从构式角度看英语语句理解、改进及对二语习得的启示

Understanding of English Sentences from the Point of CG,Improvement,and Implications on Second Language Acquisition

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.构式是形式、意义和功能的统一体,论元结构在构式意义及英语语句理解中起了关键作用.当然,Goldberg构式语法也存在一些不足.在借鉴Iwata模式基础上,笔者认为若能将动词的动态性意义与构式意义相结合会更加符合认知规律、有助于语句理解.同时笔者也讨论了构式研究对二语习得的启示.

Goldberg＇s argument structure construction grammar （CG） 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 in sentence understanding. According to CG, grammatical description of all strata is understood to involve pairings of form, meaning and form. The argument structure plays the key role in acquiring the meaning of construction and sentences as well. Inevitably, CG grammar presents certain drawbacks. Mirroring from Iwata＇s model, the author argues that it will be beneficial to combine the dynamic meaning of a verb and construction meaning, which is more cognitively reasonable in understanding sentences. Also, the author poses the brief cues on SI.A drawn from the CG study.
