英文摘要 |
This study examines verbs of conversation, from two directions, bottom-up and top-down, e.g.交談jiao1 tan2 'talk',商量shang1 liang2 'discuss',吵架chao3 jai4 'quarrel', and聊天liao2 tian1 'chat' etc. In addition to the inductive bottom-up method, inducing generalization on the semantic properties of a lexical item by identifying its syntactic behavior and collocations, the deductive top-down approach, deducing semantic attributes from domain ontology is found to be helpful in systematically accounting for the linguistic phenomena. |
