Extracting Concepts and Semantic Associates for Teaching Tang 300 Poems to L2 Learners

This research aims to explore the possibility of extracting language concepts and semantic associates through the diachronic construction of cross-linguistic knowledge resources based on the framework of an existing fine-grained ontological system developed by the Sinica BOW Tang 300 poems project. The authors attempt to provide language educators with a different perspective of instructional design by understanding and meeting L2 learners’ needs through the in-depth analysis of massive bilingual language data. It is hoped that synergized linguistic knowledge net(s) could better facilitate L2 Chinese language teaching and learning.
