原型范畴理论对语义层面上的标记性的解释力

The Explanatory Power of Prototype Theory towards Markedness on Semantic Level

标记是语言学分析性原则之一,标记性体现了语言范畴内部存在的对立的不对称关系,这一概念被广泛应用于音位学、语义学、语法分析、句子结构、语用学和应用语言学中。因此,标记性对语言分析的各个层面上都有价值。本文主要探讨语义层面上的标记现象并试用认知语言学中的原型范畴理论对其作出解释,最后将讨论标记程度不同的语言形式对第二语言习得的影响。

Markedness is an analytical principle of linguistics, it reflects the asymmetrical relation in language categories and can be widely applied in phonetics, semantics, grammatical analysis, sentence structures, pragmatics and applied linguistics. Therefore, markedness is valuable for various levels of linguistic analysis. This article mainly discusses markedness on semantic level and attempts to use prototype category theory to explain it. Finally, the author discusses the influence of markedness on second language acquisition.
