摘要：

Patrick Hanks的“常态与拓展理论”(TNE)根植于词典学与语料库语言学的深度融合,构建了一种以词汇为中心、语料库驱动且自下而上的语言分析框架。该理论视自然语言为具有内在概率的偏好系统,主张运用统计方法对其进行观测与描述,为基于语料数据的语言研究开辟了新路径,并夯实了以词汇分析为核心的语言学理论与实证基础。研究发现,该理论所揭示的语言概率性、不确定性和类推性,与量子思维的概率性、不确定性和非定域性三大本质特征深度契合。从量子哲学视角重新审视该理论,不仅深化了对其内涵的解读,更揭示了语言的量子属性,为推动语言学研究的范式重构提供了坚实的理论依据与全新的认识论路径。

Abstract:

Rooted in the deep integration of lexicography and corpus linguistics, Patrick Hanks’ Theory of Norms and Exploitations (TNE) constructs a lexically centered, corpus-driven, and bottom-up framework for language analysis. Conceptualizing natural language as a preference system characterized by intrinsic probability, the theory advocates employing statistical methods for its observation and description. This approach not only opens new avenues for corpus-based research but also consolidates the theoretical and empirical foundations of linguistics centered on lexical analysis. This paper demonstrates that the linguistic probability, uncertainty, and analogy revealed by TNE resonate deeply with the essential properties of quantum thinking: probability, uncertainty, and non-locality. Re-examining TNE through the lens of quantum philosophy not only deepens the understanding of its theoretical underpinnings but also reveals the quantum nature of language, providing a solid theoretical basis and a novel epistemological path for facilitating a paradigm shift in linguistic research.

Key words: Theory of Norms and Exploitations (TNE), quantum philosophy, probability, uncertainty, analogy
