基于语料库对「具体」使用情况的考察

An Investigation of the Use of “Specific” Based on Corpus

基于BCCWJ语料库对「具体」的使用情况进行考察,「具体」作为名词的用法多出现在国会会议录和白书中,构词能力较弱,专业术语性质较强,且单独使用「具体」的用例较少。借助「的」构成形容词后,后接名词时有「具体的なB」和「具体的B」两种用法。前者用法多于后者,二者后续词存在可以互换的情况,能否互换受后续词的限制。前者后续词,不受语种限制,包含抽象、缺乏实质意义的名词。

BBased on the BCCWJ corpus,the use of“specific”in Japanese is investigated in this paper.The use of“specific”as a noun appears mostly in the conference proceedings and white books.There are few cases in which“specific”is used exclusively due to its weak ability in word formation and strong features in terminology.With the help of the adjective suffix,it’s two chief uses when followed by a noun:“specificなB”and“specific B”.The former use is more common than the latter,and the follow-up words of the two are interchangeable depending on the type of followup words.The follow-up words of the former are not restricted by the language including abstract nouns or nouns with substantial meaning.
