分析了中国学生英语笔语语料库(WECCL)中without的使用情况,目的在于探索中国英语学习者的中介语发展特征。结果发现:without的搭配偏于单一,约30%的搭配只有一个名词,语法错误占一定比例主要表现为缺少-ing标记;语义不清,把without简单用作“不,没有”。在无法准确表达意思时,借助于母语词汇的逐词翻译。主要原因是受母语迁移影响,二语学习者过度依赖常用词语和高频率搭配模式。母语为其它语言的英语学习者以及本族语者的without的使用情况有待进一步研究。 The usage of without in WECCL is analyzed to explore the characteristics of Chinese EFL learners’ interlanguage development. The results showed that: with no preference for a single, about 30% with only a noun, a certain percentage of grammatical errors mainly for the lack of-ing mark; semantic unclear, without simply as “no, no ”. In the inability to accurately express meaning, with the help of the word-by-word translation of the mother tongue. The main reason is that affected by mother-tongue migration, second language learners are overly dependent on commonly used words and high-frequency patterns. The use of without by native speakers of English and other native speakers is for further study.
