摘要

諸語言、文化間存在著相當程度的共性，然而由於人們世界觀、生活經驗及語言、文化本身的原因，各自更進一步發展出獨特個性。語言中的詞彙如何將物件劃定歸屬，按類稱名，是許多可直觀、且透過對比深化認識的現象之一。本文各以六十張“上衣”及“鍋具”彩色圖片為實驗材料製成問卷，對中/西兩組受試者進行測驗，藉此觀察兩種語言系統其「物以類聚」的內在法則及命名策略，並運用統計方法檢視所得數據。

All languages and cultures share to a certain extent some universal values; however, because of different world view, different living experiences and the language and culture per se, the individuality is produced. The different naming patterns in Chinese and Spanish are one of the phenomena that can be observed from outside and worth studying. This paper, uses two objects in daily life-pots and upper clothes-as the test materials. Naming these two series of objects can allow us to explore more precisely the internal influence of language or culture factors on the formation of linguistic categories in two languages.
