摘　　要：The goal of this study is to compare the use of plural forms of the first personal pronouns by native English speakers andChinese EFL learners in their argumentative essays from the aspect of collocation,based on English native college students’writ-ten-English corpus LOCNESS and Chinese learner corpus of written-English WECCL.The results showed that under the influenceof the oral features of written English of Chinese EFL learners,the transferability of native language,and the collective value of Chi-nese culture,Chinese EFL learners overuse the plural forms of the first personal pronoun"we"and"our"in the argumentative es-says and often collocate"we"with auxiliary verbs"should""must",which are not commonly used in argumentative essays of na-tives students.
