The cycle of interpretation is a taboo of dictionaries interpretation. It will causethat the entry lacks semantic information. Moreover, it cannot reflect the differentmeaning of interpreted words.Therefore, it Leads to the failure of interpretation,affects the quality of dictionary definition. Dictionary definition should reject thecycle of interpretation, which is an indisputable fact, but as China’s most authoritativemedium normative modern Chinese dictionaries,"Modern Chinese Dictionary "(Sixth Edition)(hereinafter referred to as the "modern Chinese") can still be foundtraces of them in the cycle of interpretation.The interpretation form and feature aredifferent from the circular reference of the exegesis, but the interpretation of theirrational factors still exist.Therefore, we need a comprehensive study of "circular definition exists inmodern Chinese", especially the study of comprehensive and exhaustive of the typicalcycle interpretation. Combined with the way of Dictionaries interpretation and metalanguage vocabulary principle, we can analyze cycle interpretation problems andshortcomings. Timely use the CCL modern Chinese Corpus retrieval system fromChinese linguistics research center of Peking University and the occurrence numberof the explaining words appeared in "modern Chinese" definition language, judgewhether there is a circular definition to release easily phenomenon. Through theanalysis of problems to find reasonable measures.This thesis is divided into four parts.The first part is the introduction: elaborate the research object of this thesis andits significance. Through the collection and analysis of previous cycle ofinterpretation research to determine the status of circular definitions and shortcomings,so as to determine the research ideas and methods of this paper.The second part is the material extraction standard: after determine the researchobject of circular definition, we need to establish a "modern Chinese"circulardefinition electronic corpus, in preparation for the research needs. This part gives aclear division of the instance in the collection process appearing wrong, in order to delineate the research object better.The third part is the classification of material description: Based on thecomprehensive study of modern Chinese "" circular definition, narrowed the scope ofthe study, determine the research object of this thesis is the typical cycle ofinterpretation, that is the interpretation of unreasonable cycle phenomenon. Throughthe classification statistics and describe its interpretation problems to prepare for thecycle of interpretation research. At the same time classification describes theoperation causes and motivation of the atypical cycle definition.The fourth part is the specific analysis of the cycle of interpretation: this part isthe focus of this paper. It puts forward the feasible solution to the problems of circulardefinition. First is the analysis about the law of typical cycle interpretation. It showsthe characteristics of the corresponding reasons; Secondly, through the third partdescription, we know the relationship between the typical cycle interpretation and thetwo aspects--The way of interpretation and the using of meta languagevocabulary--are close. Taking the synonyms on the release of the interpretation ismost easily to lead to irrational cycle interpretation. It will cause the irregular using ofinterpreting meta language in dictionaries. Starting from the relationship betweenmeaning and vocabulary and the cycle of interpretation, analyze the reason ofdeficiency of cycle of interpretation, at the same time, to find a breakthrough to solvethe circulation problem; Third, according to the specific problems and proposedimprovement measures. Namely, adjust the cycle interpretation in the framework ofmeta language vocabulary principles. It uses the difference of non controlledvocabulary, frequency of occurrence, and so on. In order to more accurately andeffectively adjust the deficiency of existing circular definition.
