摘　　要：英语定冠词的使用频率极高并且难度大,是不同阶段英语学习者面临的主要困难之一。研究采用随堂测试和统计的方式,调查英语专业学生定冠词非类指文化用法和零冠词的习得情况。研究发现,“部位或器官”类名词或短语前漏用定冠词的比例最高;“自然景观”类名词或短语前定冠词过度使用的比例最高;用在特指性或确定性非常低的语境中名词前零冠词误用比率较高。误用的原因主要包括语法和词汇知识掌握不准确以及语境概念不清,本研究也提出了相应的教学建议。English learners of different learning stages are inevitably faced with the high frequency and enormous difficulty of English definite articles.The study investigates English majors’non-generic cultural usage of definite articles and acquisition of zero articles by classroom test and relative statistics.Three serious cases found are the omission of definite articles before nouns or phrases of“body parts or organs”,the overuse of definite articles before nouns or phrases of“natural landscape”,and the misuse of zero articles before nouns with very low specificity or certainty.The causes lie in the inaccurate knowledge of grammar and vocabulary as well as unclear concepts of context.The corresponding teaching suggestions are then put forward.
