題名 A Corpus-Based Study of Mandarin Soaking Verbs PAO and JIN. 作者 鍾曉芳
Chung, Siaw-fong貢獻者 英文系 日期 2012-03 上傳時間 6-Dec-2013 18:03:10 (UTC+8) 摘要 A multi-level analysis of the polysemous Mandarin near-synonymous pair PÀO and JÌN is undertaken in this work. We provide a step-by-step account of meanings, which includes analyses of morphemes, argument structures, sense distributions and a later discussion of their possible extensions, as well as a representation of event modules of both verbs. In incorporating the Module-Attribute Representation of Verbal Semantics (MARVS) proposed by Huang and colleagues (2000), it was discovered that PÀO has a wider semantic extension than JÌN does. Although the event structure of `soak objects in liquid` was found for both verbs, PÀO was found to be a composite event of a dual process-state, with the event-internal attribute `toward saturation` [−saturation], while JÌN was found to be a simplex event with an inchoative state, reflecting the event-internal attribute `saturated` [+saturation]. In addition, PÀO collocates with the goal of `hot spring` but JÌN does not. Focusing on the core sense of `soak objects in liquid`, we also discussed the possible semantic extensions of PÀO and JÌN and discovered some metaphorical extensions, such as Part-Whole metonymy, CONTAINER metaphors, and a MASS-COUNT image schema. 關聯 International Journal of Computer Processing of Languages, 24(1),17-36 資料類型 article dc.contributor 英文系 en_US dc.creator (作者) 鍾曉芳 zh_TW dc.creator (作者) Chung, Siaw-fong en_US dc.date (日期) 2012-03 en_US dc.date.accessioned 6-Dec-2013 18:03:10 (UTC+8) - dc.date.available 6-Dec-2013 18:03:10 (UTC+8) - dc.date.issued (上傳時間) 6-Dec-2013 18:03:10 (UTC+8) - dc.identifier.uri (URI) http://nccur.lib.nccu.edu.tw/handle/140.119/62238 - dc.description.abstract (摘要) A multi-level analysis of the polysemous Mandarin near-synonymous pair PÀO and JÌN is undertaken in this work.
