A Semantic Analysis on “prototype” and Semantic Structure of a Japanese verb ”deceive” and Synonyms for the word “deceive”, and Categorization of These Synonyms by Applying Topological Theory

首先，從認知意義論來檢視「騙す」這個單字，並且抽取出其概念之「prototype（原意）」，藉此來設定「騙す」之中心意義領域。第二步則是找出和「騙す」有類義關係的26個動詞，由這26個動詞來組成「類義語群」。然後更進一步找出和類義語群的意義有關係之複合動詞、關聯語、慣用語、方言等37個語句來組成「關聯語句群」。然後第三，再從剛才取出的26個類義語群中，選出「騙す」的主要類義語，也就是「欺く」「たぶらかす」「ごまかす」「まどわす」「計る」「陥れる」「たらす」等七個單字，然後分析比較「騙す」所表現的原意和以上六個單字的原意。由比較分析的結果可得知「騙す」所表示之意義領域，和它主要的類義語群所表示之意義領域，兩者的共通處以及非共通之處。 第四點，不只是依照不同的意義系統將和「騙す」有關聯總計54個類義語群以及關聯語句群進行範疇分類，也從位相論的角度，依據意義系統上的不同分編範疇領域，除此之外也設定文章用語、口語、日常會話用語、用在不同的場合的男性、女性、中性等用的性向語、以及方言等範疇來進行分類。然後再以位相論的觀點來考察每個單字的嚴謹程度之高低。然後那些和「騙す」有關的各個類義語以及關聯語、關聯語句，在意義上又有什麼樣的相互關係也將會是我檢視的重點。This paper intends to analyze lexical components and semantic structure of a Japanese verb “damasu (deceive)” and synonyms for the word “damasu(deceive),” and to categorize these synonyms by applying the topological theory.
