An Investigation into the Grammaticalization Sequence and the Natural Acquisition Sequence of the Multifunctional Word “Zai”

本文探讨了多功能词“在”的语法化顺序与二语习得顺序的关联性，通过对比语法化历程与留学生习得情况，发现二者存在较大一致性。并提出教学应贴合习得顺序，从简单到复杂逐步引导，并强化语法化顺序理解以提升教学效果。This paper explores the correlation between the grammaticalization order of the multifunctional word “zai” and the second language acquisition order, and finds that there is a great consistency between the grammaticalization process and the acquisition of international students. It is proposed that the teaching should be guided step by step from simple to complex in accordance with the order of acquisition, and the grammatical order understanding should be strengthened to improve the teaching effect.
