Application Of Presupposition Theory In The Chinese Teaching

Based on presupposition theory, this thesis discussed the application value: presupposition analysis of some difficult vocabularies and language structures can clarify the pragmatic meaning and contribute to distinguish homoionym. Based on presupposition, teachers can construct the meaning frames of the language points and some target-oriented contexts which are similar in the meaning frames. Those target-oriented contexts on one hand can effective enrich and deepen students' understanding on the meaning and usage of vocabularies and language structures, on the other hand, can externalize the choosing process of the language points in language communications and help teachers to guide students in target-oriented using exercises. Based on the foregoing value analysis, this paper investigated two language syllabuses (The Syllabus of Graded Word and Characters for Chinese Proficiencies, The Grammar Section in A Grade Syllabus for HSK) and then choose and sorted out all the language points which are both presupposition triggers and difficulties in Chinese teaching. Through systematic studies and analysis, this paper concluded the meaning frames or usage conditions of those language points which are choose, and accordingly provided the advices on Chinese teaching and designs of exercise and reading comprehension tests.
