“囧”流行的认知语言学阐释

Cog-linguistic Analysis on the Popularization of "囧"

从理想认知模型(ICM)和象似性原则看,"囧"的流行说明语言形式和所指意义之间是存在象似性的。正是理想认知模型的改变,使范畴成员的地位发生了改变,从而使处于边缘地位的"囧"一跃而成为典型成员,即原型。同时,不论是"囧"的古义,还是其现代意义,都能很好地说明语言形式与语言意义之间的象似性关系。

If we study the character,＂囧＂,with Idealized Cognitive Models and the principle of Iconicity,we find that the popularization of ＂＂ shows the similarity between its language form and meaning.Since the Idealized Cognitive Models changed,the category members＇ positions also changed.As a result,the character,＂囧＂,which used to be neglected,has now become typical,i.e.its original form.In the meanwhile,either the ancient or the modern meaning of the character,can clearly show the similarity between language form and meaning.
