Comparative Analysis of Semantic Transparency Between English and Chinese High Frequent Compounds

摘要本研究结合心理语言学和词汇语义学视角,对英、汉高频各1000个复合词的语义透明度类型进行了数值分析,并将其与复合词的词频进行关联。结果表明:语义完全透明和半透明型复合词在两种语言中比例较高,完全隐晦型复合词所占比例较低;汉语高频复合词的词频与语义透明度分布呈正相关,英语高频复合词的词频与语义透明度分布无明显相关性。这充分体现了英汉词汇结构分布上的共性与差异。 The semantic transparency of 1000 English and Chinese high frequent compounds has been analyzed from the psy- chological and semantic aspects and their word frequencies have been related. The results show that in both languages, the number of Transparent-Transparent and Partially-Transparent compounds is larger than that of Opaque-Opaque compounds. Be- sides, the relationship between compound frequency and the degree of semantic transparency is different from that between English and Chinese. Both of these results suggest the common features of mental lexicon process and differences in word structures in English and Chinese.
