Abstract:

This thesis makes use of an online survey to study the current state of language use among newspapers in the American Midwest. Specifically, it examines editors’ attitudes toward and adaptation to changed language over the course of the last fifteen years. Those years have seen a general relaxation of language-use standards in the allowance of profanity, as well as changes brought about by emerging electronic media including the Internet and text messaging. The survey results indicate editors are gradually reacting to these changes, as opposed to leading the charge for change themselves.

Abstract:

Chinese measure words (CMW) are obligatorily used between numerals/demonstratives and nouns/verbs to count the items and actions. Comparing with Chinese, strictly speaking, there are no measure words in English. This cross lingual difference causes difficulties in the English native speakers’ application of CMW when learning Chinese as a second language according to Lado‘s (1957) Contrastive Analysis Hypothesis (CAH), i.e. the language elements that are different from learners’ native language will be difficult for them. This study adopted an empirical study to find out how L2 learners’ application of CMW is and what the problems are. Before the empirical study, a new categorisation was generated based on the existing studies on CMW categories, and a comparative study was carried out to underpin the study. A questionnaire and a proficiency test were adopted to gather information about the participants of the empirical study. A CMW test was designed to collect data on the English native speakers’ application of different CMW categories and usages. The results of the empirical study suggested that CMW are difficult for the English native speakers who are learning Chinese as a second language. The results also indicated that even though English native speakers have difficulties in the application of most of the CMW categories, some are easier than others. The English native speakers are better at weights and measures, collective nominal measure words and container measure words than standard verbal measure words, borrowed verbal measure words, individual nominal measure words and temporary nominal measure words. Although the cross lingual difference between Chinese and English count for the difficulties, the complexity of some CMW is also the reason. After revealing the difficulties in the English native speakers’ difficulties, some suggestions on teaching CMW in second language learning and application were tentatively proposed.

Abstract:

摘要 “语言决定论”说明了语言和思想之间的联系，且通过分析语言与文化间的关系而不断改善。文化在一个人思想形成的基础阶段中发挥了决定性作用，是语言意识形态的基本特征。于是我们可以假设，文化价值作为一种可以衡量文化影响力的手段，文化影响力理应能够在文字中被识别出来和与文字建立起联系，而这也可与网络新词，这个从未被研究过的领域联系起来。为了证明中国的文化价值对网络新词的影响，笔者会使用“定性内容分析”的方法与“定量分析法”。文化影响了字词的本意，也影响了在网络上出现的新词的意义。此外，中华文化价值与网络新词之间的联系不单可由文化对新词直接的影响中识别出来，亦可间接地在用法中加以识别。而有些网络新词虽然源于其他语言或文化，但是中国文化影响了这些网络新词的语境，使这些新词最终能够与中文融为一体。
Linguistic determinism has prompted one of the earliest discussions about the connection between language and thought. This link has been further refined through the identification of cultural values playing a determinative role on the basic stage of thought formation, which is one of the fundamental aspects of language ideology. Such findings have sparked the hypothesis that cultural influences, in the form of cultural values as measurable means, should be recognized in or connected to words, even to those that belong to previously uninvestigated areas, such as new Internet words. The methodology of qualitative content analysis as well as a quantitative study applied to a sample of new Chinese Internet words and expressions has demonstrated that the influence of Chinese cultural values on them is identifiable to a significant extent. The cultural values either directly affect the words in their original or new meaning or have an influence on the Internet words indirectly, in their usage. Furthermore, it is argued that such connections between the researched Chinese cultural values and the meaning or usage of the collected new Chinese Internet words and expressions are not only to be strictly categorized into direct and indirect influences but should be considered in a broader sense. Despite some words and expressions originating from other languages and cultures, the influence of Chinese cultural values should still be acknowledged since it is through these that words are able to integrate into the Chinese language.

Kwan, Pun-lok David, and 關本樂. "Lexical blending among young Chinese readers." Thesis, The University of Hong Kong (Pokfulam, Hong Kong), 2012. http://hub.hku.hk/bib/B49617825.

