抽象的1。虽然术语“词汇类型学”经常被使用,好像它是不言自明的,但除了它涉及词汇的跨语言研究这一明显事实外,它究竟指的是什么并没有多少共识。许多语言学家可能会同意Lehrer(1992: 249)被广泛引用的定义,即词汇类型学与“语言[…]将语义材料包装成单词的特征方式”有关(参见Koch 2001和Brown 2001的概述)。这将使词汇类型学成为与词汇有关的语义类型学的一个分支,而语义类型学,在埃文斯(即将出版)的定义中,是“对语言如何通过符号表达意义的系统的跨语言研究”。词汇类型学的其他定义,依附于明显更安全的语法接口,关注“词汇语法结构中的类型学相关特征”(Lehmann 1990: 163),或关注词汇-语法相互作用的类型学相关模式与语言特定模式(Behrens & Sasse 1997)。
Abstract 1. Introduction Although the term “lexical typology” is often used as if it were self-explanatory there is not much consensus on what exactly it can refer to, apart from the evident fact that it involves crosslinguistic research on the lexicon. Many linguists will probably agree with Lehrer's (1992: 249) widely quoted definition that lexical typology is concerned with the “characteristic ways in which language […] packages semantic material into words” (cf. the overviews in Koch 2001 and Brown 2001). This would make lexical typology a sub-branch of semantic typology concerned with the lexicon, where semantic typology, in the definition of Evans (forthcoming), is “the systematic cross-linguistic study of how languages express meaning by way of signs”. Other definitions of lexical typology, clinging to the apparently safer interface with grammar, focus on “typologically relevant features in the grammatical structure of the lexicon” (Lehmann 1990: 163) or on typologically relevant vs. language-specific patterns of the lexicon-grammar interaction (Behrens & Sasse 1997).
