Directory         1.     Mengfei Zhao , Chinese students' production of RCs in speaking Message 1: Chinese students' production of RCs in speaking Date: 13-Oct-2011 From: Mengfei Zhao <mz049211ohio.edu> Subject: Chinese students' production of RCs in speaking E-mail this message to a friend I want to do a research about Chinese students' production of English relative clause in speaking. The subjects will be graduate students whose major is English. A lot of work has been done about Chinese students' acquisition of English RCs, but most of them are about the written form. I want to do a research about the oral production of RC. The research questions will be: 1.Whether the advanced learners will make the same mistakes in speaking as the mistakes the other students tend to make in written form. 2.Compared to native speaker, which type of RC will be underproduced by Chinese advanced English learners? 3.What's the difference between the use of Chinese RCs and the use of English RCs when they are speaking? The literatures I have read are 1. Fox and Thompson(2007) 2. Diessel and Tomasello(2000) 3. Bernardo(1979) 4.Chin, Perfetti and Ying(2010) 5.Diessel(2007） I am a first year graduate student in Ohio University, which does not have so much background information. I have difficulties in finding some more articles addressing the oral production of RCs. Thank you very much! I appreciate your help.
