摘要：

扩展意义单位是语料库语言学重要的理论和分析术语。但实践中，节点被预设为固定不变，而且未对语法词进行语义分析，这限制了扩展意义单位研究视野，有必要对其再审视。利用COCA语料库，围绕某个节点，依次进行词语、语法、语义等扩展描写；然后采用互搭配分析，变换节点和搭配词观察角度，对扩展意义单位进行再扩展分析；最后描写局部语法型式，探讨研究应用。结果显示，意义单位的多层面共选是整体连动的，节点在共选要素影响下存在变异形式，同一位置上的词语分析同时呈现多种关系。研究结果对短语词典编纂和意义单位自动处理有应用价值。

关键词: 扩展意义单位, 节点, 搭配词, 互搭配, 局部语法

Abstract:

Extended units of meaning is an important theoretical and analytical term in Corpus Linguistics.However, in description, nodes have been assumed to be fixed and unchanging, and no semantic analysis of grammatical words has been carried out, which limits the research scope of extended units of meaning and needs to be re-examined.Using the Corpus of Contemporary American English, this paper extends the description of lexical, grammatical, semantic aspects around a node; then the inter-collocational analysis is adopted to describe the extended units of meaning by changing the observation start of nodes and collocates respectively; finally, the local grammar patterns are described and the research application discussed.The results show that the multi-level co-selection of extended units of meaning is linked as a whole.There are variant forms of nodes under the influence of all co-selected elements.The analysis of the word in each position presents multiple relationships at the same time.The results of this study are of great value for phrase lexicography and automatic processing of extend units of meaning.

Key words: extended unit of meaning, node, collocate, inter-collocation, local grammars
