【摘要】 大学英语教材在当今我国的大学英语教学中具有非常重要的地位。对教师而言，具体的备课、内容讲解、以及对学生学习效果的评估离不开大学英语教材；对学生而言，知识点的汲取与建构、词汇的习得、跨文化交际能力的学习、课后复习和备考四六级考试等也离不开大学英语教材。虽然大学英语教材在大学英语的课程与教学中具有着非常重要研究价值，但是长期以来对我国现行主流大学英语教材的相关研究却存在着研究范围不明、研究内容缺乏深入性、研究方法缺少科学性等不合理情况。本研究在实地调研的基础上研究了四套我国现行主流的大学英语教材，并运用统计学和语料库等相对科学的研究手段比较深入地探讨了课文词汇的编制和构成问题。根据《大学英语课程教学要求》内的具体参考词表及参考词组表的规定，本研究最终得到了可以直接运用到教学当中的补充词表和词组表，为使用这些教材的学生和教师提供了具有实用价值的第一手教学参考资料。本研究主要包含了六个章节。它们是：引论、文献回顾、研究范围的选取及语料库的制定、教材的内容及组成形式的研究、教材词汇结构语料库对比研究以及总结与展望等部分。第一章引论部分由研究缘起、核心概念的梳理及界定、理论基础等四部分构成，主要探讨了以下三个问题：1.从宏观的角度阐述了这方面研究的重要性、迫切性以及以往研究的不足之处；2.本研究的研究对象范围的划定；3.几个重要的二语习得及语言学理论流派。本研究在此章节的第4部分提出了研究问题和假设，并在说明本研究所应遵循的基本原则基础上拟定了三个具体的研究问题：即基本形式及内容分析、词汇初级研究、词汇覆盖率和复现率研究等。第二章文献部分参考了中国国家图书馆的相关资料，并结合本研究具体的研究范围梳理了大学英语教材编写理论介绍、教材评价研究、语料库语言学的发展、大学英语教材词汇研究的相关文献。本部分通过定量和定性相结合的方法充分回顾了相关的研究进展成果，并指明了以往研究的不足之处。研究的第三章是针对以往研究缺少明确说明的基础上单独列出的，这部分包含研究范围的选取以及语料库的具体制作两个实证操作内容。为了确定本研究的范围，笔者在梳理相关文献的基础上亲自在上海和西安各大高校进行了实地的调研，最终选定了四本我国现行主流的大学英语教材作为研究对象。教材语料库的制作也严格按照制定的标准进行。第四章研究了以往研究缺少的一个话题——当前我国四套主流大学英语教材内容及组成形式。这部分的研究是按照划定的标准，结合统计学所做出的实证研究。作为一个重要的补充性研究，本部分的研究有助于各高校大学英语教研室根据自己的实际情况酌情选择教材，本研究也为之后的大学英语教材语料库相关研究做了一个很好的铺垫。本文的第五章是本研究的核心内容。该部分研究通过借助语料库软件WordSmith Tools以及Range等对语料库的数据进行了科学的统计分析，并结合定量与定性相结合的手段对教材词汇问题展开了比较全面的剖析。本研究结论基本反映了四套教材中词汇结构的基本特征，为各出版社编辑和改进教材提供了第一手的参考资料。值得一提的是：本研究产出的词汇表和词组表是针对《大学英语课程教学要求》的参考词汇表和词组表编写的，并在教材缺失的基础上做出的，因此对于学生、教师以及出版社均具有很强的参考价值。最后一章总结和展望部分总结了本文的主要结论、贡献以及不足之处。希望这部分的具体结论能对今后相关的研究者有一定的启示意义。更多还原

【Abstract】 It is acknowledged that college English coursebooks are of greatimportance in the formation and implementation of college Englishcurriculum and instruction in China. As for the teachers, it is impossiblefor them to prepare lessons, to explain detailed knowledge to thestudents and to evaluate the learning results of the students if theyteach without a coursebook. For the students, the coursebook will helpthem to construct the specific knowledge points, to acquire new words,to get access to cross-cultural communication abilities, to review thelearnt lessons and to prepare for the College English Tests (Band4andBand6).Although there is almost no doubt to shed some light for someserious studies on the college English coursebooks, it is surprising to findthat the related studies in China still have so many shortcomings for along time. These pitfalls include:1. the scope of the study is unclear.2.the related studies lack in-depth ones.3. the methodology adopted bymost studies lacks scientific basis and therefore unrepeatable. Based ona field investigation as plot work, this study examines four sets of majorcollege English coursebooks in China currently. By applying statisticsand corpus technology as relative scientific bases, this study discussesthe lexical constitution as well as the formation of the texts in thesecoursebooks. According to the reference wordlist and phraselistrequirement in College English Curriculum Requirement authorized bythe Bureau of Higher Education, China’s Ministry of Education, this studyfinally get the complementary wordlist as well as the complementaryphraselist as the research results. These first-hand complementary listswill greatly benefit those college English teachers and students inteaching and learning in utility.The content of this study consists of the introduction, the literature review, the scope selection in the study and the compilation of thecorpus, the subject content and the form construction of differentcoursebooks, the corpus-based comparative study of lexicalconstruction as well as the conclusion and outlook for further studies.The first Chapter, i.e. the introduction part of this study, consists ofthree major subparts, namely the origin of the