摘要
从语言类型学的角度 ,比较了英语和汉语的语言特征 ,认为英语是主谓结构语言 ,突出的是主语 ;而汉语是“话题—说明”结构语言 ,突出的是话题。在此基础上 ,明确指出中国学生在学习英语过程中由于受到汉语“话题—说明”思维方式的影响 ,容易产生负迁移现象 ,即把汉语的主谓词组、动宾词组以及时间、处所短语当作英语的主语 ,把汉语的主题成分当作英语的主语 ,把汉语的被动结构当作英语的主动结构等。
Linguists classify English as a subject prominent language with “subject-predicate” as its basic sentence structure and Chinese as a topic prominent language with “topic-comment” as its basic sentence structure. Since there are great differences between subject and topic in function and structure, Chinese students obviously meet some interference from their mother tongue in English learning. Aspects of this negative transfer are examined in this paper.
