摘要:: “女汉子”一词的形成是语义、语法、语用综合作用的结果。语义上，“汉子”在近现代常见语例中常指性格坚毅、豪爽、大气的男性，语义凸显的是性格特征，性格特征义素强化和性别特征义素弱化为“女汉子”的产生提供了基础。语法上，偏正式合成词“女X”的存在为“女汉子”的产生提供了可能，而“X汉子”结构直接为“女汉子”提供了可以类推的格式参照，“女汉子”正是在词形类推的机制下组合而成的偏正格式。语用上，因其词形上直接的性别冲突，具有新异的修辞效果，内容上概括了爽直独立的一类女性，故广受关注，使用频率颇高。

Abstract:: The formation of the word “Nü Hanzi” is the result of the semantic, grammatical and pragmatic functions. Semantically, in the common cases of modern Chinese language, “Hanzi” often refers to the characters of perseverance, generosity and manhood. The strengthening of the character meme of “Hanzi” and the weakening of its gender meme provide the basis for “Nü Hanzi”. Grammatically, the compound word formation “Nü X” makes “Nü Hanzi” possible, and “X Hanzi” structure gives an analogy “Nü Hanzi”. Pragmatically, “Nü” and “Hanzi” form a direct gender conflict, and thus their compound word “Nü Hanzi” produces a novel rhetoric effect. In addition, “Nü Hanzi” refers to a particular type of women who are outgoing and independent. Because of all this, “Nü Hanzi” receives wide attention and is used with high frequency.
