Abstract

The selection and arrangement of grammar is important in International Chinese Language Education. This paper collects and sorts out some grammatical items in some authoritative Chinese textbooks. Through quantitative investigation, it is found that although different textbooks have different writing styles and reference standards for grammar, there are some commonalities despite the complexity involved. In this paper, the core parameter model and the position parameter model are designed, and the grammatical items are sequentially studied in the two dimensions of commonness and difficulty. After the adjustment of weight coefficients and interval statistics, the two models have achieved good results in determining the two-dimension sequential values.
