概念整合理论对中介语分析的解释力

Applicability of Conceptual Blending Theory to Interlanguage Study

相对于单纯的对比分析、错误分析和中介语分析,概念整合理论在中介语研究方面更具明显的优越性,我们可以利用这一理论把母语、目标语和中介语三个系统有机结合起来进行研究。本文从句法层面,对中介语的认知产生过程及其四种整合类型进行了实证分析,阐述了中介语的产生是学习者在母语系统和目标语系统共同影响下,通过心理认知过程的主动性组合、完善和扩展,在层创结构中整合加工形成的结果。

Conceptual Blending Theory has more obvious advantages for the study of Interlanguage compared with Contrastive analysis, Error analysis or Interlanguage theory in their separate areas. We can make a study by integrating mother tongue, target language and interlanguage together on basis of the theory. From the cognitive processes of interlanguage and the four blended types, this paper makes an analysis, by some illustrations, of the syntactic level, and concludes that the interlanguage is the result of conceptual blending through the mental cognitive processes such as Composition, Completion, and Elaboration under the joint influence of the mother tongue system and the target language system of foreign language learners.
