Critical Review姓名:常首鸣班级:08级外应2班学号:2008142 专业:翻译理论及实践Article: Cohesion Is Not Coherence Author: Patricia L. Carrell1.Introduction:The author of the article is Patricia L. Carrell, a professor of linguistics at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale where she teaches in the M.A. in EFL/ESL program, and she is currently visiting Professor of ESL at the University of Hawaii. Her article, Cohesion Is Not Coherence, is published in 1982 when a tremendous attention has been paid to the field of studying text as a unit of language beyond the sentence level, and almost at the same time many researchers of first language as well as applied and second language researchers have been proposed a variety of approaches and theoretical accounts in the field, trying to explain the fundamental properties of text. These approaches are called text grammars, among which Michael Halliday and Rugaiya Hasan’s cohesion theory has been the most influential one.The purpose of the article is to criticise cohesion theory as a criterion of textual coherence from the perspective of schema-theoretical view which has taken the reader into caaount, and which has viewed both reading and writing as an interactive process involving the writer and the reader, as well as the text.Personally the article is worth writing for it has not only challenged the cohesion theroy which has been regarded as a measure of textual coherence, pointing out the weakness of the theory, but provided some penetrating points which, I think, is a insightful contribution to the ESL research, especially on writing and reading.The article is a well-origanized writing, especially the first paragraph which functions as an abstract. In terms of the elements a complete abstract should have, thisparagraph could be a model writing on the level of both structure and logic.2.Body2.1 On the Introduction Part of This Articlethe writer clearly and concisely reviews the background information that Halliday and Hasan proposed the concept of cohesion, and shows the organization of her article: the first part reviews Halliday and Hasan’s cohesion theory as a criterion of textual coherence; the scond part criticizes the cohesive view of coherence both theoretically and empirically; the third and final part relates this criticism of cohesion as a measure of coherence to the applied fiel d—the teaching of writing and reading in a second language, especially ESL.2.2On Reviewing Cohesion TheoryCarrell objectively and fairly describes cohesion theory and categorise it as the traditional text grammar. The theory treats text in the field of linguistics. After pointing out that register and cohesion, the letter of which is Halliday and Hasan’s main concern, are the combination of coherence, or texture which establishes what is the properities of texts in English, and what it is that distinguishes a text from a disconnected sequence of sentence, the author stating that cohesion concerns semantic relations rather than content of passeges or textual meaning; and then she briefly summarizes the four cohesive ties or relations—reference, substituation, conjunction and lexical cohesion—which Halliday and Hasan believe to be the resources for creating texture, or coherence.Finally Carrell concludes that Halliday and Hasan’s mian point appears to be that coherence of content alone is not enough to produce a coherent text, and there must be some additional device, such as ochesive ties, to make a text coherent.2.3On The Criticism Of The Cohesive View Of Coherence2.3.1 From the Theoretical ConsiderationsCarrell has briefly reviewed the criticism towards the cohesion view of textual coherence from different perspectives, such as that of Karen Feathers’ which arguesthat cohesion theory operates on the superfical surface structure of a text in establishing the cohesive ties.However the criticism of this article is in line with schema-theoretical views of text processing. The theoretical criticism emanates from Morgan and Sellner’s opinion. They sharply state that text grammars, including cohesion theory, talk about text analisis just for the sake of linguistic analysis for these approaches ignore a crucial and indispensable element in the text processin g—reader. Language is the reflection of the real world, and text is produced for reader.From the point of schems-theory, Morgan and sellner argue that Halliday and