    摘要: 這項研究深入探討了兩個相似的單詞 "awful" 和 "terrible" 的使用方式,並利用語料庫數據進行分析,專注於它們之間的異同。我們首先使用線上詞典來區分它們的不同詞義和用法。接著,我們手動分析了800個隨機選擇的詞語索引列,關注了它們的語義特點。

    研究結果顯示,儘管 "terrible" 通常與負面情境相關聯,但它也可以用於中性情境和積極情況,而 "awful" 則更廣泛地適用於不同情境。然而,儘管它們有相似的詞義,但並不一定可以互換,這取決於上下文。簡而言之,它們可能在不同語境中傳達不同的意思。

    此外,我們引入了一個基於數據的學習課程,以幫助英語學習者更好地理解這兩個單詞的使用差異。這個課程結合了真實英語用法和研究數據,並提供了比較這些近義詞的任務,以幫助學習者更自信地選擇適當的詞語。
    This study illustrates a corpus study and an application of a data driven learning lesson plan, focusing on the two near-synonyms awful and terrible. The primary objective of the paper is to scrutinize the similarities and differences between the two near-synonyms: awful and terrible utilizing data gathered from both COCA (the Corpus of Contemporary American English) and BNC (The British National Corpus). As an initial step, online dictionaries were mainlyserved as the primary resource for discerning different word meanings and classifications.
    Subsequently, we conducted a manual analysis of eight hundred randomly selected concordance lines, paying close attention to aspects such as the semantic prosody and word meanings. The finding unveiled a notable contrast: while terrible primarily with negative collocates. These refer to not only negative context but also positive instances cases which lacked specific positive or negative. Moreover, the results indicated that both near-synonym share a few of the identified meanings, including ‘extremely bad’, ‘inspiring fear, great fear’, and ‘very great or extreme’. However, while they may share similar meanings, the near-synonyms are not always interchangeable, as evidenced by the semantic prosody. These words convey distinct implications based on the contextual nuances.
    It becomes evident that awful is comparatively employed more frequently, due to its adaptability across a broader spectrum of contexts. However, to enhance comparison of vocabulary and near-synonyms among English learners, this study introduces the application of a data-driven learning lesson plan. This plan integrates authentic English usage with the data collected from the research, creating tasks in which learners will be required to make comparison between these near-synonyms.
