变异复合类网络新词的认知结构分析

＂仿音＂和＂仿义＂属于网络新词中的两类变异复合新词。运用概念整合理论分析其认知结构模型,可知新词在概念整合过程中涉及＂糅合＂和＂截搭＂两种主要整合模式。其中仿音词多为糅合式,而仿义词多为截搭式或混合式。相应地两种新词意义建构过程中涉及的心理空间数目也不相等,前者为双域型概念整合模型,后者为多边型概念整合模型。建模讨论的意义在于探索新词意义建构过程,明确其构词理据。

On Cognitive Models' Construction of Variant Compounds in Chinese Netspeak Neologism

Meaning-imitating compounds and sound-imitating compounds are two kinds of variant compounds in Chinese netspeak neologism. By employing the Conceptual Blending Theory, the paper approaches the cognitive models＇ construction of meaning-imitating compounds and sound-imitating compounds respectively, claiming that blending and haplology are two major means in integrating concepts into emergent meanings. Sound-imitating compounds are achieved principally by blending while meaning-imitating compounds by haplology. Accordingly, mental spaces involved in meaning processing are different in number with the former two conceptual domains and the latter multidomains. The significance of cognitive model construction is two folded, namely, it not only serves as a tentative attempt in meaning processing but also plays the role of exploring the underlining word-formation rules.
