ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to reveal the differences between the two Chinese words daozhi(導致)and yinqi(引起) from the perspective of semantic prosody, and to verify the existing findings on these words by analyzing and comparing corpus data. This paper proves that the words daozhi and yinqi have similar meanings in some way, as in ‘to lead something as a result’. However, the words have their own semantic characteristics; daozhi has predominantly negative semantic prosody and yinqi relatively has neutral semantic prosody. The results of the research will be expect to provide a reference for future related researches, and also for revising learner’s dictionary of Chinese.
