英汉学习型词典习语信息的实证研究

论文摘要

习语对于任何一门语言来讲都是不可缺少的。它们不仅是语言词汇的重要组成部分，而且也是民族文化载体的精华。习语在词典中处理的好坏不仅关系到习语本身的描述也影响到整本词典的质量。虽然当今研究者对习语的研究在不断地深入，但在下面这几个方面的实践研究却不常见：何种习语信息在当今的英汉学习型词典中处理得不够令人满意以及如何在词典中呈现。因此，本文作者将讨论在现有的英汉学习型词典中处理得不够理想的习语信息，涉及到五个方面：语音信息，句法功能信息，搭配信息，其他的语法信息以及语用信息。在本文中作者比较了Big5和两本国内编写的英汉学习型词典对习语信息的处理，并且从使用者的角度出发，通过试验得出中国中高级英语学习者在五种习语信息方面的需求。最后本文提出了在处理这五种习语信息方面的建议和理想的词条。
