论语义与搭配的互动关系

On interaction of meaning and collocation

语言可分为两大方面:形式(声音和书写)和语义。人们借助形式,即语音或文字来进行交际。形式和意义互为依赖,缺一不可。形式为语义的传播媒介,语义为形式的实质所在;没有无语义的形式,语义为形式的实质所在。形式实际上是通过词与词之间的搭配来体现的,因此语义也就决定搭配,搭配也决定语义。文章从两个方面对它们之间的关系进行论述,阐释他们互为决定的关系。

Language can be displayed in terms of two aspects： form and meaning. With the help of form, people can communicate with each other. Form and meaning cannot be separated from each other. Form is the media of communication, while meaning is the essence of form. Form cannot exist alone without meaning, while meaning cannot be communicated without form. In fact, form is realized by collocation. Therefore, meaning determines collocation while collocation determines meaning. This paper argues their relationship from two aspects and found that they can determine each other.
