A Semantic Study Of The Polysemous Verbs "zuo" And "gan" In Chinese As A Foreign Language

Polysemous verbs are a special kind of verbs in human language.They can replace many specific verbs syntactically and express a broad and uncertain meaning with different contexts,in the use of pragmatics it quite extensive.Among them,“zuo”and “gan” are the typical polysemous verbs,which have a high error rate in the process of foreign students’ Chinese acquisition,and most of the errors are in the semantic aspect.Current research shows that there have been some achievements in the acquisition of Chinese as a foreign language polysemous verbs,However,there are few researches on the semantic mastery of “zuo” and “gan”.In order to solve the problems in the above investigation,This paper first makes a semantic analysis and comparison of the polysemous verbs “zuo” and “gan”,and collects the relevant semantic corpus,through the form of the test paper on the polysemous verb “zuo” and “gan” semantic grasp of the situation.After quantitative data analysis,it is found that the occurrence of semantic acquisition bias of the polysemous verbs “zuo” and “gan” are closely related to five influencing factors,namely,semantic similarity,semantic extension transparency,generic meaning,interpretation of new words in the textbook and recurrence rate.In view of the five factors causing the acquisition bias of “zuo” and “gan”,this paper puts forward corresponding teaching countermeasures for the semantic acquisition of the polysemous verbs “zuo” and “gan” : Comparative teaching of similar senses of “zuo”and “gan”,teaching of morpheme blocks,learning according to the order of acquisition of polysemous verb senses,teachers appropriately increasing the English translation of the meanings involved in the textbook,and strengthening the frequency and frequency of the repetition of the meanings of “zuo” and “gan” in the textbook.