Full text

Abstract:

Lexical compounding refers to the process of word formation through union of lexicalized morphemes. Given that young Chinese readers learn print vocabulary as unanalyzed whole, I am uncertain whether children can effortlessly decompose bound morphemes from disyllabic words for lexical compounding to occur. With this concern, I propose a lexical blending process in parallel with lexical compounding, where words are constructed from previously learnt words that have not yet been decomposed as morphemes. This thesis investigated the mechanisms behind the lexical blending process, as well as its role in word reading among young Chinese readers, in five studies Studies One and Two examined the factors that favor lexical blending to occur. In Study One, I located a high proportion of disyllabic words and bound morphemes within a corpus of Chinese textbooks in Hong Kong. Around 40-50% of disyllabic words in Grade One to Grade Three are composed of one or more bound morphemes, which set a favorable environment for lexical blending to occur. In Study Two, I found that younger readers tended to commit more selection errors, defined as “naming the target character as a character that forms a highly frequent two-character compound word with it” (Shu, Meng, Chen, Luan and Cao, 2005), than older readers during character reading, suggesting that their representations of bound morphemes were not precise. An experiment on morpheme name judgment demonstrated that bound morphemes and low frequency morphemes embedded in high frequency words were most prone to selection errors. I further examined the lexical blending process and its contribution to reading development in Studies Three and Four. Adopting a cross-sequential design in Study Three, I found that lexical blending concurrently and longitudinally predicted Chinese word reading, after lexical compounding and other reading-related variables were partialled out. In Study Four, I located lexical class and structural relation knowledge as significant component skills of lexical blending. The process of lexical blending proceeded first with structural arrangement of words, followed by morphological decomposition and union of morphemes to eventually form a blended word. I also tested Chinese dyslexic readers’ performance on lexical blending in Study Five. Dyslexic readers exhibited difficulties in lexical blending and all the related component skills, when compared with chronological-age (CA) matched controls. Process-wise, the dyslexic readers were weaker than CA controls in both structural arrangement and morphological decomposition, while having particular difficulties in the latter process. I conclude that lexical blending is an important word formation process for young Chinese readers. To aid mastery of lexical blending, readers should be aware of the syntax in phrases and sentences, as it provides cues on structural arrangement of blended words. In addition, I suggest explicit instruction on lexical blending skills in the curriculum, with a particular focus on morphological decomposition, in order to meet the learning needs of dyslexic readers.

Abstract:

随着社会的发展，尤其是互联网的发展，很多语言每年都涌现出了不少新词汇。词语是每个语言最基本也是最重要的组成部分，因此分析这些新词汇的结构特点以及构词法是很有意义的。这篇文章分析了2014年出现在中文里的新词汇和它们的构词方式，论文的目的是为了更好地了解中文词汇的发展和特点。本文以《2014汉语新词语》中公布的2014年出现的新词汇作为语料进行分析，发现了以下两个主要特点：第一，合成法，派生法，缩略法是2014年产生的新词汇的主要构词方式；第二，百分之七十二的新词汇是多音节词（包含三个或者三个以上音节），而百分之八十的是名词。这些特点说明中文词汇现阶段的特点和发展趋势，跟传统的中文词汇有不同之处。
The aim of this thesis was to investigate how new Chinese words are formed and to examine the linguistic patterns among them. This thesis focused on the analysis of Chinese words formed in 2014. The quantitative data for the analysis included a collection of 423 new Chinese words from the book 2014 汉语新词语 (hànyǔxīn cíyǔ) by Hou and Zhou. Parts of speech and number of syllables in the new words were investigated, although the focus was on word-formation processes. A discussion of derivation, blending, abbreviation, analogy, borrowing, change of meaning, compounding and inventions is also included. The share of each word-formation process used for each of the new words was presented statistically in order to reveal the significance of each word-formation process. The analysis showed that compounding, derivation and abbreviation were the major word-formation processes in 2014. The study also suggests that words formed by derivation and analogy were much more frequent in 2014, in comparison to previous studies. Furthermore, the ways words are formed in Chinese are changing and evolving, as some word-formation processes are becoming more frequently used in the formation of new words.

