| The development of international Chinese education with inadequate CELDs targeting high-level foreign Chinese speakers drives scholars to pay more attention to the lexicographic theories while less to the practices.Verbs have always been the focus of foreign Chinese learning,and the degree of mastery of them by learners directly affects the accuracy and coherence of their communication.This thesis takes the CTVs as examples to explore a new definition model of verbs in CELDs based on the theory of argument construction and corpus of both interlanguage native languages.The central meaning of the CTVs is "representing the process from nothing to something".There are five such types in the HSK vocabulary words: chǎnshēng,fāshēng,chūxiàn,yǐnqǐ and dǎozhì.Firstly,the argument structure of the five CTVs has been analyzed,followed by their participant roles,based on the native corpus and corpus extraction tools,to obtain their lexical meaning and compare them with those of foreign Chinese learners.Then,an investigation of the current status of the definition model of CTVs in existing CELDs shows that they do not present the argument construction of such words,resulting in inadequate usage information.Based on the above research,this paper proposes a new definition model based on the argument construction,taking chunks as the definition unit,restoring the definition and expression of verbs in different situations,and helping Chinese learners improve their second language production ability.Finally,according to the principles of learners’ dictionaries and the definition mode of the English learners’ dictionaries,a concrete definition presentation of "Chǎnsh ē ng" is constructed.This research is a study on the definition model of CELDs,which is beneficial to the theoretical and practical construction and improvement of the definition model of the Chinese-English learner’s dictionary. |
