摘要
波兰语义学派提出的自然语义元语言(NSM)理论是当代语义学中的一种新范式,有着自己独特的研究目标、原则和方法,现已成为当代语言学中以实证为基础的语义分析体系。其研究目标是利用语义基元这一微型语言,为任何语言中的所有词项、语法结构和文化脚本构筑“化简释义”的描写框架。它有两个基本原则:普遍基元原则和化简释义原则,前者是释义单位原则,后者是释义过程原则。NSM理论融合了词汇语义学、语言类型学和跨文化语用学等诸多学科的研究方法,构建了特有的方法论体系。
The natural semantic metalanguage(NSM)approach,advanced by the Polish Semantic School,which can arguably be regarded as a new paradigm in contemporary semantics.Its objective is to work out a “mini-language” of semantic primes,to frame reductive paraphrase explications for all the lexical items in any language,as well as for all language-specific grammatical constructions,and all language-specific cultural scripts.NSM approach has two basic principles:principle of universal primes and that of reductive paraphrase.The former refers to the unit of semantic explications,whereas the latter to the process of semantic description.NSM theory adopts multi-disciplinary research methodology,integrating the methods of lexical semantics,linguistic typology and cross-cultural pragmatics.
