A Multi-angle Comparison Of Causal Conjunctions "Suoyi"(??)"Yinci"(??)"Jieguo"(??)and Teaching Chinese As A Foreign Language

The research object of this paper,the conjunctions "Suoyi"(??)"Yinci"(??)and "Jieguo"(??),can all express causality in sentences,but they are different in specific usage.In the previous research results,most scholars mainly focus on the diachronic evolution of the three and the comparative study with other conjunctions,but there are few researches on the comparative analysis of the three.The survey found that foreign students is easy to be confused when using these three words,resulting in biased errors.Thus,on the basis of analyzing a great quantity of corpus,this paper compares "Suoyi"(??)"Yinci"(??)and "Jieguo"(??)from three aspects:syntax,semantics and pragmatics.Meanwhile,we analyzes the biased errors of foreign students by examining the real corpus.Finally we put forward practical teaching suggestions,so that foreign students can better learn and master the usage of the three.This paper consists of five chapters:Chapter 1 is the introduction.Firstly,this article expounds the reasons for the topic selection,the research significance and status.Then it illustrates the research theories,methods and sources of the corpus.Chapter 2 is a multi-angle comparative analysis of "Suoyi"(??)"Yinci"(??)and "Jieguo"(??)from three aspects:syntax,semantics and pragmatics.At the syntactic level:before the subject is the common syntactic position of the three;before and after the subjects of the clauses connected by the three are consistent;there are "because" and "due to" in common collocation with the three,but there is a difference in collocation tendency:"Suoyi"(??)is placed between the subject and predicate,and the reason for the fact is explained below,which is the usage of "cause from the result".At the semantic level:all three can express causality."Suoyi"(??)"Yinci"(??)can be used in causal complex sentences and inferential causal complex sentences,while "Jieguo"(??)is generally only used in causal complex sentences;"Jieguo"(??)can express a coherent relationship in a sentence express,while "Suoyi"(??)"Yinci"(??)have no such use;"Suoyi"(??)"Yinci"(??)can be used in both the already state and the not yet state,while"Jieguo"(??)is generally used in the already state sentences;all of them have the characteristics of reality and timeliness.On the pragmatic level;compared with"Suoyi"(??)"Jieguo"(??),'Yinci"(??)has a strong written color;" Suoyi”(??)"Yinci"(??)indicate a neutral result,while the result clause guided by"Jieguo"(??)has a negative color;all of them have subjective expression function and chapter connection function.Finally,after analyzing the Chinese ontology knowledge,we systematically analyzes the conditions that the three can replace each other.Chapter 3 is the error analysis of foreign students in acquiring "Suoyi"(??)"Yinci"(??)and "Jieguo"(??).Through the investigation of real corpus,we found that foreign students mainly appear misgeneration,misaddition,omission and wrong order errors.Among these four types of errors,the misgeneration rate is the highest,then the omission and misaddition,and the misordering is rare.We think that there are four causes for these errors:the negative transfer of target language knowledge,the use of avoidance strategies by foreign students,the complicacy of language points,and the impact of textbooks and teaching.Chapter 4 is based on the analysis of "Suoyi"(??)"Yinci"(??)and"Jieguo"(??)of Chinese ontology knowledge and errors,we propose targeted teaching suggestions from the learners,textbook writing and teaching methods.Last is the conclusion.It makes a summary of this thesis and points out shortages of this paper.
