摘　　要：《围城》中的七八个"堂房叔伯兄弟"一语存在结构语义歧义:一为A+N1N2结构,指堂房叔伯和堂房兄弟共七八个;二为A1A2+N结构,指堂房兄弟和叔伯兄弟共七八个,而堂房兄弟与叔伯兄弟是异名同指,实际指堂兄弟七八个。珍妮·凯利和茅国权采用了第一种结构语义。对《围城》的文本语境以及CCL的汉语语料考查发现,堂(房)兄弟和叔伯兄弟具有绝对的语用普遍性,而"堂叔伯"和"(同/嫡)堂伯叔"往往用作前置修饰语限定其它称谓,第二种结构语义更具合理性。The phrase ＂qi ba ge tangfang shubai xiongdi＂ in Fortress Besieged carries structural and se- mantic ambiguity： One is the structure being A ＋ NIN2, which means seven or eight uncles and cousins; another is the structure being A1 A2 ＋ N, which refers to seven or eight cousins. The English version translated by Jane Kelly and MAO Guo-quan adopts the first. The study of the verbal context and the analysis of Chinese corpora CCL show that tangfang xiongdi and shubai xiongdi an universal in use while ＂tang shubai＂ and ＂tongtang/ditang baishu＂ are often used as an integral pre-modifier to confine other address terms, so the second structure and its semantic meaning are more rational.
