“神精病”语误分析

Analyses on the misuse of the Chinese word "shenjing bing"

"神精病"是错误的用法,并不存在"神精病"一词。"神精病"一词,是"精神病"、"神经病"、"精神"、"神经"四个词语混用、乱用的结果。由于这四个词语在词音、词形和词义方面的相似性,才造成词义的混淆,最终导致误用。可从翻译、语音和语素构成三个方面来分析产生错误的原因。

The word of ＂Shenjinɡ Binɡ＂ is a typical misuse because there is no such word in Chinese.＂Shenjing Bing＂ is the result of mixed and wrong use of other four similar words： psychosis,neurosis,spirit,and nerve because of the similarities in pronunciation,word formation and meaning between those four words.This paper analyzed the fundamental causes of＂Shenjinɡ Binɡ＂from three aspects： translation,pronunciation and the word formation.
