    此次讲座主要围绕语言学语料库简介、语言共选、短语学以及意义移变单位四个主题展开。讲座伊始,卫乃兴教授首先向大家简要介绍了Corpus linguistics的定义。其中,他引用到著名学者McEnery WilsonCorpus linguistics的定义:Corpus linguistics is a study of language based on examples of ‘real life’ language use. 此外,卫教授还指出Corpus linguistics studies的主要特征为它是借助计算机的使用以大量规范、自然、真实的语篇作为基础进行定性与定量研究与分析。与此同时,他还讲到语料库研究的分析工具及数据形式,其中包括:frequency of occurrence, concordances, collocations, patterns, key words.

    讲座的第二部分,卫教授向大家讲解到语言共选的相关概念,主要包括词汇与语法、词汇与词汇及形式与意义的共选。他还指出语言项目的选择并不是独立的而是共同的并以 “task” “job”作为例证进行阐述。此外,卫教授还谈到单个词语不表达主要意义、语言共选将导致词形改变等主要观点。

    随后,卫教授借以例证 “commit” 向大家分别深入讲解了 “phraseology” “phraseological unit” 的定义:phraseology is the study of recurrent co-selections of word forms in integration with their formal semantic and functional features; a phrase is an extended unit of meaning, a functionally complete unit and a unit of analysis.

    最后,在谈到意义移变单位(Meaning Shift Units),卫教授首先提出相关研究成果:1.语言共选将导致词形的改变;2.每一种新的语言共选形式将会产生新的意义;3.语篇是由不同的意义移变单位所构成;4.说话者可以通过选择新的词组形式从而构建新的意义。除此之外,他还向大家介绍了五种可构成意义移变单位的形式:1.core; 2.collocation; 3.colligation; 4.semantic preference; 5.semantic prosody.
