A Study On The Acquisition Order Of Chinese Adverb Hai By Moroccan Learners

“hai” is a adverb used quite frequently in modern Chinese.Learners of Chinese language tend to make errors when they are learning it and applying into practice,because of its complexity of meaning and usage,and the subjectivity of some senses.Based on the theoretical assumption that the grammaticalization order of adverb “hai” parallels with its acquisition order,we map out a presupposed acquisition order of “hai” in this paper,and conduct a research on the real acquisition order of Moroccan learners of Chinese language.After analyzing the data with statistical methods,we found that the acquisition order of adverb “hai” of Moroccan students is “hai 4”(degree lighten)< “hai 1”(continuation)< “ hai 3”(degree deepen)< “hai 2”(incremental complement)< “hai 5”(leading to extreme)< “ hai6”(modal meaning).In general,this result is consistent with the presupposed acquisition order.And on this basis,we make some suggestions for compiling textbooks,teacher’s teaching and teaching strategies.This paper can be divided into five chapters:Chapter one mainly contains the value in doing it,the foundation of research,the methods used,and the previous research results of adverb “hai ”.Chapter two divided the sense of adverb “hai”and analyse its grammatical process.Chapter three carried out questionnaire research and analysis on the acquisition condition of adverb “hai” of Moroccan students.In chapter four,following the previous study,I raise a series of suggestions about teaching strategies and textbook.Chapter five provides a brief summary of this paper.and the limitations for further research are presented.
