Abstract

Māori, the indigenous language of New Zealand, has been in considerable contact with English for over one hundred years. Over that time there have been documented changes in the pronunciation, grammar and lexicon of Māori. As a result we would also expect evidence of changes to the phrasal lexicon. A study of the words mauri and moe in the Māori language over the last 150 years shows that older formulae are becoming more restricted in their use and that formulae calqued from English have also appeared.

Māori短语词汇的变化:mauri和moe

Māori是新西兰的土著语言，一百多年来一直与英语有相当大的联系。在那段时间里，Māori的发音、语法和词汇都发生了记录在案的变化。因此，我们也期望有证据表明短语词典发生了变化。一项对过去150年来Māori语言中mauri和moe这两个词的研究表明，旧的公式在使用上越来越受限制，同时也出现了从英语中引进的公式。

期刊介绍： The Yearbook of Phraseology is a fully international, peer-reviewed publication dedicated to research in phraseology, a linguistic subfield concerned with the study of word combinations of varying extent and type, and different degrees of fixedness. Word combinations are ubiquitous in language and constitute a significant resource for communication. Their study is of interest to many other subdisciplines of linguistics and even to other disciplines, throwing light on the make-up of constructions, their processing and learning, the make-up and modes of creation of complex building blocks of language, the methodology and use of corpora and statistical methods, as well as on the way in which language functions.
