同形词意义差别的来源——香港书面汉语和标准汉语中的同形词

Abstract

同形异义词语的来源多种多样,香港书面汉语和标准汉语之间存在的同形词语数量较大,形式也比较多样。本文探讨一般较为少见的两种同形词:一种是由于偶然巧合而形成的,另一种是由于意义及用法向不同方向发展而形成的。同时还分析了香港特殊的语言环境在同形词发展过程中的作用。 Homographic expressions come from various sources.Those found in Hong Kong written Chinese and Standard written Chinese form a special group not only because they are of a larger number but also because they have some unusual derivational pathways. Two types of homographs are discussed in this paper:those which happened to be written with the same characters and those which are the result of semantic extension.
