网络流行语新“泪X”抽象化表义的认知机制及理据

The Cognitive Mechanism and Motivation of the Network Buzzword New"lei(泪)X"

新“泪X”是一种时鲜性和认知典型性突出的网络流行语。基于语料库考察其形式语义特征,并从抽象化视角探讨其意义生成的认知机制和理据。研究发现:“泪”和“X”受限于特定的形式和语义,二者形成的新“泪X”具有主观评价义和极高量义,意指“无比感动/喜悦/悲伤等以致流泪”,其形简意赅的特点造成其抽象化程度高;其抽象化表义有转(隐)喻、类推、构式化三种认知机制;其抽象化表义的理据主要来源于“X”的语义指向、语境和语用义的压制。

The“lei(泪)X”is a kind of a new network buzzword with obvious cognitive typicality.This corpus-based study,analyzing its form and semantic features,studied its cognitive mechanism and motivation in its meaning production by an abstractional approach.It revealed that“lei”and“X”are both restricted to some particular form and meaning,and the“lei(泪)X”construction has the feature of subjective evaluation and high quantification---“very(moved/happy/sad)to the point of shedding tears”.Its simple-form-with-rich meaning leads to its high abstraction;its abstraction contains the cognitive mechanisms of metonymy(metaphor),analogy and constructionalization;and its abstracted motivations mainly originate from“X”’s semantic orientation,context and pragmatic coercion.
