Study Of Emotion Adjectives Based On Valence Theory And Analysis Of Errors

Based on the valence theory,the paper tries to study emotional adjectives by combining with teaching of Chinese as a Second language,in order to deepen the study of emotional adjectives and to enrich the study of adjective valence.Firstly,the semantic features and five syntactic access criteria of emotional adjectives are summarized,from which 84 emotional adjectives are extracted from the Chinese Proficiency Grading Standards for International Chinese Language Education.The syntactic and semantic configurations of univalent and bivalent emotional adjectives are investigated from the perspective of valence,and then followed by a pragmatic analysis from three perspectives: the topic change of the "N(zhu)+ dui + N(dui)+ A2" format,the free complement and the chapter articulation function.Secondly,Development Chinese(Comprehensive)and Boya Chinese,are selected to contrast the overall preparation of 84 emotional adjectives in the textbooks in terms of raw word presentation,text examples and exercise settings,and the teaching of emotional adjectives under valence theory was examined through interviews;it was found that there was a tendency to neglect the teaching of valence in both the textbook and teachers’ teaching.Firstly,all of 454 errors are analyzed,and the types of errors are classified into four categories: valence-quantity errors,valence-quality errors,valence-position errors and false substitution errors.Based on the examination results of the textbooks,teachers and errors,the causes of errors were summarized and teaching suggestions were made in a targeted manner.
