A Typology-based Study On Acquisition Of Chinese Multiple Attributes Word Order

Taking the students from Thailand and South Korea for instance,the purpose of this paper is to investigate if they were affected by language universality tendency,order between center words and the attributive words of native language,order between multiple attributives of native language and learning level when they learned Chinese attributive order as "possessive words+demonstrative pronoun+quantifier+adjective+center words" and " possessive words+demonstrative pronoun+quantifier+verbal words+center words".First,we summarize the universality and individuality of Chinese,Thai and Korean on multiple attributives order through comparative analysis.Then,we verify hypothesis by analyses for the testing of 96 foreign students,observing their acquisition principles and restriction factors.We found that language universality tendency,order between multiple attributives of native language and learning level influence the acquisition of foreign students on Chinese multiple attributives word order,while order between center words and the attributive words of native language not.At the last,we put forward rational advice related to different characteristics of attributives word order based on typology.
