摘要(Abstract)：
本文运用语料库的研究方法,对不同程度的中国非英语专业大学生使用连接副词的现象进行了分析。本研究发现:中国学习者在议论文中连接副词的使用频率和作文分数的高低有较高的相关性。高分组的学习者比低分组的学习者使用更多次数和类别的连接副词,在连接副词的使用上具有较强的语体意识。
This paper reports a corpus-based study on the use of adverbial connectors by Chinese non-English major EFL learners with different English proficiency levels. Research results show that there is a significant correlation between the learners' use of adverbial connectors and their writing quality. The Chinese learners with higher linguistic proficiency use more tokens and types of adverbial connectors and perform better in the use of adverbial connectors in terms of stylistic awareness in their writings than those with lower linguistic proficiency.
