Abstract

Semantic prosody is the research focus in the field of second language acquisition. Corpus-based language learning is considered as an access to the improvement of second language acquisition and the reflection of lexical items along with particular connotations habitually. This paper is based on semantic prosody to investigate the problems of EFL peer Chinese-English translation in formulaic sequence. Studies have shown that EFL learners pay more attention on the formation of semantic meaning and less attention on the completeness of semantic integrity. Inappropriate word choice in the formulaic sequence translation of EFL learners results from ignorance of semantic prosody. Finally, the integration of semantic prosody into EFL is discussed.
