Testing with reference to Adverb in Tamil

Ms. G. Usha Nandini, M.A.

Abstract

This paper makes an attempt to suggest ways and means for testing adverb in learning a language in the L2 context. The text focuses on structure, nature, and other functional areas. These are illustrated by citing examples from Tamil.

Introduction

Learning a language in the L2 context generally implies production of grammatical structures by using adverbs. Often errors are noticed at the level of adverb formation, occurrence position in a sentence, etc., Also we face problems while determining the nature of adverb whether it is basic or derived. Observation of such errors has motivated me to take up this work. Accordingly an attempt is made to present a model for identifying the adverbs and their dimensions in testing.

Objective

To find out the dimensional areas of adverb and to provide tools for their testing.
