Grammatical Analysis of chinese Persian learner's Writings (A2): a Study Based on Category and Scale Grammar

The corpus of the research is taken from the final writing test of the General Persian language Course(GPLC) of Persian Language Teaching Center(PLC) at Imam Khomeini International University(IKIU), which was held in the winter of 2016. 90 Chinese Persian learners participated in the mentioned test; hence, a total of 90 test sheets were used as raw data. The test consists of two parts: In the first part, four pictures, marked with numbers one to four, show a short story and the students are asked to write story of the pictures with at least 10 lines of 10 words. In the second part, they are asked to choose one of the two given topics and write a text of at least 10 to 12 lines of 10 words. In one of the suggested topics, Persian students were asked to write a text about one of their travels so far. What did they do before the trip? What items did they take with them? What places did they visit? In the second issue, they were asked to write a letter to their Iranian teacher and explain their country in terms of climate, population, culture, civilization, etc .; Therefore, each writing test sheet contains two written texts: a text related to the narration of the given images and a text about a personal trip or a letter to an Iranian master. Given the minimum of 100 words for each text, it can be said that the body contains 90 texts about the visual story and 90 texts about one of the two proposed topics and a total of 180 texts. If we consider at least 100 words in each text, the body contains approxi. Persian Chinese learners "General level of Persian language" Persian Students who are in the general Persian language course of the Persian Language Training Center of Imam Khomeini International University for 16 weeks and 20 hours per week for four skills of listening, reading, speaking and writing skills They have participated in a total of 320 training hours in face-to-face classes. Considering the quality and quantity of the educational program and the individual characteristics of Persian Chinese students, the general level can be considered equivalent to the intermediate or pre-intermediate level (A2) in the framework of the common European reference. To prepare the body, the Persian writing sheets of Chinese students were first implemented in the word processing software. Attempts were made to type as much as possible what the Persian learners had written in their worksheets. Then, the grammatical labeling of the typed content was done within the framework of the category and amount grammar. At this stage, 26 grammatical labels such as number and types of sentences (kernels and clusters), number and types of clauses (kernel, dependent, ordered, inverted, orderly, Mahin, ancient, self-standing and non-standing), number and types of groups (current, noun and adverb ), The number and types of information related to the current group (time management, direction and negation and proof), the number and types of information related to the nominal group (complement, position and nominal dependencies) and the number and types of information related to the adverbial group (unmarked and By marking) in the Persian text, the students were identified and counted and the data of each sheet were recorded in a table that was prepared for this purpose. n conducting the research, as much as possible, the criterion for analyzing the components of the text is Persian students's writing and the written text should be analyzed without applying language corrections. Since the dot is intended as the boundary of the end of one sentence and the beginning of another sentence, the authors punctuate the posts. And amended or supplemented as required; Next, the work of identifying and separating the sentences has been done. In body analysis, the inverted clause components are identified and calculated as the constituent elements of the clause (current group, nominal group and constraint group). To count the current groups, in addition to the current group, in the documented paragraphs (Mahin paragraph), the undocumented paragraphs (Kahin paragraph), the "inverted" self-static and non-static inverted clauses are also calculated as the clauses with the current group. In the analysis of dependent nominal groups, only one nominal group is considered. In other words, the nominal groups within the constraint groups are not analyzed separately. Findings indicate the core, ranked and major sentence frequency. The verbal group has characteristics such as finite personal and active voice on average and there is almost no trace of finite impersonal and passive voice. The nominal group has no or one dependent.The adverbial group is approximately the same proportion of marked and unmarked. Research has also proven the effectiveness of CSG in accurately describing writing of CLP's writing.
