中国英语学习者增强语副词使用情况的调查研究

利用语料库对中国英语学习者的增强语副词使用情况进行调查研究。研究发现中国英语学习者对该类词既有使用过多又有使用过少的现象，但从总体上看，他们过多使用了增强语副词，而且过多使用的词主要集中在more，very，much和too四个词上。这种现象主要是由于学习者的词汇量较小和母语负迁移而造成的。此外，中国英语学习者使用增强语副词的能力随英语水平的提高而提高，高水平学习者所使用的增强语副词范围更广，使用增强语副词的能力更接近于本族语者。

A Corpus-based Analysis of Amplification Adverbs Used by Chinese English Learners

This paper attempts to conduct a corpus-based study of amplification adverbs used by Chinese English learners. It is concluded that the overuse and the underuse tendency co-exist in the use of amplification adverbs, but the former is much stronger than the latter on the whole. The overused words are mainly more, very, much and too. This phenomenon arises mainly due to learners＇ small vocabulary and negative transfer of their native language. Furthermore, the more advanced the learners are, the wider range of amplification adverbs they are able to use, and advanced learners＇ ability of using amplification adverbs is closer to the native speakers.
