认知语言学的理论取向与实质——认知语言学学理反思之二

The Orientation and Nature of CL——Rethinking Cognitive Linguistics (2)

认知语言学(CL)颠覆客观主义哲学以及以此为基础的语言学理论而提出了相反的假说。本文认为CL的研究取向值得肯定,但由于它在认识论和方法论上掏空了先验,瓦解了本质,对语言的解释是不充分的。本文对CL的立论基础和相关命题进行质疑和证伪,试图表明:语义与句法属于不同的模块,两者不是决定关系,进而认为基于体验论的种种假设也需要接受演绎逻辑的验证。

Having overthrown objectivism and linguistic theories based upon it, cognitive linguistics （CL） advanced detrimental hypot-heses. While appreciating its theoretical orientation, this paper holds that its explanation of language is not adequate as it has expelled apriority and sapped essence from its epistemology and methodology. This paper questions and falsifies the theoretical basis and relevant theses of CL, trying to show that semantics and syntax are modular, one not determining the other, and holds that the experientialist hypotheses should also stand the test of deductive logic.
