چکیده

رده‌شناسی زبان­شناختی، به صورت هم‏زمان در پیِ بررسی شباهت‏ها و تمایزهای زبانی است. رده‌شناسی واژگانی نیز بر بررسی تنوع واژگانی تأکید دارد. بر این اساس، مقاله حاضر می­کوشد تا نشان دهد که هر یک از زبان­های فارسی، انگلیسی، فرانسه و آلمانی، واژه ­های موجود در قالبِ ادراکی-دیداری را چگونه مقوله ­بندی کرده­اند و چه شباهت­ها و تفاوت­هایی بین واژه­ های معادل در هر یک از این زبان­ها وجود دارد. در این راستا، برای یافتن مفاهیم ادراکی-دیداری از فرهنگ­های یک­زبانه و برای مقایسة واژه­های معادل از فرهنگ­های دوزبانه و پیکره استفاده شده‌است. در مقالة حاضر، این نتیجه به دست آمد که معنا‌شناسی قالبی، رویکردی مناسب برای تبیینِ‌ تمایزها و شباهت ­های بینا­زبانی است، زیرا هم‌زمان، هم تمایزها و هم شباهت‌های زبانی را در نظر می­گیرد. یافته­های پژوهش، نشان می­دهند که واژة «دیدن» و معادل­های آن در زبان­های فرانسه، آلمانی و انگلیسی، بی­نشان­ترین واژه‏ها هستند و از این رو گهگاه با اندکی تفاوتِ معنایی برای بیان مفاهیم دیگر نیز به کار گرفته می­شوند. در هر زبان، هر چه واژه­ها نشان­دارتر می‏شوند، بر میزان تنوع واژه‏های معادل و واژه‏های مترادف افزوده می‎شود. به این ترتیب، برای مشخصه­ های نشان­دارتر مانند «نگاه احمقانه» یا «نگاه مخفیانه» در مقایسه با دیدن غیرارادی، تنوع بسیار بیشتریدر پیوند با واژگان یافت می­شود.

چکیده [English]

Linguistic typology tries to investigate the linguistic universals and linguistic variation simultaneously. Lexical typology is significant since it shows how lexical varieties are shaped. Accordingly, the present paper aims at showing how Persian, English, French and German languages categorize words within the perception-visual subframe and uncover what similarities and differences exist between equivalent words in each of the mentioned languages. In order to find perception-visual lexical units, monolingual dictionaries are used, while for comparing words cross-linguistically, bilingual dictionaries and corpora are used. It is concluded that frame semantics is a suitable approach for explaining cross-linguistic variation and similarity since it simultaneously considers differences and similarities. Results indicate that “see” and its equivalents in German and French as well as Persian are the most unmarked words because it is almost used to express verities of visual concepts. The more marked the words are, the more variant the words are for a special feature. For the feature “looking stupidly” or “viewing secretly” as more marked domains compared to passive seeing, lexical variation is more considerable.
 
1. Introduction
Linguistic typology tries to consider linguistic similarities and differences simultaneously. Lexical typology tries to compare lexical variety within languages (Croft, 2003). Although linguistic typology compares a large number of languages from different language families, the present paper used its critical tools for comparing languages from the same language family, i.e. Persian, English, French and German. This paper aims at uncovering how similar and different these languages are regarding the verbs related to the visual sense. For this purpose, frame semantics is used since it focuses on both language similarities (via frames) and linguistic differences (via Lexical Units). Based on frame semantics and lexical typology, the following questions are posed:
(i)                 For each of these languages, how are near synonymous lexemes classified?
(ii)              Within the perception frame, are languages’ tendency towards the universals or differences?
(iii)            What is the most unmarked word within the Perception Frame? How is linguistic variety connected to markedness?
 
2. Frame Semantics
Frame semantics is a cognitive approach that searches for speakers’ background knowledge and experiences to define lexemes. In fact, this theory shows that linguistic elements invoke a frame (schema) in speakers’ mind based on their experiences and background knowledge. Within frame semantics, each word is defined within a particular frame. For instance, the radius is not comprehensible without referring back to the concept, circle (Fillmore, 1977a, b, c; 1986a, b; 1969; 2007; Fillmore & Atkins, 1992; 1994).
            Fillmore borrowed the concept frame from Minsky (1975). He (Fillmore, 1986a) mentions that frame semantics controls word and phrasal rules. Therefore, senses depend on frames (Fillmore, 1977c) and frames are the abstract perception, memory, experience and action (Fillmore, 1977a). This paper focuses on the perception frame that is borrowed from the English FrameNet.
 
3. Methodology
For comparing purposes, firstly, the perception, perception-passive and perception-active frames are defined. Secondly, different words within the perception frame are extracted from the following monolingual dictionaries:
-          Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary (Hornby et al., 2000)
-          Oxford Duden German Dictionary (Duden et al. 1980)
-          Grand Dictionaire universal du XIXe siècle (Larousse, 1867)
-          Sokhan Comprehensive Dictionary (Anvari, 2002)
Thirdly, for a more accurate comparison, some simple words are selected from the English language. Then, their equivalents are searched within both the following bilingual dictionaries and thesaurus:
Bilingual dictionaries:
-          Millenium English Persian Dictionary (Haghshenas et al., 2005)
-          The Concise Oxford-Duden German Dictionary (Clark & Thyen, 1998)
-          The Oxford-Hachette French Dictionary (Corréard et al., 2001).
Thesaurus:
-          Oxford Concise Thesaurus (Haweker & Waite, 2007)
-          The Cambridge French-English Thesaurus (Lamy, 1998)
-          Swann’s way (Webster’s German Thesaurus Edition) (Proust, 2006)
-          Persian Thesaurus (Fararuy, 2008)
Fourthly, examples of different words are extracted from corpora to indicate what a word carries but is not mentioned in dictionaries. For this aim, the following corpora are used:
-          British National Corpus (2007)
-          Huge German Corpus (HGC) (Schmid, 1994)
-          Français Lexique (2001)
-          Bijan Khan Corpus (2011)
Lastly, the words are compared for markedness to obtain a typological position of the mentioned languages, i.e. Persian, French and German. Note that the English language is omitted from our typological views since it is considered as constant.
 
4. Conclusion
This paper concluded that, firstly, frame semantics is appropriate for cross-linguistic comparisons since it considers both similarities and differences. Secondly, via frame semantics, it is possible to redefine typological concepts such as markedness and economy which are simpler than the available definitions. Languages are not only internally and cross-linguistically different, but they are sometimes extra-linguistically different. Fourthly, languages have not defined language concepts based on other languages, but some concepts are culturally various from others. Lastly, from grammatical point of view, Persian tends to make more complex verbs than French and German.