Hasan mistakingly take certain aspects of linguistic forms, namely cohesive ties as the cause, not the effect, of coherence. To convince the suggestion, they examine the first and simplest example in Halliday and Hasan’s book, Cohesion in English published in 1975. And then they state that Halliday and Hasan provide no reason in their notion. In the end, Carrell maintains the idea that text coheres not because the existence ofo lexical cohesive ties, but because readers have access to interpreting the schems in text. Without such a schems text will fail to cohere.2.3.2 From Empirical StudiesOn the empirical criticism part, Carrell uses three separate empirical studies to support Morgan and Sellner’s theoretical criticism of Halliday and Hasan’s notion. The first study carried out by Tierney and Mosenthal is to examine the extent to which Halliday and Hasan’s cohesion concept correlated with coherence. They find that toic or content appears to affect the writer’s choice in using cohesive ties. The study indicates that a cohesion index is causally unrelated to a text’s coherence. The second experiment by Freebody and Anderson shows the effects of three different levels of cohesion on reaers’understanding of written texts. The experiment also indicates that vocablary difficulty had a dramatic effect on understanding, but the amount of cohesion did not. The last empirical study by Steffensen who studied the interactive effects of both cohesive ties and cultural background knowledge on readers’comprehension of short prose texts. Steffensen found that causal and adversaitve cohesive elements were recalled better by readers from the text of theirown culture than the text of foreign culture. It suggests that cultural elements will cause the loss the textual cohesion. In other words, without the background schema underlying the text the cohesive ties will not produce a coherent text on the part of readers.2.4 Implications For Second Language/ESLThe critical of the paper on cohesiontheory in the light of schema-theory is to caytion those in second language teaching, especially in ESL, not to think that cohesion theory will be a panacea to solve reading and writing problem at the level of text. A coferent text will likely be coheisve, not of necessary, that is only an effect of the coherent content.Cohesion theory is worth studing. However it is not an measure of coherence of a text.2.5EvaluationAfter reading the article, we could gain a clear idea from the well-organized structure. Excellence of the article lies in the methodology used in it, that is, the theoretical criticism supported by the the empirical work which is carried out upon the same theoretical framework. However the limitations of the article are also its strengths. On the theoretical part, the critical opinion mainly comes from other researchers rather than Carrell herself; and on the empirical part, the three separate empirical studies are not finished by Carrell.3.ConclusionThe article criticises the concept of cohesion as a measure of the coherence, pointing out that the notion hold by Halliday and Hasan is in line with the linguistic analysis. With the orientation of schema-theory, the auhtor strongly criticises cohesion theory which fails to take the contribution of readers’into consideration in text processing, and objectively sates that cohesion theory hold by many researchers, especially in second language teaching/ESL, will not be a ultimate solution to writing and reading problem. The article has drawn some critical insight towards the second languageteaching and learning, which has been supported theoretically and empirically. The article is thought provoking.REFERENCES:Bobrow, D. G., and D. A. Norman. 1975. Some principles of memory schemata. In D.G. Bobrow and A. M.

