摘要认知语言学一直把语法及词汇系统对认知表征的构建当作研究目标。Talmy认为,语言系统后于认知系统(包括视觉、动觉控制及推理系统)而进化,因此,在很大程度上复制和利用了这些已有的机制,从而语法具有一定的内在性和普遍性(2000:37)。本文所比较的英汉两种语言的语法系统就展示了很多概念化方面的共性,同时我们发现,汉语某种程度上更多地运用词汇手段,而英语则更多、更持续稳定地依赖语法资源进行概念构建。找出人类语法系统中的这些共性和个性对于语言和认知研究都非常重要。本文还尝试比较了Chomsky最简方案中的普遍语法思想和Talmy的语法认知普遍性,对二者理论上的互补性进行了初步探讨。 Language system evolved after other major cognitive systems, including those of visual perception, motor control, and reasoning, by copying or connecting to their mechanisms of cognitive structuring. Hence the certain innateness and universality of grammar （Talmy, 2000：37）. The investigation on the universality and idiosyncracy of grammars is important in that it may reveal the cognitive mechanisms working behind. This research finds that, aside from the great commonality, Chinese utilizes more lexical means while English depends more on and sticks faster to grammatical resources in conceptulizations. In addition, the possible cross-fertilization between Talmy＇s studies and Chomsky＇s MP is also discussed.
