Abstract
通過梳理國內外語言學對詞義與概念關係之認識可以發現, 前人對該論題的認識存在一定的誤區。詞義不等同於概念，但詞至少在一個義位上是和概念重合的。概念不是全人類共有的，一些概念是某些民族特有的。從這個角度分析，簡單地界定文化詞為“反映文化的詞”失之偏頗。文化詞實質為共時詞義層面的概念空缺現象。明確文化詞的判定標準對漢語言本體與漢語第二語言教學研究均具有重要意義。本文以普通話文化詞為主要語料論證上述問題。
It seems that there is some misunderstanding about the relationship between word meaning and concept in the literature. This paper argues that word meaning should not be equated with concept, but words meaning coincides with concept in at least one glosseme. Concepts are not universally shared by all humans. Some concepts are peculiar to people of certain nationalities or cultures. Therefore, defining cultural words as “culture-reflecting words” is not appropriate if not correct at all. Cultural words are essential concept vacancies at synchronic semantic level. It is of great theoretical importance and practical value to scientifically define cultural words in Chinese Linguistics as well as in Teaching Chinese as a Second Language. This paper discusses the above issues by taking Mandarin cultural words as the main corpus.
