A Dynamical Systems Theory Perspective On The Study And Teaching Of Oral Errors In Chinese

Based on the theory of dynamic systems and taking Thep,a guest in the variety show Informal Talks,as the research object,this paper collected 124 audio speeches of Thep in three seasons from 2018 to 2020,and translated them into text.By using the audio and text corpus obtained,this paper makes a horizontal and vertical analysis of the errors in phonetics,vocabulary and syntax in the three years of spoken Chinese in Thep.This study mainly examines the change of Thep Chinese spoken level from the perspective of bias change.In the course of the research,this paper analyzes the phonetic,lexical and syntactic errors of Thep in detail.The concrete manifestation and process of the variation of each part’s bias are explained.This paper investigates the causes of Thep’s Chinese oral bias and analyzes the factors that affect its variation.Through the systematic analysis of Chinese oral errors in Thep three years,this paper finds that the changes of each subsystem of the language are fluctuating.In the language system,phonetic changes are the most obvious and the first to be affected by environmental factors,followed by vocabulary and the most stable syntax.In the phonetic system,one initial or vowel may have multiple corresponding error forms at the same time.In the author’s tracking records,we have obtained a complete error correction track for part of the errors.In addition,some error forms are constantly changing,but no correct form has appeared until the end of corpus collection,which shows that the fluctuation variation is a complex and long process.In the investigation of vocabulary,the author not only made a dynamic analysis of the errors,but also investigated the changes in the difficulty of the vocabulary used in Thep in the past three years.Combining the two items,it can be concluded that the Chinese level of Thep has a rising trend in the fluctuation.In the study of syntax,due to the particularity of variety shows,I have retained some regrets temporarily.Finally,based on the research findings of this paper,the author interviewed students and teachers engaged in front-line international Chinese education who had similar changes to Thep’s Chinese level in previous teaching practices,and put forward some thoughts and suggestions for international oral Chinese teaching based on the author’s research and interview results.
