论“反复”

On Repetition

本文讨论用语法手段表达的反复。构成反复有两类基本要素:表示动作或现象的基本单元,以及这些基本单元的重复出现。从体的角度考察,反复具有双重的内在时点。反复内部可以再分为同动反复、异动交替反复和异动并时反复三个次类。表达反复的语法手段主要有加叠、对叠、回叠及其他间接复叠格式。从认知语言学的角度看,作为语义领域的反复,与其表达形式复叠之间具有非常大的相似性:都是相同元素的重复呈现。这可以看作语言编码的临摹性原则的一种典型体现。

This paper deals with repetition coded with grammatical devices. Two essential components of repetition are the basic units expressing action or phenomenon and the repeated occurrence of such units. There are two internal temporal points in repetition when it is viewed in terms of aspects. Repetition can be further divided into repetition of the same action, alternate repetition of different actions and simultaneous repetition of different actions. The grammatical devices used to express repetition are double reduplication, contradictory reduplication, reversing reduplication and indirect reduplication. There is a great similarity between repetition in semantic field and the forms of expressing repetition in cognitive linguistic perspective: both involve the repeated occurrence of the same units, which can be regarded as the typical realization of the iconic principle of linguistic encoding.