As a matter of fact, people mainly adopt a linguistic approach to the English to Chinese translation of legislative text with other external factors neglected. As one of the most important external factors, the role of power in legal text translation is stressed by the author in this thesis. The theoretical framework of this thesis is one of Halliday’s metafunctions, the interpersonal function.When I first came across this thesis, I felt a little excited because it is where my own interest lies and the research question is attractive. But to my disappointment, it doesn’t meet my expectation. First, the abstract part is not well organized and clearly stated. After finishing reading this part, I am almost lost. Although the subject matter of the thesis is clearly stated, it lacks research findings. Besides, in the last sentence “the result of the study may provide some implications for legal translation in general’, the writer fails to give the concrete implications of the study. Thus, it leaves its readers in confusion. As for the literature review which is included in the introduction part, it is also not very satisfactory. The author just makes a list of relevant materials and fails to elaborate the basis and premises of the research.Apart from the weakness that I have discussed above, it do does well in some aspect. Take its microstructure for example, it does not only logically arranged but clearly stated as well. Furthermore, this thesis brings a fresh air to legal language studies by adopting the top-down research methodology.The author is suggested to rewrite the abstract part and amplify the literature review. Above all, she is also supposed to clarify her research findings and their implications.In conclusion, from a bird’s-eye view of the whole thesis, it is reasonably arranged and well structured. However, from a worm’s-eye, there are a lot of problems to be rectified.Entry 2 Measuring Textual Equivalence:A Functional Linguistic ApproachThis thesis seeks to explore the contribution of the cohesion theory to the building of textual equivalence in translation practice through resources of the relevant research findings. The research topic of the thesis is the textual equivalence. Under the theoretical framework of the cohesion theory, it clearly states the five variables of cohesion: thematic progression, reference system, ellipsis conjunction, and lexical cohesion. These five variables can be used to evaluate the adequacy of a translated text in terms of equivalence. Thus it provides insight into the evaluation of the translated works.This thesis has given me plenty of enlightenment and suggestions which will contribute a lot to my later study. From the reading of this thesis, I have a deep understanding of what a thesis is supposed be, what an abstract is supposed be, what an introduction is supposed be etc. It aids me to understand what I have learned in class.This thesis is so well written that I almost cannot find any problems in it. Its abstract is a quite standard one. In this part, the author includes almost all the parts that an abstract desires. Its language is concise and clear. It helps its readers have a very clear panoramic view of the whole thesis and fulfill the function of an abstract. It helps me deepen my understanding of what an abstract is supposed to be and sets a good example. Besides, the thesis itself has a sound theoretical framework. It does not only make an introduction of the cohesion theory but elaborate the relationship between the theory and the research topic and process as well. The outline of the thesis is based on the five variables that are used to evaluate the adequacy of a translated text from the perspective of equivalence.Although it is so well structured, there still exists a problem, that is, it does not clearly state the implications of the theory after the case study. I suggest the author add them in her thesis.In a word, this thesis is a good one and we can learn a lot from reading it.Entry 3 The Unit of Translation Revisited:From the perspectives of Analysis and Transference In the domain of translation studies, the study of the unit of translation (UT for short) has been a longstanding academic issue. The research of it is by no means new to us. Additionally, it ranks among the most complicated problems of translation theory and draws great attention of overseas and domestic translation scholars. Thus, it is difficult to do such kind of research. In the history of translation studies, the issue of UT has been addressed from different perspectives. In this thesis, the author makes arduous efforts to clarify the concept of UT and its function and do the research of it from the perspective of textlinguistics and systemic functional grammar which are the theoretical framework of this thesis.As I have mentioned in the introduction, this topic is an old one and a great amount of literature is desired to be made by the author. Actually the author himself is fully aware of