程式语的术语和定义问题研究

程式语是一种出现频率较高、结构较完整、语义或功能较明确的多词单位。近些年来,人们从语料库语言学、心理语言学和第二语言习得等视角对该语言现象进行了大量的研究。但不同的研究在使用的术语及对术语的定义上各不相同。对以往研究中使用的代表性术语及其定义进行评析,总结梳理出程式语的本质特征,在此基础上,提出程式语新的定义。

A Study on the Terminology and Definitions in the Research on Formulaic Sequences

Formulaic sequences refer to a type of multi-word units that are relatively frequent in language use,relatively complete in grammatical structure,and relatively obvious in semantics or functions.Over the past 40 years or so,scholars approached this linguistic phenomenon from such perspectives as corpus linguistics,psycholinguistics and second language acquisition.However,the terms used and the definitions adopted vary from one research study to another.A systematic review of the various terms and their definitions are made in this paper,and based on this review,the author’s own definition of formulaic sequences is finally proposed.
