心理空间理论观照下的指示映射现象与移情指示词this和that

The analysis of deictic projection and empathetic deixis this and that in terms of mental space theory

借助于心理空间的相关理论,指示映射现象可以阐释为:言语交际中说话人不断构建心理空间,由于语用目的的不同和指示词的使用,说话人的位置可以转移到听话人所在的空间,于是指示中心就从说话人转移到听话人(或其他参加者)身上;通过使用移情指示词this和that,说话人似乎是在现实之中或之外建立了另外一个空间,并且往往把自己喜爱的人或物放在自己所处的空间(或距离自己近的地方),把不喜欢的人或物放在另外一个空间(或在心理上距离自己远的地方)。

By analyzing the phenomenon of deictic projection and empathetic deixis this and that, the following conclusions can be reached： deictic projection can be regarded as the phenomenon that the speaker continuously constructs mental spaces while speaking, so that the speaker~ position can be transferred into the mental space in which the addressee is, thus the deictic centre is projected to the addressee or other participants of the communication. As for the use of empathetic deixis this and that, the speaker seems to set up another space in or outside the reality, and tends to put his preference within his space （or close to him）, and the disliking into another space （or distal to him psychologically）.
