本文以语料库为工具,分析了“吭声”与“缄口”两类极量词的语义特征。研究发现,“吭声”类词语多出现在否定语言结构中,而其对应的英译也大多出现在否定语言结构中;“缄口”类词语多出现在肯定语言结构中,其对应的英译也多为肯定语言结构。我们认为语言中的肯定或否定结构往往受制于一种语言量域与肯定和否定相对应的认知机制。希望本文的研究结果对认知语言学和外语教学能带来积极的启示作用。
Based on linguistic corpora, the present makes an attempt to probe into the semantic structures of both “吭声” (kengsheng)cluster and “缄口”(jiankou)cluster as polarity words in Chinese. It is revealed that “吭声” (kengsheng)cluster tends to be used in negative structures while “缄口”(jiankou)cluster in positive structures in Chinese,and it is also found that their corresponding English counterparts are also characterized by both positive structures and negative structures. In fact, it indicates that the positive-negative quantitative continuum as a cognitive mechanism actually governs the alterative construction of positive or negative structures in both Chinese and English. It is hoped that our research will be of help to cognitive linguistics and foreign language teaching and research in China.
