Training and development of materials to improve the semantic characteristic analytical abilities of Japanese language teachers

本研究以日语教师进修学校的实习生和日本大学生为对象，针对语言特点进行同义词分析，探讨其中的一些问题。结果表明：1）在学习正确的例句时，受试者往往不能成功地提取同义词的抽象语义特征; 2）在比较两个同义词的语义特征时，受试者使用了不恰当的标准，不能均匀地应用于其中一个同义词，这可能会降低他们分析的合法性;（3）在解释同义词的语义特征时，无论是学员还是大学生，都多使用基本的日常用语，而不是能准确、简洁地表达同义词之间区别的抽象表达。有了这些发现，我们创建了战略培训材料，以帮助提高同义词的分析，侧重于语言特征。

This study investigated some of the problems with a synonym analysis focusing on linguistic characteristics conducted by trainees of Japanese teacher training schools and Japanese college students. The results indicated the following: 1) The trainees tended to fail in successfully extracting abstract semantic characteristics of synonyms when studying correct example sentences; 2) When investigating semantic characteristics by comparing two synonyms, the trainees used inappropriate criteria that couldn't be applied evenly to one of the synonyms, which may lower the legitimacy of their analysis; 3) When explaining semantic characteristics of synonyms, both the trainees and the college students often used basic daily words or expressions instead of abstract expressions that could accurately and simply show the distinctiveness between synonyms. With these findings, we created strategic training materials to help improve analysis of synonyms focusing on linguistic characteristics.
