Semantic prosody is also called semantic coordination and semantic infiltration.
Although semantic rhyme is a subtle and almost implicit semantic component that seems to be beyond the sense of language, it actually exists in the use of language, can create an atmosphere in sentences, is of great significance to expressing the attitude and tendency of speakers or writers, and is an important semantic participation component in verbal communication. At the same time, semantic rhyme is a phenomenon of word collocation, which means that some words often appear with linguistic units with certain semantic characteristics and produce a semantic color. This color may be positive, pleasant or negative, but most of them are neutral.
Therefore, lexical collocation often forms three types of semantic prosody in a text: positive prosody, negative prosody and neutral prosody. In positive prosody, almost all words quoted by node words have strong or distinct positive semantic features. In the negative semantic rhyme, almost all collocations of node words have negative semantic features. In neutral semantic rhyme, the semantic features of collocation have both positive and negative meanings.
