【摘要】:本研究主要探讨了空间维度形容词及其名词所构成的类链接的语义趋向和语义韵。在此之前,关于空间维度形容词的研究集中从儿童习得机制、概念隐喻、视角理论等进行句法、语义分析。此外,学者们从跨语言的角度进行对比分析试图寻找语言共性和差异。本研究通过对六组英语空间维度形容词与其名词搭配的共现词频和语境进行语义分析,并对呈现的语义趋向性和语义韵进行阐释。本文是定量与定性相结合的研究,从工作语料库——美国当代英语语料库中提取数据样本,对每个搭配的类联接选取基于互信息值和共现频次较高的前30个样本,总结常见的语义趋向,同时将它们的具体共现语境例句进行等距抽样,再对得到的例句进行进一步定性分析,甄别其中的语义韵特点。从本体论来说,与空间维度形容词搭配的名词大部分都是有限、具体的内容实体,这和空间维度形容词作为人类描述外部世界的基本词汇以及人类可及的世界物体的属性有关。而描述相对抽象的物体时,空间维度形容词倾向于描述基于形容词本义相关的抽象实体,如时间类、度量类、知识类等。根植于这种语义趋向,相应的语义韵也具有描述客观意义。从语料库提取语篇片段,分析得到的空间维度类联接总体而言具有中性客观的语义韵特点。无论是从单个的搭配词汇还是搭配词汇所在的语篇片段来看,空间维度形容词及其名词搭配形成的类链接具有明显的中性客观语义韵。这对二语学习者以及翻译者具有借鉴意义。
