An Analysis and Research Work on the Chinese Monosyllabic Vocabulary of Indonesian College Students in English Language Education

Most Chinese morphemes are monosyllable. When used alone, they are words, and when not used alone, they are word formation components, its mainly due to the lack of morphological changes in Chinese, root compounding is the main method for the generation of new words, and many polysyllabic words are developed from ancient monosyllabic phrases. Most of the Chinese polysyllable words are compound words, but some are double-syllabic simple words, which are mainly manifested as repetitive words and double-syllable words. The disyllabic trend of Chinese vocabulary, namely monosyllabic words which often expanded into two syllables, and multi-syllable words which often compressed into two syllables, there are a large number of four-character idioms in Chinese. In terms of the language structure unit, most of them belong to phrases, and in terms of their sentence-making function, they are equivalent to a word. The vocabulary of any language is always in a state of constant change, and the Chinese vocabulary will continue to develop and change with the development of the material and spiritual civilization of the Chinese society. Furthermore, this research uses a statistical analysis questionnaire survey, while the content is mainly for the learning of Chinese monosyllabic vocabulary of Indonesian college students. It is expected that this research can provide more targeted learning method, hence, it can further improve students' mastery and use of appropriate vocabulary.
