时间指示语表义触发机制研究——基于俄汉语言特点

Study on the Mechanism of Semantic Triggering for Temporal Deixis——Based on the Linguistic Characteristics of Russian and Chinese

时间指示语义内涵及外显形式的多重层级加剧表义过程的复杂度。加之时间概念语言表征具有不可割裂的空间特性,时间指示语义被赋予强烈的触发特性,这一问题在时间指示语的研究中鲜有涉及。本文基于对俄汉语言特点的观察,从普通语言学视角挖掘时间指示语形式结构与其表义的密切联系,探讨时间指示表达蕴含的空间隐喻逻辑及由其产生的语义外显触发特性,揭示语境对时间指示语义外显的重要作用,并构建时间指示语义触发的双向机制。

The multi-level hierarchy of the semantic connotations and presentation forms of temporal deixis exacerbates the complexity of semantic expression procedures.In addition,the inseparable spatial characteristic of the linguistic representations of time concepts endows temporal deixis with a strong tendency of semantic triggering,which is a theoretical issue that previous scholars have not addressed in the research of temporal deixis.Based on the observation of the linguistic characteristics of Russian and Chinese,this paper probes into the close relationship between the formal structure and semantic expression of temporal deixis from the perspective of general linguistics,and examines the logic of spatial metaphor in the expression by temporal deixis and the resulting feature of semantic triggering.Furthermore,it reveals the important role of context in the semantic presentation of temporal deixis,and constructs a bidirectional mechanism of semantic triggering for temporal deixis.
