Abstract
本研究探討台灣華語爆一詞的多義性，採用爆在各種語境下的使用進行綜合分析。Huang (2008) 曾探討爆的歷時語義變化，亦討論爆在現代華語中的用法。雖然Huang提及隱喻變化是爆語意變化的一種機制，但並未深入探討隱喻如何影響爆的語義延伸。此外，Huang也未涵蓋所有新興的爆的義項，尤其是近十年來爆出現的新用法。為了彌補先前研究的不足之處，本研究探討台灣華語爆的多種義項，並詳細分析隱喻 (metaphor) 和意象圖式 (image schema) 在解釋爆的語意延伸時的角色。 本研究從台灣流行社群媒體平台蒐集語料，並採用Johnson (1987) 的意象圖式，特別是容器圖式 (The Containment Schema) 和力量圖式 (The Force Schema) 以及相關隱喻，有效地解釋了台灣華語中爆的多種義項。此外，本研究也發現爆的新興含義或創新用法，例如「破壞情節」、「迅速而廣泛」、「不受任何限制或約束地從事活動」，以及「破壞」。 本研究以爆在社群媒體平台的實際用法為基礎，並運用隱喻和意象圖式對爆的義項進行全面的分析，期望透過本研究能更深入地了解台灣華語爆的多種義項和用法。
This study investigates the polysemous senses of bao in Taiwanese Mandarin by conducting a comprehensive analysis of its various usages. Huang (2008) examined the diachronic semantic change of bao, followed by a discussion of the usages of bao in Modern Mandarin. Huang mentioned that metaphorical change was a mechanism for the meaning change of bao, but he did not delve deeper to explore the role that metaphorical change plays in the semantic extension of bao. In addition, Huang did not include all the novel meanings of bao, especially the novel meanings of bao over the past decade. To make up for the inadequacies of previous research, this study conducts a more thorough investigation of the polysemous senses of bao in Taiwanese Mandarin and discusses how metaphor and image schema are involved in the meaning extension of bao.This study uses authentic data collected from popular online forums in Taiwan and employs Johnson’s (1987) image schemata, particularly the Containment schema and the Force schema, along with their related metaphors, to effectively explain the polysemous senses of bao in Taiwanese Mandarin. Moreover, this study finds several novel meanings or usages of bao that haven’t been discussed before, such as the meaning of “to spoil the plot”, “rapidly and extensively”, “engaging in activities without any limitations or restraints”, and “broken”.By conducting an in-depth investigation involving authentic data, it is anticipated that this study will provide a better understanding of the various polysemous senses and usages of bao in Taiwanese Mandarin.
