内容简介
2012年以傅振国为代表的一批学者状告《现代汉语词典》第6版违法收录239个字母词。此次事件不但折射出许多学者以来对英语入侵汉语的担忧，同时也反映了一些学者对词典编纂缺乏专业且深入的认识。字母词在中国是否真的已经发展到如众学者所担忧的造成汉语岌岌可危的地步？《现汉》收录字母词果真不可取吗？规范型汉语语文词典和英汉、汉英双语语文词典该如何正确地收录和定义字母词？《现代汉语词典》将在认知社会语言学框架下，通过探寻字母词及其汉字同义词的生存状态来尝试回答上述问题。
字母词的产展属于词汇变异和发展的研究范畴。任何词汇变异和发展都遵循语言变异和发展体规律，字母词也不例外。字母词的产生源自语言经济原则（economy）和语言表现力（expressivity）双重因素的作用，其形成机制虽依循语言变异，但有其具体表现。字母词产生之后，将在变异和发展的阶段，即变体选择阶段，与其形式称名变体汉字同义词一步生存而产生竞争。要对字母词及其汉字同义词的产生以及在变体选择阶段的生存状况有充分的认识，必须考察字母词及其汉字同义词的词汇结构、词汇产生机制、字母词和汉字同义词的竞争结果以及影响竞争的因素。为此，《字母词的称名学研究及其对词典编纂的启示》引入了认知社会语言学框架下的称名学（onomasiology）研究模式。该模式的认知社会语言学背景使其具备了传统称名学在词汇变异研究方面所不具备的，为词汇变异中的称名变异（onomasiological variation）研究提供了定和定量两种分析视角。
