Adjective Intensification-Learners Versus Native Speakers: A Corpus Study of Argumentative Writing (Language and Computers) 図書館 – 1999/1/1

英語版 Gunter R. Lorenz (著)

This volume represents one of the first full-length studies carried out on material from the International Corpus of Learner English (ICLE), supplemented by data from younger learners and native speakers. It addresses three main goals:
a) the implementation of a developmental corpus methodology. The study explores four corpora of argumentative writing, two sampled from advanced learners of different ages and two from corresponding native speakers of English. This way, the respective linguistic maturation in native and non-native writing can be traced with more explanatory power than could be yielded by a mere learner / native speaker contrast.
b) a functional account of adjective intensification in present-day written English. Intensification is a singularly dynamic and innovative lexico-grammatical class. Despite their obvious limitations, small, text-type controlled corpora, such as the ones used here, make it feasible to examine this whole functional paradigm and identify the conceptual mechanisms of its continual innovation and semantic change.
c) the exploration of native vs. non-native usage and the notion of idiomaticity. The main differences between native English usage and that of advanced learners rest not so much on grammatical structure, but on the rather elusive quality of 'idiomaticity'. In the limited domain of intensification, this notion is explored both qualitatively and arithmetically, with the aim of learning more about what it takes to use English idiomatically.

レビュー

"In sum, the study impresses by its wealth of descriptive detail and analytical insight … Since the study is not only well argued but also well written, it can be recommended without reservation. A rewarding read." - in: Zeitschrift für Anglistik und Amerikanistik 2004, 1 "The book has no fewer than eleven appendixes …which means that all his findings are verifiable … [Lorenz] provides sound explanations … argues his points convincingly … the book is well written, with a dose of humour, which makes it a pleasure to read … meticulously edited …In short, this is an excellent book. It is a solid account of a solid research project well carried out." - in: English Studies, Vol. 83, No. 1 (February 2002) "…highly recommended to readers interested in functional grammar, corpus linguistics, and TEFL [Teaching English as a Foreign Language]." – Georg Marko, in: Arbeiten aus Anglistik und Amerikanistik 26:2 (2001), pp 224-29 "The study is particularly interesting with regard to pedagogy and corpus methodology, but it has also descriptive implications, which should be of great heuristic value. … the topic under investigation is not only original and well researched, the findings are also well presented … reader-friendly and clear. The book is a good read. I sincerely recommend it." - in: Applied Linguistics 21:4 (Dec 2000), pp. 581-85 Another review, by Manfred Krug, appeared in English Language and Linguistics 5:1 (May 2001), pp. 188-93.
