从语义的层次性探析歧义现象

A research on ambiguity from the perspective of semantic structure

试图从层次理论入手 ,分别从词汇歧义和句法歧义对语言中的歧义现象进行分析 ,阐明其形成过程 ,探析其形成原因。认为词汇歧义的形成是由于交际双方对同一词汇的意义作了不同层次的理解 ,句法歧义的形成则是由于对一个句子的结构作了不同层次的划分 ,或者是由于句子的表层意义和深层意义有别。因此 ,在交际中如果能联系具体的语境 ,对发话者使用的词义或句义的层次作出正确判断 ,就能准确理解对方的话语意义 。

This paper explores the forming of lexical ambiguity and syntactic ambiguity with particular stress exerted on the perspective of semantic structure. It holds that the different levels of a word make lexical ambiguity arise, while syntactic ambiguity arises either because of the different division of a sentence structure or because of the difference between the surface meaning and deep meaning of a sentence. Therefore, by making a correct judgment of the structures of words or sentences, one can obtain the speaker′s exact meaning and avoid ambiguity.
