发布时间：2018-09-01 17:26

【摘要】：英语名名复合词(以下简称名名复合词)是英语复合词的一种,广泛应用于人们的日常交流中,因此引起了广大学者的注意。以往的相关研究中,只有少数学者研究概念整合理论(以下简称CIT)是怎样解释名名复合词的意义,且缺乏实证数据支撑。CIT是“一种对类比、心智模型、概念分类以及框架的认知操作”。由于一个复合名词的意义并非简单地由两个单独的单词意义的叠加,且在其表层意义的基础上复合名词的意义有些很难理解。再者,名名复合词对于国内许多英语学习者来说,在单词理解和记忆方面是有困难且麻烦的,所以完全了解常用的名名复合词中潜藏的意思对于日常交流中正确使用复合词非常重要。因此本文旨在:(1)分析名名复合词意义构建的特征;(2)从理论层面分析CIT是如何运用于名名复合词的意义构建,并在实证方面以数据支撑证明此运用的可行性和有效性。此研究采取了定性和定量相结合的方法来分析名名复合词。定性方面:根据前人对名名复合词的意义构建中分析总结出其意义构建的特征;基于权威性的牛津高阶英汉双解词典(第8版),《中国日报》、wordspy(一个网站)收集名名复合词,利用CIT中四种概念整合网络对名名复合词的意义进行构建;定量部分:进行实证研究,采用两次名名复合词词汇测试和进行数据采集,两次测试收集到的数据通过SAS进行分析,为CIT四种概念整合网络运用于名名复合词意义构建的可行性和有效性提供数据支撑。本论文得出如下结论:(1)名名复合词的意义构建特征有如下四种,即简单复合型、隐喻或转喻作用下语义部分偏离型、隐喻或转喻作用下语义整体偏离型、隐喻和转喻共同作用下语义整体偏离型;(2)从理论和实证方面都表明可以利用CIT的四种概念合成网络对名名复合词进行构建,且CIT应用于名名复合词意义构建是行之有效的。本论文可为名名复合词的研究提供一个新的视角;分析出名名复合词的意义构建特征有助于分析出如何利用CIT有效分析出名名复合词意义构建,并通过实证研究来提供理论和实证方面的有力证据;该实验也证明出在英语词汇学习中使用CIT是行之有效的;帮助英语学习者找到一种认知的方法去分析名名复合词的真正意义并提供大学教师一种词汇教学的尝试性方法。如在阅读时老师可以鼓励学生扩大自己的概念空间和背景知识,并用CIT对名名复合词在情景语境和文化语境下进行讲解;对于学生,可以培养对英语词汇和CIT理论的学习兴趣,扩大想象力,运用背景图示知识更深刻地理解和记忆名名复合词。
[Abstract]:English Noun compound (hereinafter referred to as Noun compound) is a kind of English compound word, which is widely used in people's daily communication, so it has attracted the attention of many scholars. In previous studies, only a few scholars have studied how conceptual integration theory (hereinafter referred to as CIT) explains the meaning of nominal-noun compound words, and the lack of empirical data support .CIT is "a kind of analogy, mental model," Conceptual Classification and Framework Cognitive manipulation. Since the meaning of a compound noun is not simply superimposed by two separate words, it is difficult to understand the meaning of the compound noun on the basis of its surface meaning. Moreover, for many English learners in China, it is difficult and troublesome to understand and memorize words. Therefore, it is very important to understand the hidden meaning of the common name compound word for the correct use of the compound word in daily communication. The purpose of this paper is to: (1) to analyze the characteristics of the meaning construction of noun compound words; (2) to analyze how CIT is applied to the meaning construction of noun compound words from the theoretical level, and to prove the feasibility and effectiveness of this application with data support in the empirical aspect. In this study, the qualitative and quantitative methods are used to analyze the noun compound. Qualitative aspects: according to the analysis and summary of the characteristics of meaning construction in the past, based on the Oxford High order English-Chinese double interpretation Dictionary (8th Edition), the "China Daily" word spy (a website) collects the noun compound words. Using four kinds of concept integration network in CIT to construct the meaning of name and name compound words; quantitative part: carry on the empirical research, adopt two names and names compound word vocabulary test and carry on the data collection, the data collected from the two tests are analyzed by SAS. It provides data support for the feasibility and validity of the application of CIT four concept integration networks to the construction of the meaning of nominal-noun compound. The main conclusions of this thesis are as follows: (1) the construction characteristics of Nomenclature compound words are as follows: simple compound type, semantic partial deviation type under metaphor or metonymy, and semantic global deviation type under metaphor or metonymy effect. Metaphor and metonymy play an important role in the global semantic deviation. (2) it is theoretically and empirically demonstrated that Noun compound words can be constructed by using CIT's four conceptual composition networks, and that CIT is effective in the construction of Nomenclature compound meanings. This thesis can provide a new angle of view for the study of name-name compound words, and analyzing the meaning construction characteristics of famous noun compound words is helpful to analyze how to use CIT to effectively analyze the meaning construction of famous noun compound words. It also proves that the use of CIT in English vocabulary learning is effective. To help English learners to find a cognitive method to analyze the real meaning of noun compound words and to provide a college teacher a tentative method of vocabulary teaching. For example, teachers can encourage students to expand their conceptual space and background knowledge, and use CIT to explain noun compound words in situational and cultural context, while for students, they can cultivate their interest in English vocabulary and CIT theory. Expand the imagination, use the knowledge of background graphics to understand and memorize the names and names of compound words more deeply.
