空间实体的可居点与后置方位词的选择

The Locations of Spatial Entities and Its Selection for Post-locatives

文章主要从体现空间关系的实体可居点出发,讨论后置方位词的选择问题。实体的可居点可以分为物理可居点和功能可居点两类。物理可居点影响着后置方位词的选择范围,而功能可居点决定了后置方位词的选择倾向。显著的功能可居点通常只有一个,但也可能有两个。文章强调三个问题:(1)容器底面与一般的平面不同;(2)认知语法研究的结论不能绝对化;(3)认知语法研究的结论需要材料的充分验证和数据的有力支撑。

This thesis discusses the selection for post-locatives in the perspective of the locations on entities which embody the spatial relationships. The locations on entities can be divided into two categories： physical locations and functional locations. Physical locations influence the selection range to post-locatives, while functional locatives determine the selection tendency to post-locations. An entity always has only one remarkable functional location, but sometimes it has two. This thesis emphasizes three issues： （1） the bottom surface of a vessel is different with general plane; （2） the conclusions in the cognitive grammar research should not be extremity; （3） the conclusions in the cognitive grammar research need full verifications by materials and forceful support by data.
