语言·心智·范畴——W h-从句的认知语法分析

Language,Mind and Category——A Functional-stratificational Analysis of Wh-clauses

文章通过英语w h-从句的功能性层次分析方法的建立,试图探讨折衷主义作为一种哲学思潮,以及跨学科研究作为一种研讨模式,对于新时期语言科学发展的影响。有理由认为,作为一种归类体系的符号表达,语法研究有必要向认知语言学和其他相关学科看齐,这样才能逼近客观事实,正确阐述语言、心智,以及范畴之间的密切关系,促进语言学的跨学科研究。文章共由六个部分组成。首先,介绍了研究要点;接下来的三个部分分别讨论了类典型理论、语言学理论,以及大脑与语言关系;第五部分专门介绍了功能性层次分析模式,及其在分析wh-句式中的具体应用。与此同时,也引入了一些来自语汉语比较;第六部分进一步强调了语言学跨学科研究的意义,由此结束了全文的讨论。

The present paper concerns itself with an innovative analysis of wh-clauses in English.More specifically,a functional-stratificational approach is adopted to deal with two major types of the structures in question plus a cross-cultural comparison.The underlying theory suggested by the current study is that grammar in its strict sense represents a generalized way of classification.If this argument is feasible,linguisitic enterprise should have more eclecticism by looking to cognitive and other relevant scien...
