摘要

人体部位词汇在各种语言里基本上都属于编码较早的基本词汇,反映了一个民族对于自我以及自我和周围世界关系的认识,因而携带了大量的民族文化信息。本文基于汉语、英语语料库和词典中所收录的鼻部词汇的对比分析,发现汉英两种语言在鼻部词汇上呈现出比较明显的差异,尤其是外鼻词汇的编码密度和构词规律上有较大的差异。这种差异反映了汉英两种语言在语言类型上的不同,也反映了汉英两种语言背后的民族历史文化和思维方式的差异。

Abstract

Human Body Part Vocabulary is part of the core vocabulary of most languages in the world, which can mirror peoples’ different perceptions of human body and the relationship between human beings and the world and thus carries lots of information related to a specific people. This paper bases its research on a comparative analysis of the Nose Words included in the Chinese and English corpus and dictionaries. It is concluded that there exists a great difference between the Chinese and the English Nose Words in number, frequency, register and word formation. The author argues that the differences in linguistic typology and in cultural traditions are the main factors.
