the next level of linguisticstructures(Guo&He,2002).Wu(1998)also gives an in-depth analysis of semantic fieldtheory.He believes that semantic field theory has two levels of meaning:one is that words canbe subordinated to the same concept,and then the related words under it are combined into asemantic field.This common concept can be generalized by semantic features or summarizedby superlatives.For example,the words energetic,outgoing,humble,indifferent,humorous,etc.,can be summarized by the semantic feature of personality.Another example is that underthe common concept of furniture,the words fridge,chair,drawer,cupboard,table,etc.,form asemantic field about furniture.The other one is that the words belonging to the same semanticfield are also interlocked and mutually dependent.In other words,to determine the meaningof a word,one must first compare the semantic connection between the word and other wordsin the same semantic field and the position the word occupies in the semantic field.

4.1 Overall Effects of Thematic Clustering and Semantic ClusteringPresentations on Learning Multidimensional Vocabulary Knowledge

The data of total scores,productive knowledge scores,and receptive knowledge scoresare presented and described from the immediate test and the delayed test separately in the firstsection,then the second section will be a discussion of the above results.

(1)Results of Overall Effects of Thematic Clustering and Semantic Clustering Presentationson Learning Multidimensional Vocabulary Knowledge

From Table 4-1,it can be seen that the total score of the thematic clustering group andthe semantic clustering group are relatively high in the immediate post-test(Full mark=60).The semantic clustering group performs better,with a mean score of 53.574,than the thematicclustering group,with a mean score of 52.349.The standard deviation for the thematicclustering group was 3.116,and the standard deviation for the semantic clustering group was2.803,indicating that the semantic clustering group had less discrete performance data andmore stable student performance.The data of p in the following T-test shows no significantstatistical differences between the total scores of the two groups in the immediate post-test(p=.062>.05).

With regard to the productive knowledge score,the semantic clustering group(M=26.329)does marginally better than the semantic clustering group(M=24.616),with adifference of 1.723 point本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