research, defining somecore-concepts, theoretical basis. This part of the research discusses thefollowing three points respectively:1. the importance, urgency and thepitfalls of the pervious related research from a macroscopic view.2. apreliminary scope of the research range.3. important theories andschools in SLA and general linguistics. Based on the definition of therudimentary principles that this study should follow, three specificresearch questions and research hypotheses are formed in the part4ofthis chapter. They are the basic form and content analysis, thepreliminary lexical research and the lexical coverage and lexicalrepetition.The second Chapter is the literature review. This chapter isaccomplished on the basis of the related documents in the NationalLibrary of China as well as a concentration on the more relatedresearch within this study. This part reviews different schools incoursebook writing, the college English coursebook evaluation studies,the advancement of the corpus linguistics and the related study onlexical research in college English coursebooks. The literature reviewpart adopts both the quantitative and the qualitative methods, and atlast conclude some shortcomings of the pervious studies.The third Chapter is listed some shortcomings out from the perviousstudies. This part defines the research scope and the compilation of thecorpus. In order to define the scope of the coursebook selection, a fieldstudy as a plot work was carried out in two Chinese major cities, viz,Shanghai and Xi’an, where colleges are relatively amassed, and finally selected four sets of coursebooks for this study. The compilation of thecorpus also follows a standard based on a tough criterion.The Chapter four deals with questions the pervious researcheslacked, namely the content and the form of the college Englishcoursebooks. This part is also an empirical research based on theestablished standards, and this subbranch study is carried out byapplying the methods of statistics. As a very important supplementarystudy, this part of the study will help those basic English sections oroffices in different universities to select the most appropriate materialsaccording to their own conditions. Furthermore, the study in thischapter also paves the way for further and better analysis of the latercorpus research.The Chapter five is the core of the whole thesis. By adoption of thetechnology from the corpus linguistics, the WordSmith Tools and othersoftwares such as Range are used in this study. By using bothquantitative and the qualitative methods, this part gives a scientificanalysis on the two major lexical research questions proposed inchapter three. This research had generally figured out the lexicalconstitution within the four sets of textbooks, and therefore providedfirsthand references information for those college English coursebookpublishers. It is also worth noting that the complementary wordlist as wellas the complementary phraselist from this study is directly based on theofficial College English Curriculum Requirement reference wordlist andphraselist, the complementary lists are words and phrases whichappeared in the College English Curriculum Requirement but missed indifferent sets of coursebooks. Therefore, the complementary wordlistsand the phrselist will play a good reference role for students, teachersand publishers.The last chapter is the conclusion and outlook part. It concludes thespecific findings of the study, the major contribution of the study and the shortcomings of the study. It will serve as an inspiration andenlightment for scholars who have same interests in the relatedresearch.更多还原
