基于语料库的英语同义词对比研究——以Accident和Event为例
|
Abstract:
本文以BNC语料库为基础，从词的分布、搭配和语义韵三个角度对event和accident进行对比分析。研究发现，event比accident使用得更加频繁，同时event和accident在书面语言中更常用。Event具有明显的积极语义倾向，而accident具有消极语义倾向。通过这些分析，本文不仅探索了event和accident在真实语料库中的使用差异和语用倾向，而且为传统英语教学提供一个新的视角。
Based on BNC corpus, this paper compares and analyzes event and accident from three aspects: word distribution, collocation and semantic prosody. Studies have found that event is used more frequently than accident. Event and accident are more commonly used in written language. Event has obvious positive semantic tendency, while accident has negative semantic tendency. Through these analyses, this paper not only explores the usage difference and pragmatic tendency of event and accident with real corpus, but provides a new perspective for traditional English teaching.
