范畴视阈中的英语交际动词释义现状调查

An Investigation on the Definition of English Communication Verbs from the Perspective of Categorization

文章拟从范畴视角,通过抽样调查的方式对现行五部主流英汉双解学习型词典中的交际动词释义情况进行调查。考虑到研究实际和统计的可操作性,将选取较为常用的交际动词类DISCUSS、SUGGEST、TELL次范畴中的交际动词为样本,从释义内容和释义方式两个维度调查五部主流英汉双解学习型词典中交际动词释义的范畴关联性和差异性,进而探析其优点与不足,以期能为英汉双解学习型词典释义模式的优化提供现实依据。

This research makes a sample investigation on the definition of English communication verbs in the five mainstream English-Chinese bilingual learners dictionaries from the perspective of categorization.For practical purposes and data manipulability,communication verbs with high frequency in the subcategories“DISCUSS,SUGGEST and TELL”are chosen as the objects for study,and the categorical relevance and differences among their definitions are the focus of the investigation.All these may help optimize the definition models in future English-Chinese bilingual learners dictionaries.
