基于间距效应的时间框架

Temporal Frames of Reference Based on Interval Effect

本研究从时间框架角度对"边A边B"和"又A又B"进行考察,发现"边-边"充当同时框架时强调同时行为的持续同步,但不能组构实体、状态或属性;而"又-又"充当同时框架时则强调同时行为的相继反复,能组构实体、状态或属性。虽然"边-边"和"又-又"具有不同的组构倾向,但二者在使用中却体现出相同的间距效应,即"边-边"或"又-又"之间的字符间距越短,同时框架用例越多,这显示概念框架的形成受语言形式特征的调节。

Drawing on temporal frames of reference, this study addresses two constructions： bian A bian B ＇ side A side B＇ and yòu A yòu B ＇ again A again B＇. It is discovered that bian-bian as a simultaneity frame emphasizes durafive synchronization between pairwise actions, and cannot structure spatial entities, states or properties; yòu-yòu as another simultaneity frame, by contrast, emphasizes simultaneity out of successive iteration, and can structure spatial entities, states or properties. Despite these differences, either bian-bian or yòu-yòu manifests the identical interval effect, i.e., the closer the utterance distance between bian and bian or yòu and yòu is, the more these two simultaneity frames are instantiated. This fact suggests that linguistic features in form regulate the formation of a conceptual frame.
