摘要

像 "书 "这样具有复杂语义类型的词,其特点是有多种互不排斥的解释(如作为实物和/或信息内容)。它们在词汇歧义方面的地位并不明确,复杂类型究竟是多义词的一种特殊形式(与隐喻密切相关),还是属于单义词,目前还存在争议。在本研究中,我们通过对法语中的模糊名词进行两次实验来研究复合类型的性质。第一个实验收集说话者对复合类型词、隐喻词和单义词不同用法之间意义相同性的判断。第二个实验使用引物范式和感性任务来研究复杂类型词与隐喻词和单义词的在线处理。总体结果表明,在词汇模糊性的连续统一体中,复合类型词更接近于单义词,而不是近义词。复合类型词的不同解释具有高度关联性,属于同一含义,可以说与独特的参照物有关。这些结果表明,复合类型词与心理词典中单一的不明确词条有关。此外,这些结果还突显出需要一个能够解释复杂类型和隐喻之间区别的模棱两可词语的词汇表征模型。

The ambiguous nature of complex semantic types: an experimental investigation

Words with complex semantic types such as book are characterised by a multiplicity of interpretations that are not mutually exclusive (e.g., as a physical object and/or informational content). Their status with respect to lexical ambiguity is notoriously unclear, and it is debatable whether complex types are a particular form of polysemy (closely related to metonymy) or whether they belong to monosemy. In this study, we investigate the nature of complex types by conducting two experiments on ambiguous nouns in French. The first experiment collects speakers’ judgements about the sameness of meaning between different uses of complex-type, metonymic and monosemous words. The second experiment uses a priming paradigm and a sensicality task to investigate the online processing of complex-type words, as opposed to metonymic and monosemous words. Overall results indicate that, on a continuum of lexical ambiguity, complex types are closer to monosemy than to metonymy. The different interpretations of complex-type words are highly connected and fall under the same meaning, arguably in relation to a unique reference. These results suggest that complex types are associated with single underspecified entries in the mental lexicon. Moreover, they highlight the need for a model of lexical representations of ambiguous words that can account for the difference between complex types and metonymy.
