Mid-level Japanese Students Chinese Conjunctions Features And The Error Analysis

Conjunction is the most important part to achieve cohesion in Chinese expression. Compared with simple sentences, conjunctions are more complicated in logical semantics, structures and other aspects when forming multi-complex sentences. Overseas students from Japan on intermediate and advanced level can basically express complete meaning in Chinese. They make fewer grammar mistakes in simple sentences. But we can perceive from their compositions that once they begin to express a short paragraph the problem of linking starts to be exposed, for example:no or lack of cohesion between sentences, so that they can’t make a coherent and smooth expression. One of the important reasons is that they don’t use the conjunctions correctly.Referring to the corpus of HSK, this study will try to collect and analyze correct and wrong examples of conjunction usage made by overseas students from Japan on intermediate and advanced level. Furthermore, to sum up their characteristics and mistakes in using conjunctions and then find out the reason why they make these mistakes. On the bases of these steps, this study will propose some advices in conjunction teaching for Japanese overseas students.The dissertation is composed of6chapters.The first chapter is the introduction part, mainly explaining the origin and purpose of this research, current situation of conjunction research, theoretical basis and research scope.
