网络新形容词“肝”的表义特点与生成机制

The Semantic Characteristics and Generation Mechanism of the New Internet Adjective “Gan”

摘要: 在网络语境中，名词“肝”在“爆肝”的影响下发展出了新的语义和词性，由表“脏器”义的名词发展为凸显“抽象性”、“弱空间性”、“可量度性”与“可消耗性”的抽象事物名词，并衍生出了形化的修饰功能和动化的支配功能。本文重点分析名词性新“肝”和形容词“肝”的句法特点和语义特征；借助认知语言学的视角，在“认知隐喻”(“容器隐喻”)和“去范畴化”等理论的指导下，探究名词性新“肝”和形容词“肝”的生成机制。

Abstract: In the network context, the noun “gan” has exhibited new semantics and parts of speech under the influence of “bao gan”. The noun representing “organ” has developed into an abstract object noun highlighting “abstractness”, “weak spatial”, “measurable” and “consumable”, and has derived the morphological modification function and dynamic control function. This paper focuses on the syntactic and semantic features of the noun “gan” and the adjective “gan”. From the perspective of cognitive linguistics, under the guidance of the theories of “cognitive metaphor” (“container metaphor”) and “de-categorization”, this paper explores the generative mechanism of the new noun “gan” and the adjective “gan”.
