汉语的语素概念提取与语义构词分析

Towards a Description of Chinese Morphemic Concepts and Semantic Word-formation

作为基础的表义单位,语素及此上的构词分析,既是汉语作为意合语言进行语义分析的起点,也是认知、理解词义的关键。该文提出了一种探寻汉语语义基元和分析词义的新的视角和方法:基于语素义相似度计算形成"同义语素集",用来表征"语素概念",并借鉴生成词库理论形成"语素概念体系";建立在此基础上的汉语语义构词分析,在全局性语义分析、数据挖掘等方面也有新的进展。这些思路、做法及语言资源建设,有望推动人文领域和计算应用等相关工作的开展。

Morphemes and word-formation analysis are the starting point for the semantic analysis of Chinese as parataxis language,as well as the key to understanding the meaning of words.This paper presents a novel approach to exploring the Chinese Semantic Primitives and using them for word meaning analysis,including the Synonymous Morpheme Set construction and the Morpheme Conception representation based on Chinese morpheme similarity,and the Morphemic Concept Hierarchy construction by principles of the Generative Lexicon Theory.A Chinese semantic composition of word is also analyzed.These ideas,practices and language resources are expected to promote the humanities and computing applications as well.
