原型的概念与认知语言学中的许多分析相关。本文以一个句法实例（与格交替）为基础，介绍了一种基于语料库的技术，用于（i）确定范畴的原型实例，（ii）量化不同范畴成员之间的相似程度。首先，这样的统计原型识别的几个desiderata的动机。其次，我提出了一个多因素的技术来排序的实例结构根据其程度的原型。第三，我证明了所产生的排序结构的支持调查所产生的典型性连续和深入的实验研究的判断数据。最后，我简要地讨论了一些影响，并指出进一步的应用所提出的技术。
The notion of prototype is relevant to many analyses within cognitive linguistics. On the basis of a syntactic example (the so-called dative alternation), this analysis introduces a corpus-based technique for (i) the identification of prototypical instances of categories and (ii) the quantification of the degree of similarity between different category members. First, several desiderata for such a statistical prototype identification are motivated. Second, I propose a multifactorial technique to sort instances of constructions according to their degree of prototypicality. Third, I demonstrate that the resulting sorting of constructions is supported both by investigating the resulting typicality continuum and an in-depth experimental study of judgement data. Finally, I briefly discuss some implications and point to further applications of the proposed technique.
