| Conjunctions in Chinese is a most typical way in discourse cohesion, which play an important part in helping to achieve a smooth interface between the sentences and making it a coherent unity. However, conjunctions in Chinese are usually used in pairs to constitute multi-complex sentences, so compare with single sentence; they are much more complicated in logical semantics, structures and so on. South Korean students in senior level have basically owned the ability to express a relatively complete meaning in Chinese, and the grammar errors in single sentences also reduced gradually. But we can perceive from their writing that once they began to express paragraph by paragraph, the problems of convergence became exposed, for example:no or lack of convergence between sentences; can not make a coherent and fluent expression. An important point for the reason is that they have not used conjunctions correctly.Combining with the existing researches about conjunctions, and having analyzed and summarized both correct and error cases which were collected from the corpus on the senior stage of South Korean students, we found that the errors using by senior South Korean students can be classified into the following types:misuse, wrong order, omission and redundancy.In order to analyze the causes of these errors, we firstly compared the location in sentences, pattern and pragmatics of Chinese and Korean conjunctions,and identified the negative impacts from mother language transfer; then compared with the situation of conjunctions used by native speakers, and found out a phenomenon of avoiding when South Korean students using Chinese conjunctions. The article further investigated the acquisition order of senior South Korean students, and then divided all the conjunctions to five levels.Finally, we investigated the set of conjunctions in syllabus and main textbooks, focus on the problems of using conjunctions found from senior South Korean students, we separately put forward some opinions for current text, but also made several specific recommendations for teaching Chinese conjunctions, hoping to supply some useful reference for teaching Chinese as foreign language. |