Abstract:

This study aims at examining the use of color word “qing” and its combinations in Chinese language. “Qing” is one of the earliest appeared color words in Chinese language. It is a unique color word which can represent the colors of green, blue, black and white. Due to its complex meaning, it is difficult to understand which color does “qing” stand for in different cases. On the other hand, “qing” is a frequently used color word in both ancient and modern Chinese language. Words and phrases formed by “qing” can express symbolic meanings other than color. To begin with, the first chapter introduces the research background, objectives and key points of the study. In the second chapter, the origin, inherent and extended meaning, as well as the combinations of “qing” and other color words will be analyzed. Apart from their meanings, the grammatical characteristics are also important to a comprehensive study of “qing” and its combinations. In the third chapter, “qing” and its combinations will be discussed in the aspects of word-formation, syntactical functions and sentence structure. The fourth chapter is about the usage and effect of “qing” and its combinations with regard to rhetoric. Examples of “qing” and its combinations which create specific rhetorical effects in Chinese literature were discussed. The last chapter serves as a conclusion, highlighting the research results of this study. This dissertation attempts to discuss “qing” and its combinations in different angles to provide nutrition to the overall study of “qing”.

Abstract:

“Gold” is a colour indicating the colour of an object. It is a unique colour word which represents the colour of gold. From ancient to the present, “gold” is a common Chinese word which is frequently used in the literature. Furthermore, “gold” is the symbol of goodness in the traditional Chinese society. Nowadays, “gold” represents noble, luxury, wealth, hope, etc in the cultural connotation. This dissertation consists of five chapters. The first chapter introduces the research background, purpose of the topic and key points of the study. The second chapter is divided into three parts. In the first part, it begins to look for the semantic origin of the colour word “gold” by analyzing its original meaning, aboriginal meaning and quotative meaning. In the second part, it demonstrates the development of cultural connotation in China and elaborates the cultural connotation in the present Chinese society. In the third part, the colour word “gold” is compared with the colour words “yellow” and “red” to identify their differences and similarities of cultural connotations. In the third chapter, it mainly focuses on phraseology function of “gold” and its combinations. Meanwhile, the aspects of word-formation, syntactical functions, sentence structure of “gold” and its combinations will be discussed. The fourth chapter analyzes the usage and effect of “gold” and its combinations with regard to rhetoric. It also illustrates and explains the features of usage and rhetorical effects on seven categories of figures of speech which are fairly typical. The last chapter is the conclusion of the whole dissertation. “Gold” is a very unique colour word which differentiates from other colour words such as “red”, “yellow” and so on. “Gold” has been representing a positive image from the past, even nowadays, “gold” is still one of the most glamorous colours.

Full text

Abstract:

Kulturspezifische Ausdrücke spielen bei der verbalen Kommunikation eine wichtige Rolle, dies gilt umso mehr für die interkulturelle Kommunikation. Missverständnisse können durch Fehlselektion eines situativ ungeeigneten Ausdrucks ausgelöst werden, effiziente und störungsfrei verläuft eine Kommunikation hingegen erst bei einem tieferen Verständnis dieser kulturtragenden Ausdrücke. Kulturspezifische Ausdrücke werden in der interkulturellen Kommunikation als sogenannte Hotwords bezeichnet. Ihre Bedeutungen lassen sich schwer in eine andere Sprache übertragen und ebenfalls schwer im Unterricht erlernen, da jede Kultur einem eigenen Konzept folgt. Zur Erhöhung der Sprachsicherheit und des tieferen Sprachverständnisses muss daher im Unterricht eine intensive Beschäftigung mit den abstrahierten semantischen Merkmalen dieser Hotwords erfolgen, da im Sprachverarbeitungsprozess die situationsgemäße Identifizierung präferiert über die semantischen Merkmale kulturspezifischer Ausdrücke erfolgt. Erst dann kann im mentalen Lexikon beim Sprachverstehen und bei der Sprachproduktion eine der Situation angemessene Identifizierung dieser Indikatoren erfolgen. In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden die semantischen Merkmale der höflichkeits- und ge-sichtsbezogenen Ausdrücke im Chinesischen im chinesisch-kulturellen Kontext erarbeitet und ihre in den Chinesisch-Deutschen Wörterbüchern vorhandenen Übersetzungen ins Deutsche diskutiert.
Culture-specific expressions play an important role in verbal communication; this applies even more to the intercultural communication. Misunderstandings can be triggered by the faulty selection of a situational appropriate expression; on the other hand, efficient and trouble-free communication can be achieved by a deeper understanding of these cultural expressions. Culture-specific expressions are the so-called Hotwords in intercultural communication. Their meanings are difficult to transfer into another language and also difficult to learn in the classroom, because each culture follows its own concept. Therefore to increase language skills and understanding an intense preoccupation with the abstract semantic features Hotwords must be done in the classroom, because in the speech processing the situation proper identification prefers to be done through the semantic features of culture-specific expressions. Only then these proper indicators of situation can be identified in the mental lexicon during language comprehension and language production successfully. In this paper, the semantic features of politeness and face-related Words in Chinese in the Sino-cultural context are developed and their translations into German in the existing Chinese-German dictionaries are discussed.

