Second Language Vocabulary Acquisition Strategies 二语词汇习得策略 [摘 要] 词汇是构成语言的基本单位，词汇习得在语言学习中占有重要地位。英国著名语言学家. Wilkins (1972) 说过：“没有语法，人们不能表达很多东西；而没有词汇，人们则无法表达任何东西。”这就说明了词汇在学习中的重要性。本文旨在分析二语词汇习得策略并应用于不同水平的学习者。学习者根据自己的水平选择正确的习得方法和策略学习词汇，从而提高学习效率和习得效果。 关键字： 二语词汇习得 词汇习得策略 元认知策略 认知策略 Abstract Vocabulary is the basic unit of a language. Language acquisition plays an important role in language learning. Famous linguistics D. A. Wilkins said, “Without grammar, very little can be conveyed, without vocabulary, nothing can be conveyed (Lewis, 1993:16).” It speaks volumes for the importance of vocabulary in language learning. This paper aims to analysis the second language acquisition strategies and applies to different levels of learners. According to the different levels, the learners should choose the proper methods and strategies to promote learning efficiency and acquisition effect. Key words: Second Language Vocabulary Acquisition； Vocabulary Acquisition Strategies； Metacognitive strategy； Cognitive strategy Introduction With economic globalization and multi-polarization of the world, especially the population of the internet, English becomes more and more important, because it is considered as the tool for absorbing and communicating information. As we all known, vocabulary acquisition is one of the most noticed-question of the second language learners. “Vocabulary” appears in the area of linguists’ study. Nowadays, researchers still can not give a complete and reasonable definition of vocabulary. Since 1970s, the second language vocabulary acquisition research has gradually become the hot point and important subject in the second language vocabulary acquisition research area. These researches aim to discuss the efficiency vocabulary memory strategies to promote the memory skills and vocabulary levels. Then how to acquire vocabulary become popular among the researchers. Wenden &Rubin (1987), O’Malley& Chamot (1990) refer to the content of vocabulary acquisition strategies; Rubin (1987) and Oxford (1990) classify the memory strategy to the direct cognitive strategies. Especially, CohenAphek (1981), Porte (1988), O’Malley (1990), Vann (90), Cohen (1990), etc made a basic searching of vocabulary acquisition. In a word, there are various opinions in how to acquire vocabulary. Firstly, it talks about the importance of vocabulary. Secondly, what does it mean to “acquire” a word? This paper mainly aims to the detail analysis of the vocabulary acquisition from three aspects：Meta-cognitive Strategy; Cognitive Strategy and Social or Affective Strategy. Especially, it highlights the effect of the context and rending to vocabulary acquisition. This paper talks about the applications of the vocabulary acquisition strategies. And it puts forward some problems and difficulties of vocabulary acquisition. This paper also discusses the influencing factors to the acquisition. It includes the mother tongue, age, language contact, logical thinking ability, identity degree, and academic motivation . The purpose of this paper is to rise the awareness of English learners that the importance of vocabulary in language learning and the vocabulary acquisition strategies can not be neglected, and each strategies is deeply rooted in its language. Through the analysis of the theory of study, the paper tries to draw the learner’s attention to the strategies of the second language vocabulary acquisition and using the vocabulary in communication. In order to improve the acquisition efficiency, some strategies put into practice are introduced. The first presents the importance of vocabulary, some basic concepts of vocabulary and vocabulary learning, the second part tells what does it mean to know a word, the third part deals with the theory of vocabulary acquisition and presents the factors and differences influencing the vocabulary acquisition. The fourth part is detailed discussion of vocabulary acquisition strategies in different levels of learners. The last part is conclusion. Literature review 1. The importance of vocabulary As the first time, when we go to school and our English teacher will tell us that vocabulary is of great importance in learning English. After several years, we understand words gradually, especially when we study in high school. If we know a little about vocabulary, we may have poor English. That is because the listening, speaking, reading and writing show the necessary of learning vocabulary. Many researchers agree that lexis is at least as important as structure, because it is using wrong words and not wrong grammar that usually breaks down communication. Mistakes in lexis much more often lead to misunderstanding and may be less generously tolerated outside classroom than mistakes in syntax. (Carter, 1987). As Stephen Krashen remarked, “When students travel, they don’t carry grammar books, they carry dictionaries. A significant role of vocabulary in both teaching and learning processes was first stated by Stephen Krashen in The Natural Approach (1985): “Vocabulary is basic for communication. If acquirers do not recognize the meaning of the key words used by those who address them they will be unable to participate in the conversation.” Words are basic tools in human communication; therefore they determine the main part of people’s life-relationships between people and associations with the surrounding world that people live in. The larger one’s vocabulary, the easier it is to express one’s thoughts and feelings. In real communication, correctly and idiomatically used vocabulary can even decrease some structural inaccuracy and grammar errors. (Zhang Jiying, 2002). So learners should enrich and expand their knowledge of words as much as possible in order to communicate effectively in a foreign language. 2. What does it mean to “know” a word? Knowing a word is not a simple phenomenon. In fact, it is quite complex and goes far beyond the word’s meaning and pronunciation. (Zhang Jiying, 2002). Richards (1976) think knowing a word means also knowing the frequency of words and their likely collocates; being aware of the functional and situation limitations that apply; knowledge of the “syntactic behavior”; derivational forms and word class; associative and connotative knowledge; semantic value-breaking down words into minimal units as with componential analysis (see Katz&Fodor1963or Leech1974); knowing the other (possible) meaning associated. Nagy and Scott (2000) identify several dimensions that describe the complexity of what it means to know a word. First, word knowledge is incremental, which means that readers need to have many exposures to a word in different contexts before they “know” it. Second, word knowledge is multidimensional. This is because many words have multiple meanings and serve different functions in different function in different sentences, texts, and even conversations. Third, word knowledge is interrelated in that knowledge of one word connects knowledge of other words. What all of this means is that “knowing” a word is a matter of degree rather than an all-or-nothing proposition (Beck&Mckeown, 1991; Nagy&Scott, 2000). The degree of knowing a word are reflected in the precision with which we use a word, how quickly we understand a word, and how well we understand and use words in different modes and different purpose. The memory strategy, cognitive strategy, social strategy and metacognitve strategy are used more frequently than the affective strategy and compensative strategy. Conclusion This paper has attempted to provide some theories of second language vocabulary acquisition and some strategies. Such as metacognitive strategy, cognitive strategy, and social strategy. However, this paper also put forward some microcosmic strategy. As a matter of fact, vocabulary acquisition should combine the context. In addition, this paper hasn’t mentioned that culture is also an important factor in vocabulary acquisition. In the study of second language vocabulary acquisition, we should pay attention to the process and the acquiring results. This paper focuses on the study of the second language vocabulary acquisition strategies. Bibliography [1] . Chamot. The Learning Strategies of ESL Students. In A. L. Wenden & J.

