汉英“动用颜色词+宾语”构式主客观感受性倾向的多因素研究

A Multivariate Analysis of the Subjectivity of“Verbalized Colour Word+Object”Construction in Chinese and English

文章采用多重对应分析(MCA)和二项逻辑回归模型(BLR)相结合的方法,分析了汉英“动用颜色词+宾语”构式义的主客观性倾向,对比了汉英主客观感受性倾向影响因素的共性和差异,并应用认知语言学转喻、隐喻和识解理论,阐释了认知动因。基于COCA和BCC语料的多因素分析,研究发现,汉英“动用颜色词+宾语”构式主客观感受性倾向均受一系列因素的影响,其中共同影响因素是动用颜色词、主语有生性、认知方式、语用意义及心理/情感变化,不同影响因素分别是语用意义和语态。不同于英语的客观性倾向,汉语的“动用颜色词+宾语”构式更倾向主观识解。文章对非母语者习得汉英“动用颜色词+宾语”构式及对外汉语教学具有一定促进作用。

This paper contrastively analyzes the subjective and objective tendencies of the Chinese-English“verbalized colour word+object”constructions by means of multiple correspondence analysis(MCA)and bi-nary logistic regression model(BLR),explores the similarities and differences of the influencing factors,and explains the cognitive motivations which affect the subjective and objective tendencies with the application of metonymy,metaphor and construal theories.The multifactor analysis based on COCA and BCC corpora shows that the subjective and objective tendencies of the“verbalized colour word+object”constructions in Chinese and English are influenced by a series of factors,among which the common influencing factors are the verbalized colour words,animacy,cognitive mode,pragmatic meaning and psychological/emotional changes.The different influential factors are pragmatic meaning and voice.Different from the objective tendency in English,the“verbalized colour word+object”construction in Chinese tends to be more subjective.The study is helpful to the acquisition of“verbalized colour word+object”constructions in Chinese and English by non-native speakers and to the teaching of Chinese as a foreign language.