Abstract:

In sum, the three studies suggest that, on one hand, Chinese compound words, particularly the opaque ones, seem to be represented as holistic orthographic units in the mental lexicon. On the other hand, the meanings of the component morphemes are activated in visual recognition of Chinese compound words, suggesting a decomposed access. The implications of these results for a model of Chinese compound word representation and access, as well as the dispute between morpho-orthographic and morpho-semantic decomposition accounts of morphological processing in other languages, were discussed.
Study 2 adapted the transposed-letter similarity effect in English (Forster, Davis, Schoknecht, & Carter, 1987; Acah & Perea, 2008) into transposed-character similarity effect in Chinese to further examine the orthographic representation of Chinese compound words. Study 2 examined the processing of both transposable and untransposable compound words to distinguish the decomposed account (which assumes morpheme-to-word activation) and the holistic account (which assumes activation of word-level orthographic representation) of the mental representation of Chinese compound words. It was found that transposable word-word pairs (e.g., [special characters omitted], means tie in English-[special characters omitted], means lead in English) did not produce significant priming effects. This result is inconsistent with the decomposed account, but is explicable in terms of the holistic account. Two follow-up experiments show that the transposed-character similarity effects differ for transparent (e.g., [special characters omitted], means proud in English) and opaque words (e.g., [special characters omitted], means careless in English). Transposed nonwords show significant facilitation effect to the original words when the original words were opaque (e.g., [special characters omitted]) but not when they were transparent words (e.g., [special characters omitted]). It suggests that opaque words are more likely than transparent words to be represented as orthographic wholes. The findings of word-level orthographic representation and the influence of semantic transparency provide convergent evidence for the conclusions reached by Study 1.
The first two studies are concerned with whether Chinese two-character compound words have decomposed or holistic orthographic representations in the mental lexicon. Study 1 made use of the high frequency orthographic neighbor inhibition effect (Grainger & Jacobs, 1996; Davis & Lupker, 2006) in the masked priming paradigm. It was found that a high frequency orthographic neighbor (e.g., [special characters omitted] means virtually in English) inhibited recognition of a low frequency target word (e.g., [special characters omitted], means brief in English). The high frequency orthographic neighbor inhibition effect was supposed to be caused by lexical competition between prime and target words (Grainger & Jacobs, 1996). Therefore, the observation of inhibition in Study 1 suggests that the prime words have word-level representations that compete with those of target words for lexical access. It is argued that the activated word-level lexical representation is likely to be orthographic representation, rather than phonological and semantic representations, because the influence of phonology was found to be limited in a follow-up experiment, and the semantic relatedness between the prime and target words was low. Furthermore, because the inhibition effects were stronger for semantically opaque than transparent compound words, it seems that opaque words are more likely than transparent words to be represented as unitary units.
The third study investigated whether or not the meaning of a component morpheme would be activated in the process of recognizing a Chinese two-character compound word. Current accounts of morphological processing disagree on whether morphological processing is form then meaning, or form with meaning (Feldman, O'Connor, & Del Prado Martin, 2009; Davis & Rastle, 2010). The focus of the debate is actually whether morpheme meaning activation occurs at early stage of compound word processing. This study attempted to contribute to that debate by trying to dissociate morphological processing of form and meaning. The method was to investigate masked priming effects produced by prime-target pairs that contained a pair of semantically related morphemes but without any overlap in orthography, phonology or whole-word meaning (e.g., [special characters omitted] /surprised in English/-[special characters omitted]/break one's promise in English/). Since there was no overlap between the prime and the target in form, any priming effects produced could be attributed unequivocally to activation of morpheme meaning (e.g., [special characters omitted], both means eat in English). The results of Study 3 show that morpheme meaning activation without form overlap occurred as early as the first 60ms of word processing. This finding is more consistent with the form-with-meaning than the form-then-meaning account.
This dissertation reports on three studies of the cognitive representations and processes in visual recognition of Chinese two-character compound words. Because Chinese two-character compound words are composed of two spatially separated characters which themselves are words, there has been a debate about whether these words are represented and processed in the mental lexicon as unitary wholes or as combinations of the component characters (Zhang & Peng, 1992; Taft & Zhu, 1995).

