Abstract

“Tongzhi” as a social appellation is a typical Chinese usage, whose collocates patterns in different contexts reflect the alteration of its semantic prosody as a meaning unit. This paper describes the actual phenomenal use of “Tongzhi” under different pragmatic backgrounds and analyzed the semantic preference on a corpus basis.
