摘要
本研究利用话题模型讨论了英语动词 run 的多义性和非同步语义频率变化。认知语言学领域基于语料库的研究日益增多,在语言的各个方面产生了许多实证研究成果。然而,仍有一些领域没有得到足够的重视。其中一个领域就是从相关话题和社会兴趣的角度研究词义。在本文中,我们分析了从 NOW 语料库(News on Web)中收集的对时数据,认为 run 的多义性可以用话题来描述,而这个动词所具有的意义的使用变化可以用社会兴趣的变化来描述。
A Topic-Based Diachronic Account of the Polysemy of the English Verb ‘Run’
This study discusses the polysemy and diachronic semantic frequency shifts of the English verb run using a topic model. The increase in corpus-based research in cognitive linguistics has yielded many empirical findings on various aspects of language. However, there are still areas that have not received sufficient attention. One such area is the study of word meaning in terms of related topics and social interest. In this paper, we analyze diachronic data collected from the NOW corpus (News on Web) and argue that the polysemy of run can be described in terms of topic, and that the change in the use of the meanings that this verb has can be described in terms of a change in social interest.
期刊介绍:
Research in Language (RiL) is an international journal committed to publishing excellent studies in the area of linguistics and related disciplines focused on human communication. Language studies, as other scholarly disciplines, undergo two seemingly counteracting processes: the process of diversification of the field into narrow specialized domains and the process of convergence, strengthened by interdisciplinarity. It is the latter perspective that RiL editors invite for the journal, whose aim is to present language in its entirety, meshing traditional modular compartments, such as phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, and offer a multidimensional perspective which exposes varied but relevant aspects of language, e.g. the cognitive, the psychological, the institutional aspect, as well as the social shaping of linguistic convention and creativity.
