基于"术语在线"的科技术语多义表征研究——以航空和航海术语为例

文章以“术语在线”为主要验证平台,以全国科学技术名词审定委员会发布的权威词库为基准语料,对航空与航海相关领域的若干典型交叉词条的义项进行了对比分析,并就其语义框架与阐释空间进行研究。研究发现:首先,在航空与航海领域存在大量的同形同义、同形异义和同义异形现象。其次,此类术语的语义表征依赖于特定的联立关系,受到相应概念元素的规约。一方面,在其依存的具体语义框架内,其语义表征符合单义性原则;另一方面,在学科交叉背景下,该类术语具备明显的学科间性特征,其语义表征具有多义阐释空间。

A Poly-semantic Study on Scientific Terms Based on termonline: A Case Study of Aeronautical and Nautical Interrelated Terms

Taking termonline as the main verification platform and the certified lexicons issued by the CNCTST as reference corpus, we selected and analyzed a number of interdisciplinary terms from aeronautical and nautical related fields in terms of semantic framework and interpretation space. Our results show that: (1) there are a large number of synonymous, polysemous terms in various forms in the field of aeronautical and nautical studies; (2) the semantic representation of such terms depends on a particular simultaneous relationship and is subject to the specification of the corresponding conceptual elements. On the one hand, within the specific semantic framework, the semantic representations of these terms conform to the principle of mono-semy or unambiguity; on the other hand, under interdisciplinary circumstances, these terms take on apparent interdisciplinary features, and their semantic representations could be invested with polysemous interpretation space.
