摘要
复合词因其不拘一格的组词方式而成为人类语言中富有成效的组词过程之一。本文重点研究 Yorùbá 中的融合复合词形成过程。本研究的目的是分析 Yorùbá 中派生融合复合词的词法过程。本文阐述了约鲁巴语中融合复合词的可能组合;研究了在复合词句法层面可能出现的不同过程;并分析了在复合词句法层面出现的过程。由于研究人员的母语是研究语言,因此本研究的数据是通过研究人员的自省收集的。收集到的数据经过其他母语使用者的验证,以确保准确性和真实性。此外,还从以前的相关文献中获取了数据。本研究采用的理论框架是弱词法假设。本研究发现,同化、元音省略和凝聚是 Yorùbá 中融合复合词在句法层面可能发生的变化。本研究的结论是,在约鲁巴语中,融合复合词只出现在名词+名词(N+N)、名词+名词+名词(N+N+N)、词缀+动词+名词(AFX+V+N)和动词+名词(V+N)的组合中。
Lexicosyntactic analysis of fused compounds in Yoruba
Compounding is one of the productive word formation processes in human languages due to its eclectic means of formation. This paper focuses on the fused compounding process in Yorùbá. The aim of this study is to analyse the lexicosyntactic process involved in deriving fused compounds in Yorùbá. The paper states the possible combinations of fused compounding in Yoruba; it examines the different processes that can occur at the syntactic level of compounding; and it analysed the processes which occur at the syntactic level of compounding. Data for this study were gathered from the introspection of the researcher since the researcher is a native speaker of the language of the study. Data gathered were validated by other native speakers for accuracy and authentication. Also, data were obtained from previous related literature. The theoretical framework adopted for this study is the weak lexicalist hypothesis. This study found that assimilation, vowel elision and coalescence are the possible alterations which occur at the syntactic level of fused compounding in Yorùbá. This study concludes that fused compounding only surfaces in Noun + Noun (N+N) Noun + Noun + Noun (N+N+N), Affix + Verb + Noun (AFX+V+N) and Verb + Noun (V+N) combinations in the language.
