  • Syntactic and phraseological complexity in Chinese as a second language adapted teaching materials

    Open Access•Jifeng Wu, Xiaofei Lu et al.•ARTICLE•Modern Language Journal•2025

    The adjustment of syntactic and phraseological complexity is a key consideration in text adaptation. However, research on this topic in the context of Chinese as a second language (CSL) remains limited. Using 700 CSL reading texts graded following the newly issued Chinese Proficiency Grading Standards for International Chinese Language Education , this study examines differences in syntactic and phraseological complexity across texts of varying g…

  • The conceptual structure of human relationships across modern and historical cultures

    Open Access•Xi Cheng, Haroon Popal et al.•ARTICLE•Nature Human Behaviour•2025•References: 36

  • Sense-aware connective-based indices of cohesion and their relationship to cohesion ratings of English language learners’ written production

    Open Access•Xiaofei Lu, Renfen Hu•ARTICLE•Studies in Second Language…•2024

    The use of connectives has been considered important for assessing the cohesion of written texts (Crossley et al., 2019). However, existing connective-based indices have not systematically addressed two issues of ambiguity, namely, that between discourse and non-discourse use of polysemous word forms and that in terms of the specific discourse relations marked by polysemous discourse connectives (Pitler & Nenkova, 2009). This study proposes 34 se…

  • Word-Combination-Based Measures of Phraseological Diversity, Sophistication, and Complexity and Their Relationship to Second Language Chinese Proficiency and Writing Quality

    Open Access•Renfen Hu, Jifeng Wu et al.•ARTICLE•Language Learning•2022•References: 54

    This study investigated the relationship of a set of word-combination-based measures of phraseological diversity, sophistication, and complexity to second language (L2) Chinese proficiency and writing quality in comparison to that of a set of large-grained topic-comment-unit-based measures. Our dataset consisted of 101 assessed narratives produced by Korean learners of Chinese as a L2 at 3 proficiency levels. Multiple phraseological measures exhi…
