“语义单位”说略

Some Remarks on “Semantic Unit”

句子的语义是一个系统,组成句义系统的语义单位可以从小到大划分为义征、义词、义组和义句。义征规定着义词之间组合的可能性以及组合后的语义关系;义词是语义结构的最小单位;义词和义词之间通过义征匹配关系组成义组;义句是以句子的形式负载一个完整信息的语义单位,是句子语义结构的最大单位。

The meaning of a sentence is a system, which is formed by four kinds of semantic units, namely, semantic feature, semantic word, semantic group and semantic sentence. Semantic feature decides the possibility of the matching of different words and their semantic relation. Semantic word is the smallest unit of a semantic construction. Different semantic words form a seman- tic group through the matching of their semantic features. Semantic sentence is the biggest unit of a semantic construction which conveys complete information.
