摘要
本文分析了英语和波兰语中将形状名称用作动词的情况。本文特别研究了英语中圆形和方形作为动词的用法,以及波兰语中与这些图形名称(koło/okręg 和 kwadrat)相关的动词。分析表明,在英语中,圆形和方形都可以作为动词(通常是短语动词),而在波兰语中,这些名词不能成为动词。尽管如此,还是发现了几个由 koło 和 okręg 组成的动词,而没有与 kwadrat 相关的动词。在许多情况下,这些 "形状动词 "的意义与形状本身的语义有关。
Let’s Square the Accounts: the Use of Names of Shapes as Verbs in English and Polish
The paper analyses the use of names of shapes as verbs in English and Polish. In particular, the use of circle and square as verbs in English and the verbs related to the Polish names of these shapes, koło/okręg and kwadrat, is studied. The analysis shows that in English both circle and square function as verbs (often phrasal verbs), while in Polish these nouns cannot become verbs. Still, several verbs formed from the names koło and okręg were found while there is no verb related to kwadrat. In many cases the meaning of these “shape verbs” manifests a semantic relation to the shape itself.
