《现代汉语词典》释义性词语的统计与分级

On the Statistic and Grading Study of Explanatory Vocabulary in Modern Chinese Dictionary

国外的释义性词语研究始于“基础词汇”词表的研制 ,最终促成使用最低限量词汇释义的词典编纂方法 ,而汉语词典的释义性词语计量研究迄今尚无任何进展。本专题基于现代汉语元语言系统研究的理论方法 ,率先对《现代汉语词典》的释义性词语进行全面性计量研究 ,依据统计结果划分频度相对等级 ,列出《XH释义性语料高频词表》。本研究重在为汉语词典编纂优选释义性词语提供基础 ,也可补现代汉语常用词统计的语料选取缺陷。

The study of explanatory vocabulary abroad begins with the research on basic vocabulary, which ultimately contributes to the approach of using the minimum vocabulary in dictionary compiling. However, the quantitative research on explanatory vocabulary in Chinese dictionaries has made virtually no progress. Based on the theoretic approach to modern Chinese meta-language system, the paper takes the lead in conducting a quantitative study of the explanatory vocabulary in Modern Chinese Dictionary. With the statistic findings, the paper grades the vocabulary in terms of frequency and lists out “The Table For the High Frequency Words in Explanatory Corpus in Modern Chinese Dictionary”. The research paper aims at establishing the foundation for optimizing explanatory vocabulary in compiling Chinese dictionaries, and in the meantime bridging the gap in the selection of the language materials for the commonly used vocabulary counting of modern Chinese.
