摘　　要：通过历史文献分析和地名语料库统计,发现“洋”作为地名通名在闽方言区具有普遍性,最早用于田地名,后扩展到其他类型的地名;剖析“洋”的语义演变史,它最初指代某一条河流,衍生出“水势盛大、水面宽广”或“宽广”的形容词性意义,又在语言经济原则和缩略语取首原则的指导下,“洋田”缩略为“洋”,获得“田地”义,一块田地,可以作为一处地点的地标,地标可用来给地点命名,“洋”成为地名词。Through the analysis of historical documents and the statistical study of toponymic corpora,it has been found that the use of"Yang"as a common place name in the Min dialect area is widespread,originally used for field names,and later expanded to other types of place names.The paper analyzes the semantic evolution of the term"Yang",which initially referred to a specific river and subsequently developed into an adjective that conveys the meanings of having a grand water flow and a vast water surface or vast.Then,guided by the principles of linguistic economy and first word of abbreviation,"Yangtian"was abbreviated to"Yang",making"Yang"a noun representing field-related meanings.A piece of farmland can serve as a landmark for a place,and landmarks can be used to name locations."Yang"becomes a term for the name of places.
