Elementarstrukturen von Dialogen in Grundstufenlehrwerken der chinesischen Umgangssprache und ihre Bedeutung für die Lehrwerkskonzeption

Abstract

Based on a number of real language materials from textbooks for colloquial Chinese for beginners, this article uses the theory of Conversation Analysis about discourse structures to make a detailed analysis of various kinds of phenomena about some fundamental structures of conversational discourses in textbooks, such as insert-sequences, side sequences, and encircled structures. It not only discusses the practical values of these fundamental structures of conversational discourses in compiling Chinese teaching materials, but also points out to pay more attention to the fundamental structures of conversational discourses when compiling conversation teaching materials in order to enhance the learner’s communication abilities.
