《文心雕龙》的篇章连接词研究

Studies on the Discourse Connectives in Wenxin Diaolong

标注《文心雕龙》的篇章结构,据此研究其连接词的显隐、语义及用法。研究发现:(1)隐式关系(78.1%)多于显式关系(21.9%),17类关系仅有四类(因果、转折、假设、目的)显多隐少;(2)各类关系的同义连接词种数与使用有差异,其中种数最多17(顺承),最少则无(总分、背景);(3)连接词(56种)单义为多(44),多义为少(12),义项最多为5,分布有差异。最后,个案分析同义连接词与多义连接词的用法,并与同时期著作连接词的使用进行了对比。

By labeling the discourse structure of the book titled Wenxin Diaolong,we investigate the explicit and implicit discourse connectives,covering their semantics and usage.We reveal the following results：1）the implicit connectives（78.1%）are used more often than the explicit connectives（21.9%）.Among all the 17 types of discourse relations,only in 4 relations（cause-result,transition,hypothetical,purpose）the explicit connectives are used more than implicit ones.2）There are different ways to use synonymous connectives to represent the same relation.On the one hand,the connectives are used most frequently in＂Continuity＂-17 times.On the other hand,the relation of＂Total and Background＂can be set up without any connectives.3）Among all the 56 discourse connectives,monosemous connectives are dominant（44）in contrast to the polysemous（12）,and the most ambiguious connective contains 5 semantic entries.In addition,we conduct case analysis of the usage of synonymous and polysemous connectives,and compare the discourse connective usage in other books of that time.
