A Study On The Construction " V₁着V₁着......V₂P" And Its Application In Teaching Chinese As A Foreign Language

The construction"V₁着V₁着......V₂P"is a very important language point in the teaching Chinese as a second language,but people learning Chinese often have difficulty in it,especially in grasping the overall structure of the construction.Based on the"Construction-chunk Approach",this paper focuses on the construction of"V₁着V₁着......V₂P"by using literature research method and error analysis method,and designs a lesson plan based on the language chunk chain for teaching Chinese as a second language.Finally,some suggestions are put forward for teaching.Based on predecessor’s ontological research on"V₁着V₁着......V₂P",the focus of research is to help learners learn it.First of all,defining whether"V₁着V₁着......V₂P"is a Construction.Then the"Construction-chunk Approach"is adopted to analyze the structure.The construction of"V₁着V₁着......V₂P"is divided into three language chunks,namely the antecedent chunk"V₁P",the continuous chunk"V₁着V₁着"and the variable chunk"V₂P".Through the analysis of the three language chunks,it is found that the"V₁"in"V₁P"and"V₁着V₁着"present itself in two patterns,dominant and invisible,and the"V₁"is mainly composed of monosyllabic verbs."V₂P"can be divided into five semantic types according to the meaning of change.Finally,it is analyzed that there are specific connecting words between continuous chunks and change chunks.Afterwards,analyzing the construction from three aspects:semantics,pragmatics and cognition.As for semantics,the relationship of succession,adversity,and inheritance can be seen between"V₁着V₁着"chunks and"V₂P"chunks.In terms of pragmatics,the construction of"V₁着V₁着......V₂P"can be regarded as a texture.The semantic incompleteness of"V₁着V₁着"requires the following"V₂P"as complementary information.As a supplement,the previous"V₁P"is a parallel structure with"V₁着V₁着".The"V₁着V₁着......V₂P"can also be seen as a"Pattern of Context Configuration"of"trigger-continuation-ending".In terms of cognition,whether V₁is bounded or unbounded,"V₁着V₁着"is an unbounded component.The sequence of the three language chunks also follows the sequence of time.In the next part,collecting and analyzing the errors made by foreign students in the acquisition process,and summarizing the five types and the four causes of errors.Based on the"Construction-chunk Approach",errors and causes of learners,the author proposes a teaching design of Chinese as a second language and puts forward relevant teaching suggestions.Instructional design includes introduction,explanation,practice and consolidation,helping learners to understand and remember the structure in teaching.Finally,summarizing the findings,the innovative points and shortcomings of the research.