Abstract:

This thesis presents an ethnographic study based in the city of Toronto on how ethnic Chinese negotiate their ambivalence towards the category “Chinese-Canadian”, particularly in relation to discourses about race, ethnicity and language. It is the finding of this study that second generation, economically privileged ethnic Chinese women are likely to feel most comfortable with the aforementioned category, in relation to their counterparts. This is because they are most likely to be able to speak Chinese and English, as well as seek out a vocabulary that allows them to make sense of their experience. They are also likely to be most comfortable because, as Chinese is a feminized category, they more easily fit into the mold of what a Chinese person is “supposed” to be like. Ethnic Chinese men, however, are less comfortable with the category and assert their masculinity by engaging in humour driven in racial and ethnic stereotypes.

This thesis primarily discusses the principles and concepts of labeling vocabulary in Chinese language teaching materials. The third chapter discusses definitions and the types of words. In addition, this study discusses the difference between words and phrases, including how teaching materials can present verb-complement structures and idiomatic expressions. In the fourth chapter the author establishes a syntactic categories system and discusses the labeling of vocabulary words in teaching materials, using syntactic function to divide the syntactic categories system into eight categories: noun, verb, adverb, preposition, conjunction, particle, measure word, and determiner. In accordance with Chafe’s (1970) concept of “verb-central”, which holds that verbs are the central element of syntax, this study divides verbs into several subcategories based on those proposed by Teng (2010), who divides verbs into action verbs, state verbs and process verbs. After investigating the characteristics of individual verbs, another level of labels were added. We divided action, state and process verbs into transitive and intransitive verbs. State verbs were categorized as either attributive state verbs or predicative state verbs, and auxiliary verbs. Finally, verbs were categorized as either separable words or post-verbal subjects. Finally, the author reviews the adequacy of vocabulary labeling in Chinese language teaching materials, and, based on syntactic category errors collected from a classroom environment, proposes principles and recommendations for the labeling of vocabulary.

Abstract Measure words are an important aspect of communication in Chinese daily life as they function as both units of measurement and classifiers. Using measure words effectively can improve the efficiency of communication, therefore it is important that we realise the importance of these measure words to learners of Chinese. Chinese measure words have always been recognized as a particularly difficult area for foreign learners of Mandarin. The difficulty in acquiring knowledge and effective use of measure words can be attributed to both teaching and study methods. Problems with teaching occur due to poor organisation of learning materials. For instance, a new word may be taught in one lesson, yet the corresponding measure word might not be taught until a later lesson. For students, the perception that these aspects of Chinese are difficult causes a negative effect on studying, or the motivation to study. There has been much research into vocabulary and syntax grading systems. Measure words, however, are sometimes presented as vocabulary, and other times as syntax - yet always assuming an auxiliary role. The improper grading of measure words has resulted in a lack of reference standard for textbooks, subsequently affecting students’ learning. This research attempts to solve the first of the problems above by researching measure words using in Taiwan, measure word dictionaries and related teaching materials. Suitable recommendations for a better grading system of measure words will then be made. This system can also be used as a reference standard for textbook authors and Chinese teachers, thereby increasing their teaching effectiveness.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the structure of a word network consisting a collection of Chinese compound words with the same morpheme yī (yī+X and X+yī), in which any words are connected to each other by various kinds of semantic relevance. In the research process, firstly, the researcher summarized its meaning from two reliable Chinese dictionaries Hanyu Da Cidian and Chong Bian Guoyu Cidian, and used a concept map as a tool to show the systematic relations between the senses of yi. The cognitive linguistic theory was used to explain its semantic evolution and a sense network model of the polysemous word yī. Next, the researcher collected compound words yī+X and X+yī from Practical Audio-visual Chinese, Far East Everyday Chinese, Taiguoren Xue Hanyu. The number of words which occur in these Chinese books is 20. Word structure analysis and semantic transparency estimation are the ways to find out the relationships among yī, yī+X and X+yī is. The results show that the ambiguity of the individual word yī can be used in different contexts to express two or more different meanings. All of them are directly or indirectly derived from its original meaning. From a view of cognitive linguistics, we can see that the most striking types of semantic change is triggered by metaphor. In the course of metaphorical processes in which the source domain corresponds to the target domain, a mapping across different domains of yī has been developed along the following path, which is unidirectional: person (indicating the number of people) > object (indicating the number of things) > activity (indicating the frequency of actions) > space (indicating any actions in a short time) > time (indicating a very short time) > quality (indicating the same). It proceeds from left to right and can be defined in terms of metaphorical abstraction, where a given category is more abstract than any other category to its left and less abstract than anything to its right. After yī turning to be a morpheme of compound words yī+X and X+yī, the semantic changes can be classified into three types: (1) the word meaning the compound is transparent; that is, yī keeps its core meaning, such as yīxiē, yīyuè, wéiyī; (2) the word meaning is stressed on the second morpheme, and the meaning of yi turns to be opaque and merely emphasizes the whole word meaning, such as yīdìng, yīgòng, yīlián; (3) the two morphemes are combined to form a word compound and their meanings are extended to other meanings based on their similarity, which is known as metaphoric extension, and thus the compound meaning is completely different from the literal meaning, such as yīyàng, yīwèi, yīxiàng. Since the results of the study show that the structure of a word network of yī, yī+X and X+yī is quite similar to the cognitive structures, the researcher designs some teaching techniques based on human cognition and applies them to teaching Chinese lexicon for Thai students.

