摘要

尽管“地方”概念在人文地理学及其他学科中很突出,但令人惊讶的是,人们对地方语言的理解却很差。柏拉图式的研究涉及人类与纯粹(几何和认知)空间方面之外的地方的关系,其语言特征得到了充分的研究。本文对英语和威尔士语中的平台语进行了深入的案例研究,有助于更好地理解人们如何使用语言来描述他们对一个地方的依恋。我们请72人描述北威尔士的三个地方,每一个地方的特色,以及进一步的问题。我们从一系列定性语言特征的角度来探索反应,这些特征表明了邻近性和所有权等方面,确定了一系列与地点概念相关的语义类别,并对我们的数据中如何提及一个特别流行的地方特征——城堡——进行了详尽的分析。除了确定三个局部区域在与之相关的平台依恋方面的差异外,本文还为每个已确定的平台语义类别提供了关键词列表,作为该领域未来研究的基础。我们的研究结果进一步表明,所有权术语、时间参考和空间推断经常以不同的方式在英语和威尔士语中表征地方欣赏的表达。

Linguistic expression of place appreciation in English and Welsh
Despite the prominence of 'place' notions in human geography and beyond, the language of place is surprisingly poorly understood. Platial research addresses human relations to places beyond the purely (geometric and cognitive) spatial aspects, whose linguistic features are well researched. This paper offers an in-depth case study of platial discourse in English and Welsh, contributing to a better understanding of how people use language to describe their attachment to a place. We asked 72 people to describe three local areas in North Wales in terms of what makes each one special and distinctive, along with further questions. We explore the responses in terms of a range of qualitative linguistic features indicating aspects such as proximity and ownership, identify a range of semantic categories relevant to the notion of place, and offer an exhaustive analysis of how one particularly popular local feature - castles - is referred to in our data. Beyond identifying how the three local areas differ with respect to the platial attachment associated with them, this paper offers lists of keywords for each of the identified platial semantic categories as a basis for future studies in the field. Our findings further suggest that ownership terminology, time references, and spatial inferences frequently characterise expressions of place appreciation, in different ways in English and Welsh.
