Analysis of Inverse-ordered Words in the HSK Composition Corpus

Taking HSK composition corpus as corpus source, the article discussed the errors of the inverse-ordered words after an exhaustive search and statistical analysis. We discovered that Class A had the highest proportion of errors on the rank of the inverseordered words. With regard to the structure of the inverse-ordered words, the combined structure has the highest proportion of errors.And Chinese learners from character cultural circle,who are more vulnerable to negative transfer of mother tongue, have more errors than the learners from non-character cultural circle,and appear lots of errors in the confusion category and meaning of the inverseordered
word.
