多义词的义位及其关系

The Semantic Units of Polysemous Words and Their Relations

多义词必须是词 ,多义语素不是多义词 ;多义词的各个义位共处在同一个语言系统 ,未进入这个系统的词义不是多义词的义位 ;多义词的义位可以从两个维度观察 ,本义和派生义是历时维度 ,基本义和非基本义是共时维度 。

In this parper the author has discussed three questions: the definition of po lysemous words,the semantic units of polysemous words and their relations .The a uthor thinks that polysemous words should be words,polysemous morphemes are not polysemous words,all semantic units of polysemous words coexist in the same ling uistic system,and the meanings of words that have not entered this system are no t the semantic units of polysemous words.The semantic units of polysemous words can be observed in two dimensions:original meaning and derivative meaning are in diachronic dimension,and basic meaning and unbasic meaing are in synchronic dim ension,so we can't confuse these two.
