基于反义词构造的短语语义平衡现象研究——以“救死”与“救活”为例

A study on the phrase semantic balance phenomenon based on the structure of antonyms——Taking“jiu si”and“jiu huo”for example

"救死"与"救活"在语义上都强调通过营救使人或物获得重生。但是"救死"强调营救的对象是濒临死亡的人、物或者境况,"救活"强调营救的结果是使人或物活了下来。"救"与"死""活"这对反义词分别结合之所以能够表达出相同的语义,这与"救"是一种积极性的行为有很大关系。

“jiusi”and “jiuhuo”emphasizes rebirth through rescuing a human being or a thing on semantic sense. But “jiu si”emphasizes the object being rescued is a dying person,thing or situation;“jiu huo”emphasizes the result of rescuing is that a rescued person or thing becomes alive.Combination of“jiu”with “si”and “huo”,an antonym,can experess the same semantic,which relates very much to“jiu”as a kind of aggressive behavior.
