外语多媒体优化设计的认知语言学视角

On Application of Cognitive Linguistic Theories to Making of Foreign Language Multimedia

本文试图将认知语言学理论引入外语多媒体的设计当中:1.基本范畴成员或典型成员的"意象"具有"突显性",它们是最容易被感知、学习与记忆的对象,因此它们应成为外语多媒体情景背景表征形式的最佳选择;2.多媒体是文本与背景的整合体。图形背景理论认为,文本与情景背景要被明确地分离开来,关系模糊会导致感知障碍;3.音像的作用在于能够激活外语多媒体学习者的认知图式,从而使他们能更好地理解学习内容。本文研究认为,认知语言学理论对外语多媒体课件的优化设计具有很好的指导作用。

This paper attempts to introduce cognitive linguistic theories into making of foreign language multimedia （FLM）： 1.The images of the basic categories and the prototypes are of salience. They are easier to be perceived, learnt or memorized. So they should be the most appropriate choices for the representations of FLM making; 2. FLM is the integration of text and settings. Figure-ground theory holds that text should be separated from the settings. The vagueness of the two may result in perceptional difficulty; 3. Sound-graph functions to activate the cognitive schema of the learners under FLM so that learners can learn better about the content. This paper claims that cognitive linguistic theories have an explanatory force to the design of FLM.
