Abstract Corpus-based approach, a new research method in modern linguistics, has been more and more widely employed in language researches of various fields and perspectives since the flourishing of computer technology and the appearing of a great amount of large-scale and well-designed corpora and concordance software. In order to discriminate among the synonyms of anger, rage, fury, indignation, wrath, resentment, and shed some light on the learning and using of synonyms, British National Corpus(BNC), an on-line research platform was based on to make a discussion of differences in the meanings, commonly used premodifiers, and grammatical structures among these words. It has been discovered that the linguistic information from dictionaries do not provide all thorough details of the words, e.g. grammatical patterns, collocations, etc. The corpus-based data seem to be useful as they contribute to supplying additional information not existent in the dictionaries. Furthermore, learners can search for more sample sentences of synonyms from corpora so that they will be able to have access to subtle meanings of them. Also, attempt is done to bring about some innovations in vocabulary teaching approaches, that is, to offer both language teachers and learners a brand-new method of synonym differentiation, which may effectively stimulate the motivations of students, and further improve their ability of analyzing and solving problems.69696

摘要基于语料库进行研究是现代语言学的一种新型研究方法。随着电脑技术的飞速发展和大型机读语料库以及检索软件的出现,这种方法已经越来越广泛地应用在各种不同层面、不同角度的语言研究中。本文借助BNC语料库分析五个近义词即:anger, rage, fury, indignation, wrath, resentment, 主要研究它们在词义,常用的前置修饰语,和语法结构上的差异,并为近义词的学习和使用提供借鉴。研究发现,字典中的语言信息并没有提供单词的细节信息例如语法结构,搭配等等。基于语料库的数据提供了大量附加信息,而这些信息却是字典中所没有的。另外,学习者可以从语料库中找到一些关于近义词的例句,从而进一步理解它们之间的细微差别。基于语料库的近义词研究尝试在词汇教学方法方面有所创新,即:为教师和学习者提供一种崭新的近义词辨析方法,从而有效地刺激学生的学习动力,进而提高学生分析问题和解决问题的能力。

1. Introduction 

Vocabulary is the core of Language (Zimmerman). No matter in daily communications or in formal writings, learners tend to feel confused about vocabulary choice and usage; therefore synonyms play an indispensable role during the whole learning process. Grasping the usage of synonyms can not only help learners improve their ability of wording and phrasing, but also can enhance the effectiveness and expressiveness of languages.论文网
