现代汉语反义词具有系统性,通常成对出现,如“软”和“硬”、“软化”和“硬化”。实际上,反义词也存在不平衡的现象。本文以现代汉语中的一组反义词“软”和“硬”为着眼点,并试图词汇的角度来探究反义词的不对称性,找到反义词不对称的原因。 Antonyms in modern Chinese are systematic and often appear in pairs, such as “soft ” and “hard ”, “soften ”, and “hardened ”. In fact, there is an imbalance of antonyms. In this paper, we take a group of antonyms “soft ” and “hard ” in modern Chinese as the focus, and try to explore the asymmetry of antonyms from the perspective of vocabulary and find out the reasons for the asymmetry of antonyms.
