人体词语研究概况及问题分析

Research Developments and Problem Analyses on the Study of Body Terms

"人是万物之灵",人类的身体被作为一种基质用于认识世界和体验世界。具身认知是20世纪70年代以来第二代认知科学针对第一代认知科学"将人脑电脑化"的不足而提出的"心——身——世界交互作用"的主张,它使认知研究掀起一场具身认知运动的革命。相应地,自上世纪70年代以来,人体词语的研究取得了丰硕成果,但亦存在一些问题。本文对人体词语的研究作全面综述,回顾研究成果,指出存在的问题,以利于今后对其研究的拓展和深入。

＂Man is a measure of all things.＂ Human＇s body has been applied to help us to know and experience the world. The embodied cognition, i.e. a ＂Mind-body-world Interaction ＂ proposal, proposed by the new cognitive science in 1970＇s, has brought about an embodied cognition movement revolution in cognitive studies. Accordingly, since 1970＇s, many achievements have been made on the study of body terms. Nevertheless, there are still some drawbacks. The paper gives us a comprehensive overview about the study of body terms. It reviews the research outputs and points out the problems as well, with the aim of helping broaden and deepen the study.
