摘　　要：本研究借助英国英语语料库(CLOB)和英国学术英语语料库(BAWE)中的部分语料,调查了二语学习者和母语学习者在学术写作中连接副词的使用特征。结果显示,两类学习者的连接副词使用总频率及语义类别都显著高于母语专业作者;二语学习者和母语学习者都依赖于高频连接副词来实现语篇衔接,但前者连接副词的使用总频率、超用词数量均高于后者,而且存在"besides"一词的误用;两类学习者在自然科学和生命科学及医学中使用连接副词的总频率及语义类别分布都不及社会科学和人文科学;连接副词的语义分布在三类人群中和四大学科中基本一致:呈现增补>转折>因果>顺序的基本趋势。本研究说明了学习者普遍存在连接副词过度使用和语义上差别辨析不够的现象,并揭示了学术写作中副词连接手段分布的规律。By means of parts of British English corpus（CLOB）and British academic English corpus（BAWE）,this study reveals native and SL learners＇ characteristics of linking adverbials（LAs）use in their academic writing.The results show that the overall frequency of LAs and their semantic categories used by two groups of learners are significantly higher than that used by the professional writers.SL learners＇ and native learners depend on high frequency LAs to achieve textual cohesion.The former＇s overall frequency and overuse number of LAs are higher than those of the latter. ＂Besides＂ is identified as misused by SL learners.Overall frequency of LAs and their semantic categories used by two groups of learners in disciplinary groups of physical sciences,Life Sciences and Medicine are lower than those of Social Sciences and Arts and Humanities.The distribution of different semantic categories of LAs is about the same in both three groups of people and four disciplinary groups,which shows the basic trend of additive adversative casual sequential.Research findings of this study demonstrate that learners generally overuse LAs and lack a full understanding of semantic properties of LAs,and it discovers the distribution of adverbials linking devices in academic writing.
