摘　　要：本研究通过分析大学英语四、六级考生的口语语料,揭示了不同级别学习者在口头讨论中的词汇特征,对《中国英语能力等级量表》口语分量表进行效度验证。研究发现:1)中国英语学习者词汇指标的显著差异主要存在于初级和中级学习者之间,而初级和中级内部级别差异不明显;2)级别越高,学习者越倾向于在口头互动中使用低频词和词组;3)不同级别中国英语学习者在口头互动中的词汇指标上的发展趋势符合基于使用的语言习得理论。总体上,《中国英语能力等级量表》口语分量表具有较高的效度。This study attempts to reveal the lexical features in oral interactions of EFL learners across different CSE levels and thus verifies the validity of the speaking scale of CSE by analyzing the oral data of CET-SET candidates.The findings suggest that significant differences in lexical indices mainly exist between beginner level and intermediate level while internal differences in either level are not significant.The results also reveal that low frequency words and N-grams are increasingly used as CSE levels increase.In conclusion,the developing pattern of lexical indices in oral interactions of Chinese EFL learners of different CSE levels is consistent with the use-oriented language acquisition theory and thus the speaking scale of CSE is of high validity.
