摘要
借助认知语言学的理论和方法,从认知语用学的角度对名词转动词这种现象作出解释。从认知基础来看,名词转动词实际上是用事物概念来转指关系概念,是一种"概念转喻"。在概念转喻的认知模型中,由于名词转动词必须有事物和动作两个要素,所以它们一般与事件认知框有关。在同一个认知框中,显著度对参照点的选择和目标的确定都起着重要的作用,但是显著度受语境与主观因素的影响。名词转动词的语境依赖性较高,使用它往往能达到言简意赅、生动形象的效果。
Noun-to-verb shift is a very common phenomenon in modern English and it is one of the most productive word formation processes in this language. The study of noun-to-verb shift has until recently been focused on the restrictions on this process and the formal changes involved. This paper intends to provide a cognitive pragmatic account of this phenomenon with the help of some current concepts and theories within cognitive linguistics.
