摘要

背景:俄罗斯新手作家的研究性写作往往与其他国家的专业学术作家有明显的不同。更具体地说,俄罗斯学生写作的特点是冗长,难以理解,句法复杂,过多的名词化。这些特征的主要表现之一是大量介词和介词短语的使用。目的:本文的目的是调查俄语学生写作中介词过度使用的原因,并提出改进建议。方法:利用计算语言学工具Gramulator对两个自编语料库进行定量分析。第一个语料库由国际无线电工程学者发表的研究论文组成。第二个语料库包括无线电工程专业的俄罗斯研究生和研究生所写的研究论文的初稿。最后的定性分析主要集中在学生语料库上。结果:发现的七个最常见的写作特征是:过多的短语,名词/动名词代替动名词,名词代替目的不定式,名词化结构代替关系分句,“强名词+弱动词”结构代替“强”动词,语法错误和重复。本文讨论了每一个特征,并提出了一些建议,这些建议可能有助于减少过多的介词和介词短语,并改善文本的其他重要特征。启示:本研究的结果对学术写作导师以及教材和自动评估工具的开发人员很有兴趣。

Novice Russian Research Writing: Prepositions and Prepositional Phrases
Background: The research writing of novice Russian authors tend to be markedly different from that of expert academic writers from other countries. More specifically, Russian student writing has been characterized as wordy, difficult to comprehend, syntactically complex, and excessive in terms of nominalisation. One of the main manifestations of these characteristics is the deployment of a large number of prepositions and prepositional phrases. Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the causes of this excessive use of prepositions in Russian student writing and to provide suggestions for improvement. Methods: The quantitative analysis evaluates two self-compiled corpora using the computational linguistics tool Gramulator. The first corpus consists of published research papers written by international scholars of radio engineering. The second corpus comprises first drafts of research papers written by Russian graduate and postgraduate students majoring in radio engineering. The final qualitative analysis focuses largely on the student corpus. Results: The seven most common writing features identified were as follows: excessive of-phrases, nouns/verbal nouns instead of gerunds, nouns instead of infinitives of purpose, nominalized structures instead of relative clauses, ‘strong noun + weak verb’ structures instead of ‘strong’ verbs, grammatical errors, and repetitions. Each of these features is discussed and followed by suggestions that may help both reduce the excessive number of prepositions and prepositional phrases and improve other important features of the text. Implications: The results of this study are of interest to academic writing instructors as well as the developers of teaching materials and automated evaluation tools.
