比較常用片語動詞表與臺灣高中英文教科書片語動詞之異同

Comparing the Phrasal Verbs in the PHaVE List and Taiwanese Senior High School Textbooks

英語片語動詞之複雜性常為英語學習者造成困難。因此，幫助學習者有效學習片語動詞便成為英語教學中的重要課題。而學校使用之教科書對學習者有深遠的影響力，其內容之編排將與學習成效息息相關，故本研究使用詞彙速描分析引擎（Sketch Engine）分析出現於臺灣英語教科書中的片語動詞，並將成果和Garnier與Schmitt提出的常見片語動詞表（the PHrasal VErb Pedagogical List）進行比較。主要發現為：（一）該列表與各版本教科書中的片語動詞重疊程度不高，未達該列表之一半；（二）綜合各版本教科書的片語動詞與該列表差異亦大，共80個列表中的片語動詞未列入教科書中；（三）築基在美國現代英文語料庫上，發現該列表中之片語動詞常出現於口語領域，教科書中的片語動詞則較常見於小說及雜誌領域；（四）分析僅出現於教科書中的片語動詞，發現部分主動詞屬於大考中心高中英文參考詞彙表中級別較高的動詞。

The complexity of English phrasal verbs (PVs) often creates difficulties for English learners. Thus, helping English learners to learn English PVs more effectively has become a critical issue. For English learners in Taiwan, the content of English textbooks can considerably influence their acquisition of language features. The present study aimed to identify the PVs used in senior high English textbooks in Taiwan. The textbook corpora were compiled and PVs were extracted using Sketch Engine. The PV lists were then compared with the PHaVE List proposed by Garnier and Schmitt. The major findings are described in the following text. (1) The overlap rate between the PVs in the PHaVE List and those used in the textbooks was lower than 50%. (2) Significant differences existed between the PVs used in the textbooks (all versions) and those in the PHaVE List. Approximately 80 PVs in the PHaVE List never appeared in the textbooks. (3) With reference to the Corpus of Contemporary American English, some PVs in the PHaVE List belong to the spoken register; however, the PVs in the textbooks are mainly from novels and magazines. (4) Many verbs in the PVs that only appear in the textbooks were found to be more difficult verbs on the College Entrance Examination Center's list of 7,000 English words.
