AI总结:

本研究利用分布语义学词嵌入分析汉语两种重叠构式,验证其能恢复语义语法属性,揭示语义语用分化,并证明嵌入可捕捉重叠的语义多样性与构式透明性。

AI中文摘要:

现代汉语中有两种能产的重叠构式,它们重复双字基词或其构成成分(例如,“健健康康”表示“身体健康”,“讨论讨论”表示“讨论一下”)。它们多样的意义被描述为实现复数、情态色彩、语音象征和语用功能。本研究的目标有两个。第一个目标是澄清是否有可能通过使用分布语义学中的词嵌入来更精确地理解汉语重叠的多样化语义。第二个目标是探索嵌入在理解语义复杂的构词过程细节方面的有用性。我们表明,嵌入空间恢复了文献中先前识别的重叠的语义和语法属性,验证了腾讯嵌入用于形态学研究的有效性。语义特征分析显示,重叠构式通常在多个维度上具有强烈代表性。这两种模式在分布空间中表现出清晰的语义和语用分化。普罗克鲁斯忒斯分析阐明,基词空间的整体组织在很大程度上保留在重叠空间中,局部不匹配突出了话语-语用重组的区域。综合来看,这些结果表明,高维词嵌入可以恢复既定的语言学概括,并捕捉汉语重叠的语义多样性和构式透明性。

英文摘要:

Mandarin Chinese has two productive reduplicative constructions that repeat either two-character base words or their constituents (e.g., `in good health', `discuss a bit'). Their varied meanings have been described as realizing plurality, valence coloring, sound symbolism and pragmatic functions. The aim of this study is twofold. A first goal is to clarify whether it is possible to come to a more precise understanding of the variegated semantics of Mandarin reduplication by using word embeddings from distributional semantics. A second goal is to explore how useful embeddings are for understanding the details of a semantically complex word-formation process. We show that the embedding space recovers the semantic and grammatical properties of reduplications previously identified in the literature, validating Tencent embeddings for morphological investigation. Semantic profiling revealed that reduplicative constructions are often strongly represented on multiple dimensions. The two patterns exhibit clear semantic and pragmatic differentiation in distributional space. Procrustes analysis clarified that the overall organization of the base-word space is largely preserved in the reduplication space, with local mismatches highlighting regions of discourse-pragmatic reorganization. Taken together, these results show that high-dimensional word embeddings can recover established linguistic generalizations, and capture the semantic versatility of Mandarin reduplication and constructional transparency.
