基于语料库搭配研究的汉英基本颜色词语用分析

The Corpus-Based Collocation Study on Pragmatic Features of Basic Color Terms in Chinese and English

颜色词是视觉感知模态的色彩在语言上的表征模式。人类依据在身处客观环境中所获得的感知体验对颜色进行范畴化认知,而客观事物的复杂及多样性使得原型色突破自身范畴进行构词及语用扩展成为必然。运用原型范畴为理论对汉英基本颜色词构词及语用特征进行认知分析,有助于在真实语境下发现汉英基本颜色词的异同点。

Color terms are the representation modes of colors with visual perception mode in languages. Based on the perceptional experience obtained in the objective environment, people cognize various colors in categorization. Inevitably, the complication and diversity of objective things make the prototype colors break through their categories and extend to the word formation and pragmatic usage. Based on the theory of prototype category, this paper tries to conduct a cognitive study on word formation and pragmatic features of basic color terms with the help of objective data in the self-build corpora, in order to find out similarities and differences of basic color terms in Chinese and English in the real context.
