Research On Chinese Word Order Errors Of Intermediate And Senior Level Chinese Learners In South Korea

Chinese learners in South Korea have the higher number of word order errors.Based on “HSK Dynamic Composition Corpus version 2.0”,a total of 3556 Korean examinees’ word order errors are retrieved by means of annotation and retrieval.Word order is one of the major grammatical devices of modern Chinese,and there are great differences between the word order of Korean and Chinese,and thus the study in this aspect is highly valuable to research.In this paper,by simple random sampling,500 valid samples of Chinese word order errors from intermediate level(no certificate)and senior level(A-level,B-level and C-level certificate)are respectively recruited as the research objects to study the Chinese word order errors of intermediate and senior level Chinese learners in South Korea.The major conclusions are as follows:Firstly,the sequence of all kinds of word order errors from the highest to the lowest in all examples is: word order errors of adverbials,predicates,subjects,objects,attributes,function words in a single sentence,complements,relative conjunctions in a complex sentence,the compound sentences and clauses.Secondly,intermediate and senior level Chinese learners in South Korea have the largest number of errors in the word order of adverbials.In the word order errors of single adverbial,the number of word order errors of adverbs as adverbials is the most,accounting for 56.63% of the word order errors in all single adverbials.On one hand,the adverb as the adverbial is the most frequently used,and on the other hand,it is influenced by negative transfer of mother tongue,because the position of adverbs in Korean is more flexible.Thirdly,compared to intermediate level learners in South Korea,with the enhancement of level of learners’ Chinese-learning,the number of various categories of word order errors of senior level Chinese learners has not gone down significantly,primarily because the errors of interlanguage are stubborn,leading to the fossilization.Fourthly,the word order of predicates,objects,complements,subjects,function words in a single sentence and relative conjunctions in a complex sentence are the focal points of teaching in the secondary stage,while the word order of attributes,adverbials,the compound sentences and clauses are the important points of teaching in the advanced stage.The word order of attributes and center words,and the word order of multi-attributes are the important and difficult point in the teaching of the word order of attributes.The word order of adverbials and center words,and the word order of multi-adverbials are the important and difficult points in the teaching of the word order of adverbials.
