摘要
认知语法下的突显主要指在观察实体或场景时最能成为注意焦点的部分,根据这一认知框架,用不同的句式表达相同的基本概念内容的意义在于突显不同的射体。这种方法对书面语句式的变化有一定的解释力。然而,在口语体的语境下,这种解释方法就显得力不从心。因为,不管使用何种句式,说话者都可以用超音段的韵律特征(如句重音)突显句子的某个成分,而不需过多地考虑词序。因此,要使认知语法下的突显有更强的和更广泛意义的解释力,还必须考虑口语表达的特点对意象图式/认知模式的影响。
Prominence in cognitive grammar refers to the focus of attention of the scene under observation. This cognitive framework suggests that different syntactic structures expressing the same conceptual content "highlight" different trajectors. While this approach may have explanatory power applicable to the syntactic variants in written language, it is weak in addressing the functions of suprasegmental features in spoken language in terms of "highlighting" sentential elements. Therefore, the principle of prominence within the framework of cognitive grammar would be more inclusive when it pays equal attention to the suprasegrnental features in spoken language in defining image scbema/cognitive model.
