认知视角下量词“回”的产生机制研究

A Study on theProduction Mechanism of the Quantifier"Hui(回)"from the Cognitive Perspective

文章基于量词“回”的历时梳理,从认知角度分析其产生机制。“回”作为名量词是通过隐喻机制将源域中动作抽象出的“回旋”“回转”特性映射到目标域中具有轮回、往复特性的事件中,因此常与表时间流转的词语搭配;作为动量词则是通过转喻机制侧显动词“回”随时间展开留存的次数而产生,其他量词用法是在此基础上通过隐喻或转喻机制产生。最后通过语料统计分析“回”作为量词在古诗文中与名动形等词搭配的倾向性,并指出这种倾向性与“回”表循环往复的特点相关。

Based on the diachronic analysis of the quantifier“Hui(回)”,this paper analyses that the usage of quantifier of“Hui(回)”originates from original meanings from the cognitive point of view.As a quantifier for nouns,“Hui(回)”maps the gyration and rotation of actions to the cycle and reciprocation of events through a metaphorical mechanism,so it often collocates with the words of time.As a quantifier for verbs,it emerges through the metonymic mechanism to highlight the quantity of verbs“Hui(回)”,on which other quantifier usages are generated through the metaphorical or metonymic mechanism.Finally,the tendency of collocation of the classifier with nouns,verbs and other words in ancient poetry is analyzed by quantitative statistical analysis,and the relationship between them and their original meanings is pointed out.
