摘要

名词性复合词是由名词和动词成分结合而成的,在贝罗姆语中非常有用。NV化合物被解释为基于现有名义成分含义的代理人、位置或工具。本研究分析了两种类型的贝罗姆语助动词的语义:mwat tabak“传教士,[字面上,人射击]”和mwat ha“说话者,[字面上,人谈话]”。首先,这两个词都是从NV结构中实现的,化合物的代理意义来源于一个未指定的N [mwat]的解释,该N执行的作用显然是由mwat ha中的V成分表达的,而不是由mwat tabak中的V成分表达的。其次,这两个复合词缺乏英语中通常附加在代理名词后面的-er这样的派生后缀,因此它们都被视为具有不同语义实现的复合词。分析表明,这两种结构不仅在语义上存在显著差异,而且在其具体作用和对言语成分所表达的动作的解释上也存在显著差异。我们认为,化合物中的代理名词在化合物所显示的活性中使用了不同的韵律特征,如音调和音高。因此,我们得出结论,在Berom中,代理化合物的意义可能不一定由化合物的结构和语义特性决定,而是由成分和相关使用上下文之间的相互作用决定。

Characteristics of exocentric nominal compounds in Berom: A semantic view of the noun-verb agentive mwat tabak and mwat ha
Nominal compounds, which are very productive in Berom, are formed by combining the noun and verb constituents. The NV compounds are interpreted as the agent, location, or instrument based on the meaning of the existing nominal constituent. This study analyses the semantics of two types of Berom agentive compounds: mwat tabak ‘preacher, [literally, person shoot]’ and mwat ha ‘speaker, [literally, person talk]’. First, both words are realized from the NV structure and the agentive meaning of the compounds is derived from the interpretation of an unspecified N [mwat] that performs the action which is apparently expressed by the V constituent in mwat ha and an action that is not expressed by the V constituent in mwat tabak. Secondly, the two compounds lack the deverbal suffix such as the English -er that is usually attached to agentive nouns and as such they are both treated as compounds with different semantic realizations. The analyses show that the two constructions vary significantly not only in terms of semantics, but also in their specific role and interpretation of the action expressed by the verbal constituent. We argued that the agent nouns in the compounds employ diverse prosodic features such as tone and pitch, in the activity that the compound revealed. Consequently, we conclude that the meaning of agentive compounds in Berom may not necessarily be determined by the structural and semantic property of the compound but by the interaction between the constituents and the relevant context of usage.
