ABSTRACT
As the world advances, more
and more people begin to learn Chinese as a second language (CSL). In the
course of teaching CSL, the author finds that although the senior students have
a certain ability to express in Chinese, there are still various problems in
their output. Among the problems, the text cohesion is one of the most
prominent. Therefore, in this paper, the author analyzes the errors of CSL
learners in the use of conjunctional cohesion devices, which are roughly
divided into four types, namely, parallel relationship, temporal succession,
causal relationship, and reversal relationship. The causes of the errors are
discussed, too. Finally, the author puts forward the corresponding teaching and
learning suggestions, such as teaching the learners to learn the thinking mode
of Chinese, cultivating the learners’ contextual concept, comparing similarities
and differences between mother-tongue and Chinese, and strengthening the
practical training for the learners to use cohesive devices.
