论相邻引申

On Adjacent Derivation

引申从动因的角度可以概括为相似引申和相关引申两大类型,相邻引申属于相关引申的一个条例,是至今尚未被充分了解的引申现象。相邻引申指词义所指的对象由于在位置上与其他对象相邻相连,由此引发该词义引申出指称相连对象的意义。由于人们对自然客体不同部位的划分具有普遍性,这为相邻引申提供了广阔的发展空间。清醒认识到词义衍生存在相邻引申这样一种引申路径,可以解决很多词义义源及字词关系方面的疑难问题,有助于正确梳理词义系统的发展演变,有助于全面系联同源词族,这对词汇研究无疑具有方法论的价值,值得引起大家的重视。

Derivation of meanings of a word from motivation angle can be summarized as two types, namely similar derivation and related derivation. The adjacent derivation belongs to one rule of related derivation, it's a derived phenomenon that has not yet been fully understood so far. Adjacent derivation means that the meaning of a word derives a new meaning because the object the original meaning refers to is adjacent to the object the derived meaning refers to. As the division of different parts of the natural object is universal, this provides a broad space for adjacent derivation. Being consciously aware of the existence of the derived path, we can solve many difficult problems in word meanings. Undoubtedly, adjacent derivation has methodological value on the study of vocabulary, worthy of everyone's attention.
