摘　　要： 对20,024个汉语人名的语音进行的统计和分析显示:在首音、尾韵母、所有韵母、声调、音节长度五个维度中,男女人名体现出性别化的生理、尺寸及标记象似,女性名标记性较强。英语男女人名的首音、重音模式、音节长度、尾音和核元音的差异同样凸显性别化语音象似,女性名标记性亦更加突出。研究结果表明:虽然使用的语音手段略有不同,但英汉人名共享多维的性别化语音象似特征;其成因包括生理特征和社会心理等因素。该研究结果为语音象似普遍性特征提供了数据支持,并为中英文取名提供语音方面的新启示。 A statistic analysis of 20,024 Chinese given names shows that male and female names demonstrate gendered physiology-, size- and markedness-related sound symbolism on the five dimensions of pho- netic information： initial sounds, ending Chinese vowels, all Chinese vowels, intonation, and numbers of syllabi, and also that the female names are significantly more marked. English given names exhibit the same gendered sound symbolism on the dimensions of initial sounds, stress patterns, numbers of syllabi, ending sounds, and nuclear vowels, and the female names are more marked too. The results are as follows： given names in both languages exhibit the same multi-dimensional sound symbolism despite different phonetic devices. The motivation behind this phenomenon includes factors of physiological characteristics and social psychology. This research provides new data to support the Universality characteristic of sound symbolism, and shows new insights into the naming in both Chinese and English.
