摘要

Abstract

Xiao

et al.

(2017)在对比分析4个语料库的基础上，提出国内小学六年级学生的识词率增长不能令人满意的观点，建议人教版小学英语通用教材总词汇在原有726个的基础上再增加903个，并删除twelfth（序数词，第十二）这样的低频词。作为外语教师和语言学家，我们赞同他们应用先进信息技术对传统词表进行评估的做法，但认为这项工作：1.在构建参考语料库时需重视语料抽样的合理性；2.在解读词频时需重视齐夫定律（Zipf’s law，即英语词频与词秩成反比）的作用--识字率增长随词汇量增加而减缓的情况是合理的；3.在提出教材选词策略时，需考虑小学生认知特点和课业负担等现实因素限制，以及语言教育的总体目标，不能随便删除twelfth这样承载文化的词汇；4.学龄儿童全国通用外语教材编写是项复杂的系统工程，需要各领域专家共同关注。