it and does a good job. However, the literature review is not perfect because the author puts some parts, which is supposed to be included in the first chapter, in the second chapter. Therefore, it is better for the writer to make some adjustments. As far as the research question is concerned, the author states it clearly and gives a satisfactory solution to it. Although the question is old, its perspective is new and gives its readers a lot of enlightenment.There are still some problems in this thesis. It lies in the aspect of its theoretical framework. It fails to elaborate the relationship between the theory and the research topic and process. And its introduction of the theoretical framework is too briefly stated and beyond satisfaction. Besides, the author does not tell the readers why his evaluation is important and how his study is conducted. And also he does not give readers an outline of his thesis. I strongly recommend him to make one in the introduction part, for it is much easier to familiarize the readers with the structure of his thesis before get down to the body part.In a word, I gain a lot from this academic knowledge filled thesis and it gives me some enlightenment in this research field.Entry 4 The Ideational Grammatical Metaphor:A New Perspective for the Study of Poem TranslationsPublished on the Journal of Jiangnan University in April 2008, the article mainly talks about the experiential metaphor through the analysis of the three translated versions of Wang Wei’s poem “Niao Ming Jian” by Gong Jinghao, Xu Yuanchong and Y e Weilian. As we all known, the studies of Chinese poems translation is a hot issue of studies in recent years and in some universities it has even become one of the major orientation of studies in their graduate schools. That is to say, scholars and the students majoring in translation studies have paid much more attention to the study of poem translations. However, research findings in the respect are comparatively little and the findings in the study of poem translations from the perspective of the ideational grammatical metaphor are even less.After reading the article, I have plenty of enlightenment. It gives us a completely new perspective for better interpretation of a poem in the original and better appreciation of its various translated versions and provides us a new criterion for translation criticism. It shows that the grammatical metaphor could help translators make the most appropriate decisions on diction when they are faced with more than one synonymous choice. It also concludes that the hypothesis of grammatical metaphor has its peculiar advantages in assisting poem translations because the different incongruencies could carry different connotations. It provides insight into the translations of poems.As a whole, this article is well organized and well written, but there still exists some problems. The abstract in this article does not serve its function well because it is too detailed written and too much background knowledge is involved for an article. Besides, there is a blunder in this article, that is, in the reference part all the works cited are in a random order instead of an alphabetical one.As it is a rather new research area, it lacks the foundation of previous studies and its feasibility is to be doubted. Therefore, it is a little bit hard for us to do such kind of research. In our future studies, our greater effort is desired.。

An Analysis of Cohesion in Chinese and Native American’sArgumentative Writing1.Defining Key TermsCohesion and CoherenceCohesion and coherence are important terms in the study of text analysis. Halliday and Hasan view the concept of cohesion as” a semantic one” (Cohesion 4). They also define the term as “Relations of meaning that exist within the text, and that define it as a text.”(Cohesion4) In their later book, Language, Context and Text, Halliday and Hasan define cohesion and coherence as “Every text is also a context for itself. A text is characterized by Coherence, An important contribution to coherence comes from cohesion: the set of linguistic resources that every language has for linking one part of a text to another.”