语言的交际功能

1、语言的交际功能，使词语之间的搭配成为必然和普遍的现象，但这方面的研究相对滞后。 并置理论研究习惯性的搭配，从Firth提出collocation这一概念，到现在已经发展成为一 种公认的研究方法和角度，但各家各派研究目的不同，使得理论内包庞杂，没有形成统一 的认识和理论体系。本文试图综合各种研究成果，建立一个关于并置理论的清晰的界说， 其中包括对理论本身的认识，理论的运作层面和机制，最后，展望该理论对其他研究的启 示。全文共分三个大的部分。一、理论界定及发展Collocation，词典译为“（词语的）搭 配，相配；经常搭配着用的词语”。Collocational Theory，本文取“并置理论”

2、的译法，关于 它有代表性的定义是：研究“相关的（或然的）词汇一语义关系的。这种理论的基本论点 是：某些词与另一些词是有联系的；这是一种相关的（或然的）语义联系。Collocation 主要有三个发展阶段：作为意义的搭配；作为内聚的搭配；作为限制的搭配。二、理论解 析2.1概念理解：以理论的点睛之处“相关”和“或然”为线索。2.1.1相关：几个词语倾向于 在一起出现，首先必须是语义上相关，这种相关还应该是一定条件下的相关，体现在口语 中就是话题，体现在书面语中，就是语域，它们对所生成话语的词语选择构成宏观限制。 2.1.2或然：几个意义相关的词语能否连续出现，只能，期待”，而不能强制要求。通过区

3、分 几个概念：选择限制与选择倾向；类连接与搭配；个人搭配与常用搭配；固定搭配与自由 搭配；可能性与典型性，掌握或然”的实质，并将并置理论的研究范围设定在几项区分的 连续体的后端。2.2运作情况：词汇为其体，短语、句子、语篇为其用。2.2.1词汇：并 置理论虽以语义上的相关为根基，但词汇仍是它表现的外衣”。“跨距”是进一步讨论的基 础，原则上，并置理论不做跨距限制，同现的词语不必在同一句法结构内，但为了操作方 便，在语料库语言学中，一般把跨距定为节点词左右四个词语。2.2.2短语和句子：同现 于其中的词语多在一个句法结构内，是外语教学研究的重点，也是计算机信息处理的难关。 2.2.3语篇：搭配是

4、语篇词汇衔接的手段之一，以语义连贯为宏旨。一般来说，连贯需要 词汇上的衔接，衔接手段丰富会导致语篇连贯。并且，衔接标记有利于篇章连贯性的定量 分析。2.3运作机制2.3.1外延的解释：语言是客观现实的反映，在现实中有联系的事物， 它们之间的关系在语言中也能得到反映。但语言毕竟是一个独立的符号系统，它有自身的 逻辑语义规范。2.3.2内涵的解释:2.3.2.1 一般来说，在语义上有联系的词语，思维时就容 易将它们放在一起，这样的词语共现的可能性就比较高。但有的并置的词语难以用语义解 释，因为词义只是概括地反映事物的本质特征;有的有语义关系的词语却不能并置在一起， 这说明，搭配是无理性的。2.3.

5、2.2出现上述现象的原因只能理解为习惯使然，并置理论是 语言使用因循性的反映。但由于语用的因素不易确定，对并置理论的研究至今仍然限定在 语义范围内，这是必要的。三、理论应用3.1对语义研究的启示3.1.1义素分析和语义场 是现代语义学两个基础性的理论，意义重大，但也有缺陷。通过并置理论，可以为确定义 素的标准、分化义素之间的地位、修正义素的静止状态、建立组合语义场提供依据。3.1.2 搭配意义：同现词语构成所研究词的微型语境，词语的意义就存在于这个语境中，这就是 搭配意义。由于语言的交际功能，它的存在有理论上的支持。搭配意义有静态和动态之分， 是每个词语独有的意义。了解搭配意义的存在，有利于深

6、化对词语之间联系的认识，如同 义词和反义词。3.2对句法研究的启示3.2.1并置理论代表词语之间搭配或然性较强的趋势， 这种倾向性到达一定程度，就是语法上的限制性，这是由词语驱动的。3.2.2词语在句子 中的出现不仅受语法结构的限制，还受词汇结构的限制。词是集意义和语法于一体的形式。 搭配一词的含义就在于它揭示了词语组合行为的有限性。3.2.3这种词汇关于语法的陈述， 一方面可以解释语法不能处理的那部分语言形式，另一方面，这种陈述其实就是词汇研究 本身。3.2.4由此可见，自然语言是复杂的，通过语料库语言学建立“或然语法”应该是语法 研究的前瞻课题，可以帮助发现以前从未被注意的语言事实。The
