基于物性结构理论与认知的汉语“穷”义项的分布及演变研究

A Study on the Distribution and Evolution of the Meanings of the Chinese Character “Qiong” Based on Cognitive and Qualia Structure Theory

摘要: 本文基于语料库定量方法，对现代汉语“穷”的义项分布进行重新描写。通过标注1000条CCL语料，归纳出8个义项，其中“处境恶劣”“偏僻”等为《现代汉语词典》未明确收录义项。此外运用物性结构理论，从认知角度解释各义项的生成机制，揭示“穷”从空间域到经济域、从具体到抽象的词义演变路径。

Abstract: Based on quantitative corpus-based methods, this paper re-examines the semantic distribution of the Modern Chinese word “qiong”. By annotating 1000 entries from the CCL corpus, the study identifies eight semantic subcategories, including “adverse circumstances” and “remote”, which are not explicitly listed in the Dictionary of Modern Chinese. Furthermore, by applying the theory of qualia structure, this study explains the generative mechanisms of each meaning from a cognitive perspective, revealing the semantic evolution of “qiong” from the spatial domain to the economic domain, and from the concrete to the abstract.
