Abstract

Common address terms as an important part of daily communication have been studied with qualitative methods. Inspired by previous methods, this paper proposes a novel method based on word embedding to study the dynamic evolution of common address terms in Chinese. In particular, we first obtained the relevant words of address terms by calculating the distance between word embeddings based on People’s Daily Corpus (1948–2017), then studied the laws of semantic changes of fictive kinship terms and non-kinship terms which belong to common address terms in Chinese through the related words. The results showed that there were significant differences between them.
