초록

A lot of lexical misuse problems in the foreign language learning concern near-synonyms. Most L2 learners are not good at the subtle semantic distinctions among near-synonyms. Near-synonyms are words that means nearly the same thing. The purpose of this study is to recognize their collocational differences in the context of corpora to improve L2 lexical learning. This study tries to identify subtle difference between near-synonyms of transitive verbs for the verbs can serve as an effective tool for it. Questionnaires are conducted to 40 English-major students to compare the effects of the corpus-based approach with the ones of the traditional approach to discerning near-synonymous pairs. In this survey the students are asked their opinions of usefulness of the three ways ― English-Korean dictionaries, CTRW, and corpora ― to learn the usage of near synonyms. The test result of the subjects' perception of usefulness have proved that the corpus approach is the best way of recognizing the semantic differences of near-synonyms.

Abstract

A lot of lexical misuse problems in the foreign language learning concern near-synonyms. Most L2 learners are not good at the subtle semantic distinctions among near-synonyms. Near-synonyms are words that means nearly the same thing. The purpose of this study is to recognize their collocational differences in the context of corpora to improve L2 lexical learning. This study tries to identify subtle difference between near-synonyms of transitive verbs for the verbs can serve as an effective tool for it. Questionnaires are conducted to 40 English-major students to compare the effects of the corpus-based approach with the ones of the traditional approach to discerning near-synonymous pairs. In this survey the students are asked their opinions of usefulness of the three ways ― English-Korean dictionaries, CTRW, and corpora ― to learn the usage of near synonyms. The test result of the subjects' perception of usefulness have proved that the corpus approach is the best way of recognizing the semantic differences of near-synonyms.
