认知语境的哲学阐释对实证研究的启示

Philosophical Consideration of Cognitive Context

以认知语言学理论为基础的认知语境说开启了语言意义的语用性阐释。语境研究已由静态、片面和单一形式发展为动态、多维和多学科结合模式。认知主体的作用得到充分重视,也加剧了对语境因素认定的泛化。本文提出认知语境以概念为表征,其本质属性是可以用语言表述的基于内在化知识的心理建构。实证研究应充分考虑其主观相对性和客观自然性。

Based on theories in Cognitive Linguistics,the term ＂cognitive context＂ starts the pragmatic explanation of language meaning,which shifts a static,partial and unitary way of context analysis into a dynamic,multi-dimensioned and discipline-integrated way.Though the functions of cognitive agents are much emphasized,the scope of context factors is much expanded.This article raises the point that cognitive context means a psychological configuration of knowledge that can be expressed with words and represented with concepts.A scientific empirical research should take into consideration both its subjective relativity and its objective naturalism.