(48).In a word, Coherence can be created by cohesion in the way of adding some implicit meaning. As for the definition of both terms, the author agrees with Halliday and Hasan’s point of view. And this paper employs Halliday’s approach in the analysis of cohesion2.Data Collection and Analysis2.1 Data collectionThis paper is based on analysis of two argumentative writings. The topic of both essays is the debate of drinking age. The first argumentation chosen as data is a FLC freshman’s homework assignment in a key normal university from Zhejiang province. And the second essay in the data is written by John M. McCardell Jr. from . Although the two texts vary from length and perspectives of arguments, they do share the same point of view on limiting drinking age, also, the priority being to compare the cohesion in data. Some deviations like grammar mistakes in texts may possibly exist but they will not affect the results and findings. The data to be analyzed in thispaper is in the appendix.The intentions of choosing and analyzing argumentative writing as data in this paper are as follows. Firstly, argumentative writing comprised a large portion of the writing part in Chinese high school English test. Secondly, correlation studies on this type of writing are rare. As a pre-service teacher, it would be beneficial for the author to study this writing type and employ the findings into future teaching career.2.2 Methods on data analysisThis paper employed Halliday’s categories of cohesion (Cohesion 333-339) to analyze data. The methodology of analysis is as follows:1.Identify the cohesive items in each sentence.2.Figure out the cohesion typepare the results in two texts and find differencesThe types of cohesion in data are showed in two tables in the part of results of analysis.3.Results and Discussion3.1 Results of analysisAfter the analysis of two texts, the author found that differences of cohesive items and types are obvious.Firstly, the cohesive items in text 1 are relatively diversified as different words and expressions like “it” and “that” are used to create text coherence. However, the cohesive items in text 2 are severely repeated, the items “you”and “I”make up a large part in total cohesive items of this text. Secondly, the richness in types of cohesion is different in two texts. The types are almost totally different in text 1 while the result is opposite in text 2. The monotonicity of cohesion types in text 2 may partly be related to the cohesive items. However, in text 2, the bonded sentences are mostly adjacent pairs and simple lexical repetition is used most frequently; in text 1, the bonded sentences for certain cohesive items are not adjacent. Thirdly, there is a significant difference between the two text s’ rate of using paraphrases. Expressions like “The statement” and “the answer” are used in text 1 in order to refer to longer sentences or the phrases in different parts of the text. However, text 2 lacks ofrichness in the usage of paraphrase.3.2 Reasons of cohesive distinctions between two essaysThe distinction of cohesive items and types are obvious after comparing the two tables. Reasons for the variation are to be discussed in following passages.Firstly, the cohesive items in two texts are varied. After close reading of text 2, the author found the defect is totally avoidable by replacing repeated words for cohesive items or lengthening sentences in the way of combining short sentences into longer ones. The monotonous of cohesive items and types are partly due to the Chinese ways of thinking as Chinese people view repetition as an aesthetic object of language. In addition, it is universal for an English word to have inflections and derivatives, which might contribute to the variation of cohesive items in text 1(native writer). However, Chinese writer (nonnative writer) may have troubles in dealing with that. The limitedness of vocabulary for Chinese writers affected their choice of words deeply.Secondly, the richness in types of cohesion is varied in two texts. Native speakers are skilled in making connections between what they are currently saying and what they said before and use different cohesive items to attain the aim, regardless of the distance of two bonded items. However, Chinese writer may lack the ability in doing that. He or she tends to think the whole passage in Chinese, and then interpret it into English when writing it down. It’s not easy for nonnative speakers to command the English way of logical thinking, still, thinking in English is essential for English learners to advance their English language