摘要

摘要：尽管表达能力是语言的一项重要功能，但在语言描述中，表达特征往往被忽视。在讨论了这种缺失如何反映语言文献中的性别偏见后，本文从两种澳大利亚土著语言中招募了第一手数据，以探讨个别语言的语法特性是否会影响其表达资源的语义。这项研究比较了达拉邦语和雷姆巴兰加语中的小词，这两种语言在同一文化环境中使用。比较表明，尽管存在许多不匹配的语言特性，但这些小词所能表达的情感仍然非常稳定，这表明在这个语义领域存在着强烈的社会文化约束。

Do Linguistic Properties Influence Expressive Potential? The Case of Two Australian Diminutives (Gunwinyguan Family)

Abstract:Although expressivity is indisputably a crucial function of language, expressive features have often been neglected in linguistic descriptions. After discussing how this lack can reflect a gender bias in language documentation, this article recruits first-hand data from two Australian Aboriginal languages to explore whether the grammatical properties of individual languages can influence the semantics of their expressive resources. The study compares diminutives found in Dalabon and Rembarrnga, two Gunwinyguan languages spoken in the same cultural environment. The comparison shows that in spite of many mismatching linguistic properties, the emotions that these diminutives can express remain remarkably stable, suggesting strong sociocultural constraints in this semantic domain.

期刊介绍： Anthropological Linguistics, a quarterly journal founded in 1959, provides a forum for the full range of scholarly study of the languages and cultures of the peoples of the world, especially the native peoples of the Americas. Embracing the field of language and culture broadly defined, the editors welcome articles and research reports addressing cultural, historical, and philological aspects of linguistic study, including analyses of texts and discourse; studies of semantic systems and cultural classifications; onomastic studies; ethnohistorical papers that draw significantly on linguistic data; studies of linguistic prehistory and genetic classification.
