摘　　要：基于《中国英语能力等级量表》评价学习者语言水平,使用语料驱动的方法考察中国英语学习者写作文本中词块的使用情况,特别是不同水平英语学习者词块使用的结构与功能特点。研究结果表明:语言能力影响词块使用的准确性和多样性;词块结构方面,低水平学生倾向使用更多比例的动词词块和较少比例的短语词块,相对接近会话语篇特征,而高水平学生则倾向使用更多比例的短语词块和较少比例的动词词块,相对接近学术语篇特征;词块功能方面,立场词块和信息指示词块呈现学生水平越高使用比例越低的趋势,而语篇组织词块则呈现学生水平越高使用比例越高的趋势。研究发现对中国不同水平英语学习者语言特征的描述提供了实验证据,也为语言自动评价提供启示。Based on China's Standards of English Language Ability(CSE)to evaluate learners'language proficiency levels,a corpus-driven method is employed to examine Chinese learners'use of lexical bundles in English writing and in particular the structural and functional features of the lexical bundles used by English learners at different proficiency levels.It is found that learners'language proficiency affects the accuracy and diversity of the lexical bundles they use.Students of lower proficiency are found to use more proportion of verb bundles and less proportion of phrase bundles,showing the characteristics of conversational discourse,while students of higher proficiency use more proportion of phrase bundles and less proportion of verb bundles,displaying the characteristics of academic discourse.In terms of their functions,the higher the students'English proficiency level,the lower the proportion of stance bundles and referential bundles are used.The higher the students'English proficiency level,the higher the proportion of discourse organizing bundles.These findings may provide experimental evidence for the description of language features of Chinese English learners at different proficiency levels,and some enlightenment for automated language assessment.