ability.Thirdly, there is a significant difference between the two text s’ rate of usingparaphrases. The problem of monotonicity in cohesive items in text 2 can be avoided if writer use some paraphrases to replace the items like “I” and “you”. The reasons for this problem may come from the influence of mother tongue Chinese. It may also have something to do with writer’s vocabulary learning habits.3.2 Implications for teaching of EFL argumentative writingArgumentative writing is an important writing style for high school students to command and comprise a large proportion of writing tests. Generally speaking, there are three factors that influence students' writing ability: Logic thinking, language knowledge and writing skill. The results and analysis of cohesive problems accrued in Chinese student’s writing can be applied to argumentative writing teaching in high school. The implications for argumentative writing teaching are as follows.Firstly, it can be seen from the analysis that native writer tend to use far more complex cohesive items and fewer simple lexical repetition than Chinese student writings. This is caused by people's logical thinking, which is a very complicated factor. It mainly refers to student's life and studying background. Mostly, Chinese students are likely to translate their ideas from Chinese into English in the process of writing unconsciously. As a result, they tend to use the same words over and over again without the awareness of different cohesive devices. Therefore the number of cohesive items used in argumentative writing is limited. And most cohesive items used are of a monotonous type and lacking variety. Wherefore it’s important for teachers to focus on the coherence of discourse when teaching English writing. Some suggestions may be helpful: Teachers should pay attention to the coherence of passages in text books when giving reading classes. Reading and writing complement each other as the former emphasizes input and latter one focuses on output; Teachers can expose students to western cultures and try to train students the western ways of logical thinking if time permits. These trainings will also enhance students’ reading speed.Secondly, language knowledge is also a crucial fact for students to improve their argumentative writing. It mainly concerns about English vocabulary and grammar. Argumentative essay is relatively academic compared with other forms of writing as the words and phrases are mainly illustrative, not descriptive. In order to improve students’writing ability, teachers can hold debate competitions in class to enlarge students’ vocabulary for argumentative writing.Finally, writing skills or so called “the ability of d iscourse”is of great importance in teaching writing. Coherence ability determines whether students' writing is a good one. Consequently, in teaching writing skills, teachers should develop students' writing ability. Teachers can analyze the coherence of texts when explaining reading comprehensions and it can attract students’attention on the coherence of texts and focus on the issue when they write essays.For Chinese high school students, English cohesion is hard to attain as they are easily affected by mother tongue Chinese. So teachers should play an important role in constructing their knowledge in coherence and cohesion. (1653 words)ReferencesHalliday, M.A.K. & Hasan. Cohesion in English.

本文主要分析了语言学当前的形势和目前存在的一些问题,语言学在发展中也充满了活力,而当前社会出现的网络词新鲜词日新月异,语言学在时代的发展中不停地发生着变化,语言学的教师和研究者也面临着新的挑战。
关键词语言学应用语言学研究语言学中的应用语言学是一个重要的科目,是一项在未来有着很大发展和创意的应用学科。
应用语言学成为一门独立的学科已经有五十多年的历史,在欧洲美国等发达国家应用语言学已经达到了蓬勃发展时期,但是在绝大多数发展中国家应用语言学仍然只是少数人的专利,由于这是一门新的学科在蓬勃发展的过程中也有很多争议和不同的看法。
笔者主要从狭义和广义的角度对语言学的研究现状发展前景做了一个分析,也阐述了语言学对社会进步的一些实际作用。
一、我国应用语言学的意义起源在我国语言学被纳入系统科学较欧美晚些,我国的应用语言学研究是在改革开放后才开始正式起步,一九七八年我国第一批语言学研究生进入学院,两年后我国语言学与英语教学探讨会正式召开,同时也出版了我国第一部应用语言学的专著出版,从此以后有关语言学的论文和著作相继发表,随着社会、文教、科技、经济、计算机、现代通讯设备、电子技术等走进生活中,语言的应用交际传递功能也得到了前所未有的扩大,应用语言学的研究范围也空前的广泛。
现阶段中语言学科同许多科目相交叉渗透,结合后又出现了许多边缘的学科,大家对应用语言学渐渐地也有了新的认识。
随着时间的推移语言学也有了较大的发展,当初的语言学在如今也发生了很大的变化,语言学现如今已经渗透到外语中去,目的是为了研究如何教授外语,这很符合当前实际的需求,也符合社会整体大发展的需要,也很符合语言学本身的发展规律。
二、语言学的当前的形势和未来的发展从语言本身的属性来说是为了人类沟通交流的一种工具,也是社会发展中所必不可少的一种工具,随着语言学这一系统科学研究的步步深入,应用语言学也开始得到很多人的关注,很多人也把目光都聚汇到这个新兴的研究领域,研究的范围也在逐步扩大当中,应用语言学是语言的一个科学,这样的属性决定了它有着无限的发展空间,语言学与其他各个学科在交叉渗透着,这也决定了语言学是属于一门综合性学科,而这种学科的认定又决定了应用语言学在实际人类生活中的必要性。

成绩大连外国语大学应用语言学基础学期论文任课教师研究方向英语词汇记忆策略年级专业姓名学号完成日期非英语专业研究生英语词汇记忆策略的实证研究摘要在二语习得中,词汇对于语言学习者有着异乎寻常的重要性,词汇是一切语言技能的基础。
