“X说”的词汇化

On the Lexicalization of "Xshuo"

现代汉语中有一批两音节或三音节甚至多音节的“X说”已经成为词或正处在词汇化的过程之中,本文列举了未被词典收录的这类具有词汇性质的“X说”,讨论了其词性、功能及形成过程,认为这类词的形成是短语词汇化的结果,其语义演变方式——从言说义向认知义的转变——在汉语史上一再出现,具有一定的普遍性,符合人类由具体到抽象的认知模式。

There are quite a few disyllabic or trisyllabic forms containing 'shuo(speak)' which have lexicalized or are in the process of lexicalization. The trend even extends to some forms that have more than three syllables. These 'X shuo' ('X' stands for all kinds of words that can be combined with 'shuo') forms are lexicalized from phrases. During the lexicalization, through metaphorical use, the meaning of 'shuo' shifted from physical domain to epistemic domain and further entered textual domain.
