基于语体语法的科学术语韵律构词分析

On the Rules of Prosodic Word-formation in Scientific Terms Based on Register Grammar

本文对7个领域科学术语的韵律构词规则进行了分析,发现科学术语与口语体词汇在构词中采用了不同的韵律组配模式。口语体词汇遵循自然音步的节奏模式,右向组构音步,而科学术语的音步组构需依据术语内部的词法结构进行。两者在韵律构词上的差异主要体现在单音节词根语素与双/多音节词构成的[N-N]、[V-N]、[A-N]复合词中,具体如表1所示。

Scientific terms differ greatly from colloquial words in prosodic word formation.Colloquial words follow the rhythmic pattern of a natural foot and group syllables into feet from left to right.Scientific terms are highly restricted by their morphological structures in foot-formation and present more variants on rhythmic patterns.The differences between scientific terms and colloquial words in prosodic wordformation can be observed in[N-N],[V-N],[A-N]compounds which are composed of monosyllabic root morphemes and disyllabic or polysyllabic words.All the facts in this paper indicate that different registers have different rules in prosodic wordformation,and we must make a concrete analysis of specifi c register in the study of word-formation.
