“宁可”词汇化的过程及机制

The Process and Mechanism of the Lexicalization of "NING-KE"(Would Rather)

在汉语史上,"宁可"的词汇化过程历经几个阶段,即"宁"的独用阶段,"宁可"的产生阶段,"宁可"的初步发展阶段,"宁可"的大发展阶段以及"宁可"的繁荣阶段,"宁可"词汇化发展的背后隐藏着促发这一词汇化过程得以实现的机制。考察发现,"宁"与"可"语义上的"兼容"、韵律构词的规则和语用频率效应是促发"宁可"词汇化得以实现的主要原因。

In the history,the course of lexicalization of ＂NING-KE＂（宁可）experienced five stages,namely the sole use of ＂NING＂（宁）,the emergency of ＂NING-KE＂（宁可）,the preliminary development of ＂NING-KE＂（宁可）,the great development of ＂NING-KE＂（宁可）and the prosperity of ＂NING-KE＂（宁可）.There are some internal mechanisms in the course of lexicalization.It is thought that the lexicalization of ＂NING-KE＂（宁可）was effected very much by the integration of the meaning about ＂NING＂（宁）and ＂KE＂（可）,the requirement of rhythm,and the effect of the frequency of use.
