Error Analysis of the Chinese Noun Quantifier ge by Thai Learners of Chinese in China
Abstract:
The present study investigates errors in the use of ge (个), a frequently used Chinese noun modifier, by Thai learners of Chinese in China. I analyzed 374 essays (totaling 75,241 characters) written by Thai learners of Chinese from the HSK Dynamic Composition Corpus ver2.0. The analysis focused on occurrences and types of errors in ge usage. Results identified four main error types: incorrect reference, omission, incorrect addition, and typos. The first two errors were most prominent, suggesting difficulties for some Thai learners in using ge contextually. Additionally, inconsistencies were found in the use of simplified and traditional Chinese characters for ge. This study emphasizes the need for instructional strategies that help Thai learners of Chinese understand the nuanced use of ge in various contexts.
