基於語料庫的《紅樓夢》文本分析:以程度副詞爲例

Corpus-based Text Analysis on Red Mansions:with the Degree Adverbs as Examples

《紅樓夢》的作者問題,語言學界有過很多討論。語料庫語言學作爲一種新的研究範式具有獨特優勢,對數似然率是用來判定不同語料庫的詞彙是否存在差異的常用方法。本文以程度副詞爲切入點,利用對數似然率來考察《紅樓夢》前80回與後40回是否存在差異,進而管窺《紅樓夢》前後兩部分是否爲同一作者所作。總體來看,《紅樓夢》前80回與後40回在程度副詞的使用上具有顯著的差異,說明這兩部分可能不是同一人所作。具體而言,《紅樓夢》前80回與後40回程度副詞的使用有同有異,存在四種不同的類型,需加以區別分析。

There has been a lot of discussion on the author of Red Mansions from linguistic perspective.As a new research paradigm,corpus linguistics has unique advantages,and the log-likelihood ratio is an available method to determine the differences in words of different corpora.This paper takes degree adverbs as the pointcut,using the log-likelihood ratio to examine whether there is a difference between the first 80 chapters and the last 40 chapters of Red Mansions,in order to explore whether the two parts are written by the same author.Generally speaking,some significant differences exist between the degree adverbs in the first 80 chapters and the last 40 chapters,which shows that the two parts are not be written by the same author.Specifically,there are four different types need differentiating and analyzing.
