摘要
探讨性别对非英语专业学生写作词汇丰富性四个维度的影响,结果表明:性别对词汇错误影响最大,其次为词汇复杂性,对写作词汇多样性和词汇密度影响很小。其中男性词汇复杂性稍高于女性,但差距不大;男、女性出现最多的词汇错误均为拼写错误,不同的是,男性更常出现搭配错误和冠词错误,女性更容易出现动词错误。
It explored the effect of gender in this paper on lexical diversity of writing of non-English major students from four perspectives.It was concluded that gender exerts greatest influence on lexical error,followed by lexical sophistication.Its impact,however,on lexical variation and lexical density is negligible.Male students' lexical sophistication is a little higher than that of female students.Spelling error is the most frequent lexical error for both male and female students.The difference is that male students tend to make more collocation errors and article errors while female students are more likely to misuse verbs.
