语义读入——英语歧义句分析新视点

Semantic Reading:A New Approach to Analyzing English Ambiguous Sentences

语句或语词因为语义上的歧义理解产生多种语义读入。词义转类、标点符号、语音、句法结构等都构成对语义读入的影响。语义异常又称为语义破格,英语本族语者的语法知识,除了能分辨歧义句之外,还能判断语义是否有意义或者异常。叶斯柏森的儿童习得语言的理论对认知语义异常现象有启示作用。

Semantic readings, mainly derived from sentences that： are ambiguous in meaning or from ambiguous words that are identical in sound or spelling, are affected by changes in metonymy, punctuation marks, pronunciations and syntactic structures, etc. Besides perceiving semantic ambiguity, a native speaker of English,by applying his grammatical knowledge, can detect meaningfulness and semantic anomalies in sentences. Moreover,children＇s language acquisition as revealed by Otto Jespersen is conducive to our understanding on meaningfulness and semantic anomaly.
