摘要
Hoey在他的《词汇触发》一书中指出,应谨慎对待同义关系意义联系概念的外延。然而,对同义词触发模式的系统解释似乎还很缺乏。本文主要借助Hoey的词汇触发理论,对三个表示"开始"意义的同义词(begin、start、commence)进行词汇搭配形式、语法聚合模式、及语义和语用联系进行BNC语料库分析,以解释同义词的触发模式及区别特征。研究发现,同义词不仅词汇搭配不同,而且在触发频率,语法聚合模式(如及物过程),语用功能和语义韵等方面都有多微妙的差异。
Hoey claims in his Lexical Priming that the extension of the notion of semantic association to cover synonymous relations should proceed cautiously. However, systematic analysis seems to be needed on how differently synonymous words are primed. In light of Hoey's theory of lexical prirning, particulary through the analysis of lexical collocation, grammatical colli- gation, semantic and pragmatic association, this paper examines the BNC evidence of the synonymous sets begin,start and com- mence in order to see how synonymous words can be associated and the degree they differ. The results of the research seem to have proved that synonyms not only differ in lexical collocation,but also in priming frequency, grammatical colligation (e. g. transitivity processes), pragmatic function and prosodic features, etc.
