用图结构分析波斯诗歌中词汇意义的百年变迁

Between Century and Poet: Graph-Based Lexical Semantic Change in Persian Poetry

  • 以词汇邻域图为基础,追踪词义随时间与诗人变化的网络重构
  • 发现'夜'受时代影响大,'地'因诗人而异,'心'虽角色变动但意义延续
  • 适合研究文学语义演变或数字人文的学者,尤其关注文本历史脉络

波斯诗歌中的意义兼具历史性和关联性。词语在文学传统中延续,却随相邻词、修辞框架和诗学声音的变化而改变其语义强度。本研究结合对齐的Word2Vec空间与图结构邻域分析,跨越多个世纪和主要诗人,考察这一过程。不将语义变化视为向量位移,而是将其看作局部语义图的重连:邻居的增减、桥梁角色的转移、跨社区的移动。聚焦二十个目标词,以五个反复出现的参照词(大地、夜、两词酒、心)为锚点,周围包含爱、悲伤、苦行僧、国王、湮灭、真理等情感、宫廷、元素及苏菲概念。这些词表现出不同变化模式:夜更敏感于时间,地更依赖诗人,心虽角色流动但保持连续性;两酒词凸显探测敏感性——一者广泛且语义模糊,另一者狭窄且稳定。词汇审计确认语料含历史性词汇、诗人特有用法及稀疏的神秘术语,需谨慎处理。总体而言,波斯诗歌中的语义变迁更宜被理解为邻域重连而非抽象漂移。对数字人文而言,此方法恢复计算分析中的局部结构,支持更贴近文学实践的解释:持续、迁移、中介与选择性转化。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Meaning in Persian poetry is both historical and relational. Words persist through literary tradition while shifting their force through changing constellations of neighbors, rhetorical frames, and poetic voices. This study examines that process using aligned Word2Vec spaces combined with graph-based neighborhood analysis across centuries and major poets. Rather than modeling semantic change as vector displacement alone, it treats lexical history as the rewiring of local semantic graphs: the gain and loss of neighbors, shifts in bridge roles, and movement across communities. The analysis centers on twenty target words, anchored by five recurrent reference terms: Earth, Night, two wine terms, and Heart. Surrounding them are affective, courtly, elemental, and Sufi concepts such as Love, Sorrow, Dervish, King, Annihilation, and Truth. These words exhibit distinct patterns of change. Night is more time-sensitive, Earth more poet-sensitive, and Heart shows continuity despite graph-role mobility. The two wine terms highlight probe sensitivity: one is broad and semantically diffuse, while the other is narrower and more stable. A lexical audit confirms that the corpus contains historically driven terms, poet-specific usages, and sparsely attested mystical vocabulary requiring caution. Overall, semantic change in Persian poetry is better captured as neighborhood rewiring than as abstract drift. For Digital Humanities, this approach restores local structure to computational analysis and supports interpretations closer to literary practice: persistence, migration, mediation, and selective transformation.
