基于语料库的英汉情感心理动词时体结构对比研究——以未完整体为例

A Contrastive Study on the Tense-aspect Structure of Emotional Psychological Verbs in English and Chinese Based on Imperfective——A Corpus Study

情感心理动词表达的是人们对外界刺激做出的肯定或者否定的反应。以“喜欢/like”“讨厌/hate”为例,通过语料库检索发现英汉语情感心理动词未完整体与不同时制结构匹配等级上的共性与差异。两者的共性在于英汉语情感心理动词未完整体组配现在时的频率最高,而它们与将来时以及过去时组配的情况则恰恰相反。这种共性可以从认知上找到理据,而差异主要在于英汉语编码方式之不同,认知共性对语言现象的解释具有重要作用。

Emotional psychological verbs express people's positive or negative reactions to the external stimuli.Taking"喜欢/like"and"讨厌/hate"as examples,this paper tries to find the similarities and differences between English and Chinese emotional psychological verbs in the matching level of imperfective with different aspect structures through corpus retrieval.The similarities between them lie in the fact that the present tense is most frequently matched with impefective in English and Chinese as a whole,while the occasion of that concerning the future tense and the past tense are just the opposite.This kind of commonness is related to the cognition motivation,while the difference lies in the different coding methods.Cognitive commonness plays an important role in the interpretation of language phenomena.
