<< review queue entry 65325 - submitted by 'monigeria' >> Inspired by the other sub I just submitted, 人从众yu: Baidu Baike: 火炎焱燚是一个词语，拼音是 huǒ yán yàn yì ，用于形容火势越来越猛。 该词语主要是强调一个“火”字，从第一个字到第四个字包含的“火”字越来越多，也就是表示火势越来越猛。 ----------------------------------- Editor: <QUOTE> 福州又火炎焱燚了！又是全国第一！ (“Fuzhou is getting HOT again! It’s No.1 in China, again!” 火 literally means “fire”, but here metaphorically means “hot” or “exciting”.) (6) 神药板蓝根怎么变得这么火炎焱燚。 (“How can the magic medicine Banlangen become so POPULAR?!”) In most cases, the use of an SCS does not change the original grammatical structure in cases where only the base word is used. Like in (6), 火炎焱燚 as a whole is used as an adjective and acts as predicate in the sentence, as is the base word 火 when used without the superposed words of 炎焱燚. Also, 火炎焱燚 in the sentence can be read aloud by prolonging the sound of 火 (/huǒ/). That is to say, disregarding the internal abnormal structure of 火炎焱燚, this SCS fits into the sentence properly and observes standard grammar. Since the first SCS was created in 2012, four years have passed. [...] A search for 又双叒叕 in Baidu’s search engine (on Oct. 10, 2016) brings about 781,000 results for 火炎焱燚. <UNQUOTE> "The Intermediate Status of Superposed Chinese Sequences (SCS): An Ecolinguistic Perspective" Jun Wang, Soochow University, China |
