本研究调查了一组基于单词组合的措辞多样性、复杂性和复杂性测量与第二语言（L2）汉语水平和写作质量的关系，并与一组基于大粒度主题评论单元的测量进行了比较。我们的数据集包含 101 个由韩国汉语学习者在 3 个熟练程度水平上制作的经过评估的叙述。与基于大粒度主题评论单元的测量相比，多种措辞测量与质量评级和/或更大的熟练程度效应大小表现出更强的相关性。与语言特定特征相关的度量，包括基于主题评论单元的度量和基于语言特定单词组合类型的短语度量，中级和高级水平表现出比初级和中级水平更强的判别力。我们的结果还揭示了谓语相关组合在评估二语汉语短语多样性和复杂性方面的重要性。我们讨论了我们的研究结果对汉语二语写作研究和汉语二语教育学的影响。
This study investigated the relationship of a set of word-combination-based measures of phraseological diversity, sophistication, and complexity to second language (L2) Chinese proficiency and writing quality in comparison to that of a set of large-grained topic-comment-unit-based measures. Our dataset consisted of 101 assessed narratives produced by Korean learners of Chinese as a L2 at 3 proficiency levels. Multiple phraseological measures exhibited stronger correlations with quality ratings and/or larger effect sizes for proficiency than did the large-grained topic-comment-unit-based measures. Measures pertaining to language-specific features, including topic-comment-unit-based measures and phraseological measures based on language-specific word combination types, exhibited stronger discriminative power for intermediate and advanced levels than for beginning and intermediate levels. Our results also revealed the importance of predicate-related combinations in assessing L2 Chinese phraseological diversity and complexity. We discuss the implications of our findings for L2 Chinese writing research and L2 Chinese pedagogy.
