本研究基于伦敦英语口语语料库,对英语强化词系统的结构模式和变异机制进行了系统考察。研究发现女性使用强化词的频率要显著超过男性;really已成为年轻人群中最具典型的强化词,而very在年长人群中仍占据支配地位。本研究还对制约强化词系统的形容词句法功能、语义韵、情感色彩、词频等语言变量,以及与年龄、性别社会变量进行了描述论证。
Based on the London English spoken corpus, this study systematically examines the structural modes and variation mechanisms of English intensive word systems. The study found that women use significantly more frequently than men for the use of reinforcement words; really has become the most typical reinforcement word among young people and very is still dominant in older people. This study also describes the syntactic function, semantic rhyme, emotional color, word frequency and other linguistic variables that constrain the system of reinforcement words, as well as the description of the social variables of age and gender.