This project is a comparative study of the use of Japanese foreign loan words (Gairaigo) and Japanese Existential Words (Kizongo) by language learners of Chinese native speakers (Taiwanese and Chinese). There is an increasing use of Japanese foreign loan words (Gairaigo) today. NINJAL has showed a consequence of a survey that Japanese tend to use Gairaigo in daily life much more than before. It has been concerned with the topic of the unintelligible meaning and misunderstanding usage between Gairaigo and Kizongo besides, it has not be mentioned that why people use them and what’s the different images between them so far. However, we still could not find a clear way to instruct Japanese learners that how to use Gairaigo and Kizongo appropriately. This project will be the first comparative study of Chinese language learners ( Taiwanese and Chinese ) and Japanese native speakers. The purpose of this study is to know the tendency of usage of Gairaigo and Kizongo, and realize the different images of Gairaigo and Kizongo between Japanese native speakers and Chinese language learners. This comparative survey design is adopted to collect the questionnaire data from Japanese native speakers and Chinese language learners. The results revealed that Japanese native speakers tend to use Gairaigo and Kizongo in daily life than Chinese language learners on the same occasion. In other words, Chinese language learners tend to use Kizongo more than Japanese native speakers on the same occasion. It is thought that Chinese have the culture of Chinese character much more deeper than Japanese. As Chinese to be the native language, they do use and write Chinese characters every day. Chinese characters are the most familiar notations to them in the world.

Abstract:

This thesis has aimed to set out the classification and word production of foreign-inspired Chinese terms (FICT) within the language system of modern Chinese. FICT refers to a group of vocabulary items in Chinese as a recipient language, where formation is motivated by foreign entities or concepts and designated by some foreign words, but no established foreign elements are in fact transferred from the donor language. The thesis establishes a group of terms identified as a particular category of Chinese borrowings according to the motivation of word production, concerning human bodily perception and cognition experience of foreign entities or concepts. Chinese borrowing is categorized as four types: phonic loans, semantic loans, loan blends and FICT, based on the motivation of sound, form and meaning of foreign words, and sensory perception and cognition of foreign entities and concepts. Cognitive semantics, adopted as an approach in the thesis, is a study of mind and its relationship with embodied experience and culture. Employing language as a key methodological tool for uncovering conceptual organization and structure, this study explores the methods of FICT word production, such as sensory perceptual and metaphorical production in terms of principles of cognitive semantics within the Chinese language system. The various types of Chinese borrowings are analysed in terms of the theory of categorization, and FICT in particular are examined under the semantic model proposed here. It is hoped that the thesis is able to open a new approach to the investigation of Chinese loan words and the process of FICT word production within cognitive semantics.
