摘要
语言符号是音义结合的产物。近年来,受到国外音义象似性研究热潮的影响,国内众多学者也转而探讨语言的象似性问题。在借鉴前人研究的基础上,该文讨论了英汉语言中的数量音义象似性特征。并通过例证的方式,从词与词之间异同、类聚和正反三个方面,结合语音学和语言学重点分析了英汉语言中的数量音义象似性的合理性。以期能够揭示语言与思维,语言与认知之间的联系,希望能够引起人们对语音象似性研究的重视,同时期望为人类文明演进的研究提供有力证据。
Language is a product of the combination of sound and meaning. In recent years, under the influence of phono-semanticiconicity study boom in western countries, lots of domestic scholars have moved to explore the iconicity of language. On the basis ofprevious studies, this article emphasizes on the discussion of quantity phono-semantic iconicity in Chinese and English. Since it iscommonly recognized that there are three kinds of relationships between words, namely, to be similar, different and opposite, sothis article cites examples from these three angles and with the guidance of phonetics and semantics it analyzes the cognitive ratio-nality of quantity phono-semantic iconicity in language, especially in Chinese and English, in an attempt to reveal the connectionbetween language and human thinking as well as the relationship between language and cognition, which to an extent may raisepeople's interest in phono- semantic iconicity study and can provide solid evidence to interpret the evolution of humancivilization.
