摘要：This study examines the juniors’ and sophomores’ writings with the same prompt, attempting to investigate the general pictures of their lexical chunk (“lexical chunk” is abbreviated to LC) use and the main features of using LC categories. The study shows the following results: (a) Juniors generally have higher frequency of using LC, especially in using 4 LC categories: topic-related LC (TRLC), sentence-building LC (SBLC), general LC (GLC) and opinion-presented LC (OPLC), except discourse LC (DLC). (b) In terms of using LC categories, juniors show a better proficiency of SBLC noticeably, which is revealed by their better-structured sentences, rich diversity of SBLC and more native-like sentence logic. (c) Juniors and sophomores show similarity in using TRLC in that their choices of topic-related lexical phrases are both extremely influenced by writing prompt. (d) Juniors employ less DLC than sophomores because juniors attach more importance to the idea, opinion and proof, while sophomores rely more on the signal words of passage due to the purpose of gaining scores and using DLC as facilitators to make the whole passage coherent. (e) Juniors use OPLC more frequently and diversely, while sophomores overuse a certain OPLC.
其他摘要：This article illustrates the aesthetic multiplicity of Shakespeare’s Sonnets by way of interpreting how the images in the Sonnets produce multi-layered meanings. The image, whose essence consists not only in a fusion of affection with scenes, but more in creating “image beyond image”, “ideas beyond speech”, is the soul of poetry. They are adopted to display the poet’s subjective feelings and thoughts and to transform the abstract and intangible ideas into concrete and graphic pictures for rich implications and strong artistic appeal. This article argues that the beauty of the image comes from its fuzziness and indeterminacies, which leave enough space for readers to imagine. In the Sonnets, Shakespeare applies numerous images to enrich the poems’ connotation which could arouse reader’s wild imagination, ponderings and even arguments. The magic of the miraculous sonnets lies in these aesthetic factors and the consequent aesthetic effects, and lies in the never-ending illustration and the hidden charms.
