摘　　要：拟声词在英汉语中既是重要的构词方法,也是常用的修辞手段,但在不同的语境下仍存在差异。从语言结构上看,汉语比英语中的双音节和多音节拟声词更多,而且构建起了集声、韵、调于一体的音韵系统;从修辞功能上看,两者都可渲染气氛,增强韵味及节奏;此外,汉语拟声词还具有双关和增强形象感的作用。Onomatopoeia is not only the way of word-formation,but also a kind of rhetorical device. Different expressive methods arise from different historical and cultural backgrounds, speech habits as well as aesthetic values. Aiming at revealing the differences and similarities between English and Chinese onomatopoeias, it probes into some onomatopoeias from the perspective of the contrast between phonetic structure and rhetorical function. Conclusions can be drawn that the field of Chinese onomatopoeias is much broader and more colorful on account of its extra component patterns and rhetorical functions of homophonic pun as well as metaphorically referring to abstract things.
