摘要: 文章采用语料库统计方法,从英语国家语料库(BNC)的口语子语料库中提取了40个英语介词的语料,分析了英语介词的时间语义及其用法。分析发现:在英语本族语者的口语表达中,时间语义的使用在介词的总体使用中所占的比重不高;本族语者更多地使用时段语义来表达时间;他们所使用的介词时间语义大多具有方向性;他们较多使用表射线型时间的介词;并且介词后面搭配的时间词一般为表一日以内的小时间,而且大多为间接时间词;这些介词常用在过去的时间中。通过探究以上结论,挖掘其内部原因,以期激发广大英语从业者对英语介词时间用法的兴趣,加深对英语时间理念的理解,并减少跨文化交际的障碍。

Abstract: FFI refers to the instruction involving language form, which includes Focus on Forms (FonFS), Focus on Form (FonF), and Focus on Form and Function (FonFF). FonFF intends to integrate language form and function effectively, and has great value for pragmatic teaching of a foreign language. With 207 college non-English majors as the participants and English request as the target pragmatic form, the present study explores the effect of different FFI devices on the learners' acquisition of target pragmatic form. The results show that three FFI devices facilitate the learners' acquisition of pragmatic form to some extent compared with the device of Focus on Meaning (FonM). In addition, as to the three FFI devices, FonFF is superior to FonFS and FonF, while FonFS is better than FonF. As a result, the present study verifies the efficiency and superiority of FonFF.
