- 研究成果概要
- The present study used manual analysis of essays from 8 first language (L1) groups sourced from the International Corpus Network of Asian Learners of English to uncover statistically significant differences in the use of linking adverbials (e.g., furthermore, on the other hand, in addition) by each L1 group. The first manuscript from this data set (Appel, in press) targeted L1 Chinese, L1 Indonesian, and L1 Korean writers of second language (L2) English with major findings including relative overuse of resultative linking adverbials (e.g., therefore) by L1 Korean writers, transitions (e.g., nowadays) by L1 Chinese writers, and underuse of contrastive linking adverbials (e.g., however) by L1 Indonesian writers of L2 English. Since the data extraction went ahead of schedule, I was able to collect sufficient data to begin work on a second manuscript targeting L1 Chinese, L1 Arabic, and L1 English writers. This study is currently in preparation and I am to submit this second manuscript by the end of the summer. I believe I should also be able to start working on a third manuscript from this same data set over the summer break.
