A Study On The Acquisition Of Chinese Subject-verb-object Order By English- And Korean-speaking Students At The Primary Stage

Based on the Chinese interlanguage spoken corpus of English and Korean native students in Nanjing Normal University,this paper investigates the acquisition process of subject-predicate object order of English and Korean native students by using micro-development analysis.According to the error cases of English and Korean students,this paper explores the causes of errors,investigates the difficulties in acquisition and puts forward teaching suggestions.The specific chapters are as follows:First chapter is based on the existing research results,combined with the corpus used by middle school students in the spoken interlanguage corpus,we frame the Chinese subject-predicate object order category studied in this paper,which mainly includes two types:the conventional word order and the variant word order.The conventional word order is divided into SV,SVO,SVO₁O₂,SV₁O₁V₂O₂ and SV₁concurrent V₂O₂,while the variant word order is divided into OSV,SOV and OVS.The second chapter makes a detailed comparison of subject-predicate object order between Chinese and English,Chinese and Korean based on the occurrence of word order in spoken interlanguage corpus.According to the one-way comparative analysis of Chinese and English,Chinese and Korean,it concludes the similarities and differences between Chinese subject predicate object order and English and Korean subject predicate object order,and predicts the acquisition difficulty of Chinese subject predicate object order of English and Korean native speakers based on the comparative results.The difficulty of Chinese subject-predicate object word order acquisition of SVO native English students are SVO?SVO₁O₂<SV?OSV<SV₁O₁V₂O₂?SV₁concurrent V₂O₂?SOV.The difficulty grades of Chinese subject-predicate object word order acquisition of SOV type Korean native students are:SV?SOV<SVO?SVO₁O₂?OSV<SV₁O₁V₂O₂?SV₁concurrent V₂O₂.The third chapter is the cognitive process and error analysis of Chinese subject-predicate object order acquisition of native English and Korean students.Based on the investigation of the incipient rate,frequency and accuracy of each subject predicate object order,it is found that the acquisition and development process of the two basic types of word order is not completely consistent.The acquisition order of Chinese subject-predicate object order is SV>SVO>SVO₁O₂>SV₁O₁V₂O₂>OSV>SOV>SV₁concurrent V₂O₂.The acquisition order of Chinese subject-predicate object order of SOV Korean native speakers is SV?SVO>SVO₁O₂>SV₁O₁V₂O₂>SOV>OSV>SV₁concurrent V₂O₂.From the perspective of its development process,whether it is SVO or SOV,the frequency of subject-predicate object order in Chinese is close to the frequency of native speakers,which indicates that the process of second language acquisition is a procedure of approaching the target language.The fourth chapter summarizes the acquisition rules of subject-predicate object order of native English and Korean language students,and puts forward relevant suggestions on the teaching of subject-predicate object order of Chinese combined with the investigation of teaching materials.
