Abstract

Understanding collocations is essential to interpret meanings. This study aims to analyze the similarities and differences between the collocations of the English words heart and mind. About 99 data were taken from Corpus of Contemporary American English. The collocations were categorized based on the grammatical patterns. Then, the lexical meaning of each collocation was analyzed based on the context. The collocation patterns of the words heart and mind are almost similar. Seven categories of the collocations of the word heart include heart + noun (23.24%), heart + verb (20.20%), preposition + heart (16.16%), heart of + noun (15.15%), verb + heart (12.12%), other phrases (8.08%) and adjective + heart (5.05%). Meanwhile, seven categories of the collocation of the word mind include other phrases (33.33%), preposition + mind (30.30%), verb + mind (11.11%), noun + of mind (10.10%), adjective + mind (8.08%), mind + verb (6.06%) and mind + noun (1.01%). Collocations in the form of phrases tend to have idiomatic meanings. However, there is no clear relationship between the collocation patterns and meanings of both words.

英语单词“心”与“脑”的搭配:异同

理解搭配对于解释意思至关重要。本研究旨在分析英语单词heart和mind搭配的异同。约99个数据取自《当代美国英语语料库》。根据语法模式对搭配进行了分类。然后，结合语境分析各搭配的词汇意义。heart和mind这两个词的搭配模式几乎是相似的。“心”一词的搭配有7类:“心”+名词(23.24%)、“心”+动词(20.20%)、介词+“心”(16.16%)、“心”+名词(15.15%)、动词+“心”(12.12%)、其他短语(8.08%)、形容词+“心”(5.05%)。与此同时，mind一词的搭配有其他短语(33.33%)、介词+ mind(30.30%)、动词+ mind(11.11%)、名词+ of mind(10.10%)、形容词+ mind(8.08%)、mind +动词(6.06%)和mind +名词(1.01%)等7类。短语形式的搭配往往具有习语意义。然而，这两个词的搭配模式和意义之间并没有明确的关系。
