聋人的亲属词概念结构——兼与汉族健听人的亲属词概念结构比较

The Conceptual Structure of Kinship Words of Hearing-Impaired Persons——A Comparison with the Conceptual Structure of Kinship Words of Normal-Hearing Chinese Han Nationality Persons

采用自由分类法探讨聋人的亲属词概念结构,并同汉族健听人比较。实验1和实验2要求聋人分别对汉语亲属词和手语亲属词分类。结果表明:(1)聋人的汉语亲属词概念结构有两个维度:亲属的亲密程度和亲属关系的性质。聋人的手语亲属词概念结构也有两个维度:亲属关系的性质和亲属的亲密程度。聋人对汉语亲属词和手语亲属词的分类既相似,又有差异。(2)聋人与健听人对汉语亲属词的分类既相似,也有差异,反映了汉语言文化和手语的双重影响。

This study, by means of natural classifying and a comparison with normal-hearing persons, probesinto the conceptual structure of Chinese kinship words and sign kinship words from hearing-impaired persons. The results show the following： the conceptual structure of the said two types of kinship words both involve two dimen- sions： the intimate relationship between the relatives, and the nature of the relatives; hearing-impaired persons classify the two types of kinship words in a similar but somewhat different way; both hearing-impaired persons and normal-hearing persons classify the two types of kinship words in a similar but somewhat different way, which re- flect the effects of both Chinese-language culture and sign language.
