Abstract

This research makes an empirical study on the longitudinal development of depth of vocabulary Knowledge of Chinese EFL learners from high school to junior period based on textbook corpus TECCL and English writing corpus CLEC. Taking GET as a case study, this study explores its syntagmatic and paradigmatic relations by vertical comparison among different learning stages and horizontal comparison between learner’s output and textbook’s input. Major findings show that firstly deficient input of depth of vocabulary Knowledge in English textbooks hinders the development of depth of vocabulary Knowledge of Chinese EFL learners, secondly the acquisition of syntagmatic relations lags behind the acquisition of paradigmatic relations, especially lack of knowledge about collocates’ semantic preference and semantic prosody, and finally learners do well in mastering the basic or original meaning and relevant colligations and collocations of a polysemic word, but are deficient in the acquisition of other meanings and relevant colligations and collocations.
