摘要
提到英语标点法人们并不陌生。但是 ,当真要问对它们了解多少时 ,恐怕许多人心里就没底了。笔者从语义学角度对英语标点法的基本特征进行了较为深入的探讨和研究 ,并将其概括为四种 :一符多用特征 ;互补性特征 ;任意使用特征 ;语义替代特征 ,从而揭示了英语标点法的基本特征。
Four characteristics of English punctuation are found from the view of semantics in this paper. They are presented as follows: the multiplicity of usage; the mutual complementing; the arbitrariness in using; substitution for meaning. And the four are established through a variety of examples.
