摘要
英语拟声词最典型的句法功能是作动词,基本词义是发出词本身音值的声音。大多数英语拟声动词的词义都经历了从描摹声音到转指引发声音的各种事件过程的转喻引申,包容了"事件过程"和"过程伴随声音"等语义要素,不少拟声动词还通过隐喻衍生丰富的比喻义。不同种类的拟声动词由于声音起因不同体现出不同的词义引申规律和词义兼容特征。
English onomatopoeic words are typically used as verbs.Although their basic meaning is the emission of sound whose nature is indicated by the word itself,English onomatopoeic verbs have multitudinous meaning extensions and incorporate complex semantic components such as process and features of concomitant sound.The cognitive mechanism for the meaning extension of English onomatopoeic verbs is metonymy and metaphor.Due to differences in sound sources,different types of onomatopoeic verbs have different meaning extensions and incorporate different semantic components.
