The Research On Acquisition Order Of12Affirmative Sentence Types

There are many affirmative sentences in Chinese.Generally,the first things foreign students meet are affirmative sentences in studying Chinese and they encounter them frequently.Shi Jiawei presents12affirmative sentences types.She Points that these12affirmative sentence types which are typical and special and presentive are very important in syllabus of foreign teaching.We will study the acquisition order of these affirmative sentence types based on Shi Jiawei’s research.There are four parts:First,we introduce the grammatical and semantic features of12affirmative sentence types as the foundation of our research.Second,we begin with the frequency of12affirmative sentences types,gather statistics and order them,then we compare the statistics of Chinese using frequency with foreign students’.We find that the using frequency of Chinese and foreign students is identical.Therefor,we conclud that the using frequency or Chinese influces the using frequency of foreign students,that is the more using in Chinese,the more using in Chinese studying.Third,based on the frequency research,we further discuss the realationship beteen using frequency and acquisition order.We hope to prove the hypothesis:the sentence type which is used more learn first.Then we study the interlanguage corpus,analyze the acquisition features of junior,intermediate,senior foreign students.We summarize the acquisition order, Junior:A1、C1、F1,Intermediate:A2、 B1,Senior:D2、D1、B2.There are also four types which are not acquired by the foreign students.From the acquisition order,we find that the sentence types junior students acquire are basic types,intermediate acquire are more difficult types,senior acquire are most difficult types.We also discuss the elements that influence the acquisition order.The using frequency has a intimate realationship with acquisition order.By comparing we get the using frequency decide the acquisition order generally,but not the only element. Last,we research Chinese Couse which is written by Yang Jizhou.We found most of these12affirmative sentence types appear in this book.Their appearing order just agree with their acquisition order basically.But there are some disadvantages in this book,so we also give some advice.
