______ explains the connection between the literal sense and figurative sense of the word.
A. Etymological motivation
B. Semantic motivation
C. Morphological motivation
D. Onomatopoeic motivation
题目解答
答案
B. Semantic motivation
解析
在语言学中,词义的形成和演变可以通过多种方式来解释。其中,语义动机(Semantic motivation)解释了词的字面意义和比喻意义之间的联系。语义动机是指词义的形成和演变是基于词的内在意义和使用环境,而不是词的形态或发音。因此,选项B是正确的。