探索并总结积极有效的词汇记忆策略,是减轻学生负担、培养学生英语学习兴趣、提高英语学习成绩的有效途径。
过去 20 年里,许多专家和学者做了大量的研究工作,在他们的共同努力下,英语词汇学习策略的研究有了显著的进步,也取得了很大的成绩。
大量事实已证明:掌握数量可观、记忆牢固的词汇是英语学习成功的关键。
一些学者对优秀学生的词汇学习策略进行了研究;另一些学者研究了一定群体学习者的词汇学习策略;还有的学者研究了不同性别的学习者的词汇学习策略的使用情况。
然而,以非英语专业研究生的英语词汇学习策略为研究对象的却不多。
这篇文章在回顾了国内外词汇学习策略的研究现状之后,主要以大连外国语大学非英语专业一年级的研究生为研究对象,探索了他们英语词汇记忆策略使用情况,旨在了解非英语专业研究生使用英语词汇记忆策略的情况,证明词汇学习策略训练对高一学生的英语词汇学习有积极的促进作用。
本文通过问卷调查和教学实验,试图回答以下问题:1)学生目前的英语词汇记忆策略使用现状如何?2)词汇策略训练能否提高学生词汇水平?是否有促进作用?研究结果表明:有效的词汇记忆策略能改善学生的英语学习状况,并提高其英语成绩。
非英语专业研究生常用的英语词汇学策略有很多,如构词记忆法;拼读策略;词汇表策略;语境策略;查字典策略;分类记忆策略;元认知策略等,并且使用多种词汇记忆策略的效果明显优于少量策略,掌握越多的策略越容易扩大学生的词汇记忆量。
关键词:词汇记忆策略,非英语专业研究生,AbstractIn the Second Language Acquisition, vocabulary is of great importance to language learners and also it is the basis of other language skills. Concluding effective memory strategies is the effective way to reduce the burden of English learners and to improve the education quality. In the last 20 years, a number of researchers and experts have made an effort to study the English vocabulary memory strategies, which gains greatachievements. Many facts have proved that acquiring a large number of vocabularies is essential in the successful English learning. Some experts study on the good students’ effective English vocabulary memory strategies, some try to explore the specific English vocabulary memory strategies used by a peculiar group of learners and others describe the differences of strategies between the female and the male. However, few studies are carried on the English vocabulary memory strategies of non-English major postgraduates. This paper, after reviewing the research situations of vocabulary learning strategies in China and abroad, focusing on the English vocabulary memory strategies employed by non-English major postgraduates in Dalian Foreign Language University, aims to have a general recognition of the using conditions of English vocabulary memory strategies and testify the effectiveness of Association Strategy Training to them. Based on such a background, the paper is supposed to answer the following questions: 1) how do non-English major postgraduates use the English vocabulary memory strategies? 2) Can the training of the English vocabulary memory strategies improve the st udents’ vocabulary learning? Can the strategies promote the study?The paper draws a conclusion that fostering various and effective English vocabulary memory strategies for the students are bound to improve their English competence. What’s more, the author has summarized a variety of English vocabulary memory strategies suitable for the students of the Secondary V ocational School, such as the memorizing strategies, the word formation strategies and so on. It is better to use more strategies than less ones; more English vocabulary memory strategies the subjects master, bigger vocabulary capacity they will expand.Key Words: vocabulary memory strategies, non-English major postgraduates第一章引言1.1 研究背景及现状词汇是语言知识的重要组成部分,词汇是语言表达意义的主要载体,然而,在英语学习的过程中,词汇常给学生带来很大的困难,以致经常听到一些学生抱怨自己记不住单词;即使记住了一些单词的拼写和中文意思,也不知道怎样正确地运用它们。
而这些学生中也不乏很多研究生同学。
著名的英国语言学家威尔金斯说过:“没有语法,人们可以表达的事物寥寥无几,没有词汇则无法表达任何事物。
”所以我们不能忽视词汇的作用。
因此,研究词汇记忆策略记忆如何运用它们来提高词汇记忆效率,对英语学习者的学习和英语教师的教学都有重要的指导意义(贾冠杰,1997)。
目前,我国的非英语专业研究生大部分缺少有效的记忆策略和词汇记忆策略观念,教师也很少对他们进行词汇记忆策略方面的训练和指导。
教师在课堂教学过程中,把按时完成教学计划放在首要地位,常常忽视词汇记忆策略培养,经常由学生自己完成学习单词的任务。
这样,久而久之导致学生死记硬背记住了一些单词,但很快就忘记了,有一些单词记住了还不会用。
慢慢地学生忽视或放弃了科学有效的词汇记忆策略,造成词汇学习上的困难,同时对英语学习丧失了信心。
1.2 研究意义听、说、读、写、译五大技能无不依赖对词汇的充分理解和掌握。
学生词汇量的大小在很大程度上反映其英语水平的高低,并直接影响听、说、读、写等方面能力的提高。
尽管我国广大的外语工作者做出了不懈的努力,但词汇教学还是没摆脱高投入低回报的困境。
而中国学生历来重视记忆策略,对于缺乏良好学习策略的大多数高职学生,为应付各种考试往往采用强记,所以词汇记忆策略的重要性不言而喻。
文秋芳认为,“当其它条件相同时学习策略的差异对成绩有决定性影响”学习词汇策略可以提高学生使用其它策略的自觉性和积极性。
学生了解策略的多样性并择优而用,能事半功倍。
学习词汇策略更能培养学生根据实际情况调整学习策略的能力。
因此教师如何在教学中融入策略内容,培养学生策略运用技能,值得探索。
掌握一定的词汇记忆策略,提高词汇的识记和编码水平,对词汇记忆水平和记忆效果有着积极的作用。
培养学生记忆词汇的能力,使学生掌握多种符合自身实际的记忆方法。
在教师长期、系统的教导下,学生能轻松容易地记忆单词,从而提高英语学习质量,激发学生的英语学习兴趣和动机、培养学生的自信心与主动性。
1.3 论文框架第一章是论文的引言,主要介绍论文的选题背景,现今国内学生学习英语词汇的现状,本文研究意义以及论文框架。
第二章是国内外的相关研究,包括记忆、词汇记忆策略等方面的现状研究。
第三章是词汇记忆策略理论依据及分类。
第四章是研究方法。
描述了研究问题、实验对象、实验工具、及研究过程。
第五章是整个文章的总结,包括不足及展望。
第二章文献综述2.1 国外相关研究现状Lewis(1993:89-95)认为“语言是语法化的词汇而不是词汇化的语法;词汇是语言学习的核心,而语法结构应从属于词汇。
”著名语言学D.A.Wilkins (1972:111)指出:“没有语法,表达甚微,没有词汇,表达为零。
”早在80年代初期,Meara(1980:Abstract)就曾强调:“词汇的学习、获得和掌握是外语学习者外语学习初级阶段之后学习能否成功的关键!”Gass(1988:9)认为:“当我们把交际作为外语学习的第一目标时,当我们又对这种新的语言无法自由支配时,词汇的作用将是决定性的。
