摘要
本研究收集学生针对两组不同熟悉程度话题完成的应试作文,采用自动测量方法进行分析,并从中提取出几类与语篇衔接性有关的变量展开统计分析,结果显示:话题熟悉程度未对文本中连接语整体使用产生显著影响,但它对词语重复与照应手段运用均产生显著影响;宏观分析结果揭露出受试写作能力还较为薄弱。
The present study is to explore how cohesion devices are used in essays by a group of non-English major students responding toward a multiple writing task of two types of topics,i.e.,one showing a higher degree of familiarity to the subjects,and the other at a low-level familiarity.The corpora are collected under the testing situation,which are run on Coh-Metrix（2.0）,a natural language processing tool,from which the indices measures relevant to text cohesion are elicited and further analyzed through Statistic Package for Social Science（SPSS：16.0）.The analysis results show that topic familiarity exerts no significant effect on the overall use of connectives,yet causes a significant difference in both referential indices measure and lexical repetition/reiteration measure.A follow-up,global analysis of the cohesive devices sheds light on the subjects＇ weakness in writing.
