英语多义词词义特有语义特征研究

An Experimental Study on Distinctive Semantic Features of English Polysemous Word Senses

本文通过语义启动实验研究英语学习者多义词词义特有语义特征的表征状态和加工特点,通过与共享语义特征加工比较,探究特有语义特征在多义词加工中的作用。结果表明,高水平学习者多义词不同频率词义的特有语义特征加工具有优先性,低水平学习者低频词义特有语义特征不具有加工优先性。英语学习者多义词语义特征动态发展,在多义词语义加工中起着重要的作用。

This paper investigates the representation and processing of the distinctive semantic features of polysemous word senses of English learners through semantic priming experiments.By comparing with the processing of shared semantic features,the role of distinctive semantic features in polysemous word processing is explored.The results of data analysis indicate that high⁃level lear⁃ners have priority in processing of distinctive semantic features of polysemous word senses with different frequency,while low⁃le⁃vel learners do not have processing priority for low⁃frequency senses.The dynamic development of the semantic features play an important role in the processing of polysemous word senses.
