词汇及构式意义的体验观

Embodied Understanding on Words and Constructions

Goldberg的构式语法理论提出了一直未被人们重视的构式意义认知现实性的问题,使我们对英语语句的理解机制有了新认识。正如Langacker,Leek,Iwata及本文所指出的,构式语法与认知语法等主流认知语言学之间还存在一定的分歧,而且在重视构式意义的同时忽略了对构式中词语认知意义的系统研究。在借鉴了上述学者的构式语法模式,摒弃了其中的不足,并且结合了体验式理解理论的基础上建立起了一个仿真构式语法(SCG)语句理解模式。通过对汉语构式实例的分析我们有理由相信,该SCG模式更好地反映了构式义与词语义之间的关系及真实的语句理解机制。

Goldberg＇s argument structure construction grammar （CxG） puts onstage the ignored fact that the semantics of lexically unfilled constructions has cognitively real status. This insight helps us know more of the mechanism of sentence understanding. As pointed out by Langacker, Leek, Iwata and the present author, however,there is still a divergence between CxG and main stream cognitive linguistics, such as Langacker＇s cognitive grammar,also there is a lack of emphasis on the cognitive reality of language understanding in the current CxG, especially on the contribution of words to sentence meaning. Drawing on the construction models of Goldberg,Langacker, Iwata and taking in the current embodied understanding theories, a simulation construction grammar （SCG） model is established in this paper. With this new model, the comprehension mechanism of a pair of delicate Chinese sentences is interpreted.
