Study On Two Negative Comparative Sentences Towards Chinese Teaching

Both “A be not X than B” and “A be not so X as B” are negativecomparison constructions. Although these two sentence patterns have learnedon primary stage, but we found that there are problems when foreign studentsuse this two negative comparative sentences.For example, the adverb not’sposition in “A be not X than B”.The Selective of adjectives on “A be not X thanB” and “A be not so X as B”. Even though this two sentence patterns seemsimple, there are errors in foreign students practical application, this arousedour deep thinking. Teacher’s responsibility means not only point out theGrammatical Mistakes, but also explain reasons and the origin of errors. Ifteachers want to do these, there is more than language sense, teachersshould have a good grasp of the two negative comparative sentences.Which is the negative pattern of “bi” structure, the semantic types of “A benot X than B” and the difference of “A be not X than B” and “A be not so X as B”,the grammatical world is unable to reach a unanimous decision. This situationinfluences both teachers’ teaching and students’ study. So, this paper will usethe theory of linguistic semantics and pragmatic and try to discuss and analyzethe issues mentioned above. I hope it will provide some help to the teachingChinese as a foreign language.This paper also make suggestions on compile textbooks, teaching methodand teachers’ teaching. Teaching the two negative comparative sentencesshould be in beginning, intermediate, advanced. Teachers should use contextin teaching. This paper combined with error acquisition research and secondlanguage teaching principle. So this paper suggest that the teachers teach on“A be not X than B” and “A be not so X as B”, use the specific context inteaching will be very properly.
