摘　　要：本文通过实证研究考察二语写作过程中词典使用对词汇使用的实际影响。数据分析结果表明,二语写作过程中,受试使用词典对其写作成绩有显在影响。具体而言,写作时使用词典有助于扩大学生使用词汇的范围,提高其词汇使用复杂度,特别是学术词汇的使用。同时,研究亦表明,学生对于学术词汇的屈折变化、派生词等形式的掌握还有待加强。鉴于此,教师有必要在写作课上对学生进行词典介入式词汇教学,需要指导学生适当使用包括学术词汇在内的低频词汇,掌握学术词汇的屈折变化和派生词等信息。Vocabulary use proves to be crucial in efficient L2 writing.As an indispensable tool for L2 learning,dictionaries have great potential for learning autonomy in general and vocabulary learning in particular.However,current studies on the influence of dictionaries on the vocabulary use of L2 writing are rather limited and empirical studies are insufficient.This empirical study is aimed at exploring the actual impact of dictionary use on learner’s lexical performance in L2 writing.The statistic results show that dictionary use does contribute to a wider vocabulary range and a higher degree of lexical sophistication,especially the more frequent use of academic words.However,problems with the use of English inflections and derivatives are quite obvious in L2 writing.In view of this,to improve the English writing performance of Chinese EFL learners,college English teachers are encouraged to recommend their students to make full use of dictionaries in their writing practice.Moreover,dictionary-integrated vocabulary teaching in L2 writing course is also in need.Chinese English learners at an advanced level should pay more attention to the proper use of low-frequency words including the academic words.And the inflections and derivatives of academic words are worth more efforts in their L2 writing.
