詞性誤用(misuse of parts of speech)

分析認為,詞性誤用通常表現(xiàn)為:介詞當動詞用,形容詞當副詞用,名詞當動詞用等,如:

1. None can negative the importance of money.

分析:

Negative是形容詞,誤作動詞使用。

改為:None can deny the importance of money.

指代不清(ambiguous reference of pronouns)

指代不清主要指代詞與被指代的人或物關系不清,或者先后使用的代詞不一致,如:

1. Mary was friendly to my sister because she wanted her to become her bridesmaid.

分析:

讀完上面這句話后,作者無法明確判斷兩位姑娘中誰將結(jié)婚,誰將當伴娘。如果我們把易于引起誤解的代詞的所指對象明確,意思就一目了然了。

改為:Mary was friendly to my sister because she wanted my sister to become her bridesmaid.

2. We can also know the society by serving it yourself.

分析:

句中代詞we和反身代詞yourself指代不一致。

改為:We can also know the society by serving it ourselves.
