摘　　要：The present paper carries a corpus-based study on the use of adverbial conjuncts in order to reveal the difference between Chinese EFL learners and native speakers. It is based on two corpora of CLEC and LOB. According to the data-driven analysis, the research shows that Chinese EFL learners tend to overuse listing conjuncts while underuse other categories. This may result from the limitation of writing topics and the lack of cohesion in their writings. Besides, the incomplete understanding of adverbial conjuncts may cause the avoiding of certain conjuncts and thus turning to the easier listing conjuncts for help.本文通过语料库索引软件MicroConcord,对连接副词分别在CLEC和LOB两个平行语料库逐一检索,并对检索结果进行了定量和定性的分析讨论。结果表明,中国英语学习者连接副词的使用情况与英语母语作者相比,在频度上呈现出使用过度的趋势。在连接副词的五个功能类中,中国英语学习者尤其趋向于过度使用表示列举的连接副词( listing conjunctive)。这主要是由于文体受限,文章上下文之间缺乏逻辑关系,以及由于对某些连接副词的语义缺乏准确的理解而导致使用时信心不足造成的。
