| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺中教育大學 === 語文教育學系華語文教學碩士班 === 105 === In Mandarin Chinese, the Utterance-Final particle can indicate speakers’ various feelings, attitudes and emotions. Common Utterance-Final particles include MA, NE, A, and BA. The Utterance-Final particle is hard for foreign learners because of its insufficient meaning. Therefore, this induces teaching difficulties for Chinese teachers. And it makes learners confused and avoids using it. Using the Utterance-Final particle should take both context and collocation into consideration. It might weaken the meaning of the conversation and could not convey ezactly what the speaker means when the Utterance-Final particle is deleted or wrongly replaced by another one.
The research aims at the Utterance-Final particle NE. Firstly, reclassify NE research before sorting it in modern spoken corpus. The corpus in the research includes the Chinese corpus of the NCCU Corpus of Spoken Chinese and reality TV program Dad, where are we going? The research also analyses two textbooks, including Practicle Audio-Visual Chinese and Fareast Everyday Chinese. Finally, the research offers some supplementary materials for teaching NE.
By corpus analysis, NE in modern Mandarin Chinese can be categorized in three kinds in question forms, and four kinds in statement forms. In addition, the findings indicate nineteen common collocations of NE, and their average contexts. The corpus reflects real language in real content, aand thus can be reference for teaching.
The research provides supplementary materials for teaching the Utterance-Final NE as well as suggestions for teaching steps, including context, collocation and example sentences. Hopefully, the findings contribute to the teaching of NE by bridging language research and teaching practice.
