基于语音学与语义学视角的汉英音义象似性研究

A Phonetic and Semantic Approach to the Phono-Semantic Iconicity of Chinese and English Mono-morphemic Words

在音义象似性的考察上,国内现有研究缺乏微观语音学角度的精确描述、对多种语义涵义关系的观察以及从语言本质上对汉英音义象似性理据的思考。从语音学角度用大量实例描述汉英音义象似性,同时以同处一个语义场内的非反义反向关系、反义反向关系的词语为例展示单纯词音义象似性,进而从人类语言与认知起源和进化视角更进一步地寻求汉英音义象似性的理据,可使音义象似性的研究方法更具可行性与规范性,结论更具可验证性。

On the study of phonetic-semantic iconicity,most research lacks the meticulous description from the phonetic perspective,the observation of various semantic connotations and exploration from linguistic nature.On the basis of abundant mono-morphemic word examples with meticulous phonetic descriptions,this paper made a new approach to the phono-semantic iconicity of Chinese and English mono-morphemic words from the angles of semantic field and antonymy and touched on the cognitive rationality of iconicity in the linguistic evolution in an attempt to upgrade feasibility and standardization of phono-semantic iconicity research method as well as the verifiability of phono-semantic iconicity.
