuant prepositions is lower,which shows the phenomenon of use avoidance.After comparing the data of target prepositions used by Chinese learners,it is found that the order of target preposition use frequency from high to low is “yi,tongguo,genju,ju,anzhao,an,yi,zhao,ping,you,jianyu,yizhao,ben”.After making statistics of the error quantity of target words,it obtains the basic data of each target preposition error and the error data of each preposition according to the classification of ingredient redundancy,ingredient missing,improper word order position,preposition misuse and wrong word collocation.After calculating and comparing the data,the order of target preposition error frequency from high to low is “cong,you,genju,yi,yi,ju,tongguo,an,anzhao,ping,zhao”.In chapter 2,it mainly divides error corpus into five categories of ingredient redundancy,ingredient missing,improper word order position,preposition misuse,word collocation,and separately describes the error characteristics of target prepositions in the output process.In order to observe and classify the errors of corpus conveniently,it firstly summarizes the structural types of four main target prepositions and three framework types.After the classification and statistics of target preposition errors,it discovers that “preposition misuse” is the most frequent error types of learners,and “ingredient missing” follows.This paper discovers that most part of manner pursuant prepositions are mixed with multiple objects,intersection exists between each other,the mixing relations of words are rather complicated and extremely difficult to tease.Between the trans-type prepositions with very tiny meaning associations,mixing also appears.Use frequency has the extensive effects.The most frequently missing ingredients of learners are the central words of attributive phrases in “preposition + attributive phrase” structure.Postpositive words of “lai” and “laikan” and the located words of “up,down” appear the redundancy most frequently.In the third chapter,it mainly proposes three pieces of advice of using corpus base resources to optimize preposition teaching,emphasizing the preposition input and output quality of students and guiding students to become the initiative “collocation collectors” on the teaching of manner pursuant prepositions from the angle of corpus base linguistics,proposes to regard different types of corpus bases as the ordinary teaching tools of teachers gradually,introduce corpus base into the language teaching,provide more real language materials for students,improve the input quality for students and control the output quality of students.
