THE PRESERVATION OF ARCHAIC WORDS IN THE MODERN LANGUAGE

This thesis analyzes how archaic words persist in modern language through lexical-semantic and pragmatic perspectives. The study aims to identify the functional domains of archaisms, their stylistic value, and their linkage to cultural memory. Methods include corpus-based observation, contextual analysis, and discourse comparison. Scientific novelty lies in proposing a refuctionalization model in which archaisms remain active by acquiring new communicative roles rather than merely being preserved as relics.本论文从词汇语义学与语用学视角，探析古词汇在现代语言中的存续机制。本研究旨在厘清古词汇的功能域、文体价值及其与文化记忆的关联纽带。研究方法涵盖基于语料库的观察法、语境分析法以及语篇比较法。本研究的科学创新之处在于提出了重新功能化（refuctionalization）模型，该模型认为古词汇并非仅作为遗迹留存，而是通过获取新的交际角色以保持其活性。
