| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 日本語文學研究所 === 96 === So far based on the analysis of the basic Japanese textbooks, vocabulary, sentence patterns, and situational conversations have been mostly regarded as major issues, but these textbooks lack readings, dialogues for the study, and exploration of structure of the texts. To explore the structure of reading and dialogues in the Japanese textbooks and to know if the texts are all qualified with coherence, this thesis takes the textbook “ Manabou Nihongo Vol. 1 ” as a model and analyses the 47 texts in the textbook from four aspects: 1.cohesion 2.inter-sentential relationship 3.speech functions 4.the development of the topic, including the “part of beginning ”, “the main part” and “part of Ending” .
The results show that this textbook uses cohesive means the most, such as the “ellipsis” of the subject or the complement, and the “repetition” of the same phrase. However, unnatural abridge skills, missing conjunctions and related phrases helping link paragraphs together, and non-corresponsive dialogue of adjacency pairs make the texts not fluent. In addition, in terms of development of topic in reading, the reading articles always start from “the part of beginning”, then enter “the main part of the article”, and eventually proceed the final part of the topic while half of the dialogues take no consideration about the three parts.
For learners the texts with cohesive problems would be an obstacle in reading. Furthermore, conversations lacking the absence of beginning, the main part, and ending are unnatural. If problems mentioned above would be revised and improved, I believe that learners can better understand and grasp what these readings and dialogues express in the textbooks and can also acquire the general conversation ability via the conversations in the textbook.