替你找了两篇1）关于《语言学概论》的一点学习心得《语言学概论》这本书主要介绍语言学的基础理论，了解语言的性质、功能以及它的结构。掌握语言的现状、变化以及一般的发展规律。它是一门多边缘、多层次的立体性学科。它和社会科学、自然科学、思维科学都有着紧密的联系。在交叉科学日益发展的今天，语言学显得越发重要。通过读书，以及自己原有的一些观念，我对语言现在是这样认识的：语言是一种社会现象，它是我们人类特有的。语言与我们的思维有着密切的关系。语言是最重要的交际工具。以前，一直以为语言是与生俱来的，是平常生活中看似最简单不过的现象。通过这本书的学习发现，其实不然，原来越是简单的事越是有大奥妙。说话、写文章都要遵循语法规律。从婴儿时期的呀呀学语，到长大成人规范地使用语言，在不同的场合说不同的语言，人们互相学习各种不同的语言，学习一定的语言学知识，可以更好地帮助我们理性地认识它，并且更好地掌握它，更好地为以后的学习、工作、生活服务。2）《英语语言学概论》学习心得当我第一次翻开《英语语言学概论》的教材书时，心里“咯噔”一下，真的是挺吓人的一本书，满眼都是生疏的单词，还有各种不知所云的图表。当时真的很怀疑自己这么多年的英语是不是白学了。但当我静下心，并结合历年真题试卷细细分析了一下，其实英语语言学概论中的单词只是更偏重于学术性而已，并且有很多的单词我们完全可以通过已经识记的一些词根词缀猜出大概的意思，记忆起来并不是很难。我觉得，首先，我们应该克服对于偏于学术的英语的胆怯心理，这样才能在以后的学习中更有动力在英语语言学概论这门科目的学习中，我特别推荐给我们上课的支老师和王老师主编的苏州大学出版社出版的《英语语言学概论自学指导》。这本书是对于英文教材中的重点知识用中文进行了归纳，方便我们对于课本进行更为透彻的理解。当然，这本书始终只是辅导教材，大家万万不可将其作为重点，而抛弃了英文原教材。这本书只是帮助理解、防止发生理解错误的，我们一定要勇于去阅读全英文的书，这样对于培养英语思维有非常大的益处。 下面就具体讲讲我是怎么准备英语语言学概论的考试的。 起初，对于英语语言学的知识积累不多，开始时接触的知识都是似懂非懂，没有非常切实的体会。于是我采取了一个笨方法，就是“死记硬背”。我的“死记硬背”是通过不断地重复实现的，我将刚才提到的《自学指导》的单元课后练习用铅笔做，做完后对照答案修改，错误的题目擦去，重点记忆后下次再做，再改。就在不断重复中，我不仅记住了生词，还一遍又一遍的加深了对知识的理解。现在看来，这个阶段在我的英语语言学的学习过程中起到了非常重要的基础作用。通过记忆将知识内化，之后再反复揣摩、理解，为以后的学习培养了“语言学的语感”。 在此，我想提醒一下大家，通过我的实践并向老师进行了求证，《自学指导》中的一些练习题由于是选自高校考研真题，对于我们本科段的学生而言偏难，遇到这样的题目大家不用太过沮丧或浪费太多时间，可以适当跳过。 语言学这门课真的没有什么捷径可走，有的要记忆的东西一定要保质保量的准确记忆。例如，第三章中的英语辅音和元音的分类表，是非常重要的知识点，要牢牢记住，并且很多的知识点都可以借助这两张表来掌握。 此外，我建议大家参加第二专业学历教育的课程。语言学这门课相对来说比较学术，和以前我们接受的英语教育相比有很大不同，有了老师的引导可以少走很多弯路。 最后，我有一句话和大家共勉：不要追逐成功，做到卓越，成功自然会在不经意间追上你。在语言学的学习中不要只关注考试分数，试着去体会其中的乐趣，你会发现这也是一门很有趣的课，那分数一定不会和你作对。
