对说话者来说,一个宝贵的资源是他/她说话的语境,如果不能充分利用它,就会导致谈话显示出不必要和不适当的清晰度,或者无法达到足够的清晰度。使用本族语者和非本族语者的会话语料库,它表明,非本族语者的口语的一个特点是不适当的使用的程度和方式,其中的不明确性是体现在话语。其他因素,如重复,语言能力,文化图式,和1.1迁移也有助于不同程度的非母语会话的费解。建议我们如何帮助我们的学生获得和练习所需的技能和技巧,以达到更适当的水平,在他们的英语口语的费解。
An invaluable resource to a speaker is the context in which he/she is speaking and failure to utilize it fully will result in the conversation displaying an unnecessary and inappropriate level of explicitness, or failing to reach an adequate level of intelligibility. Using a corpus of native speaker and non-native speaker conversations, it is shown that a characteristic of non-native speakers' spoken language is the inappropriate level of inexplicitness used and the ways in which inexplicitness is manifested in the discourse. Additional factors such as repetition, linguistic competence, cultural schemata, and 1.1 transfer also contribute to the different levels of inexplicitness in non-native conversational utterances. Suggestions are made as to how we might help our students to acquire and practise the skills and techniques required to achieve a more appropriate level of inexplicitness in their spoken English.
