原型范畴化理论框架下的幼儿英语词汇教学研究

The Research of Child English Vocabulary Teaching under the Framework of Prototype Category Theory

原型范畴化理论认为,范畴指事物在个体认知中的归类,它是建立在纵横交错的相似性网络和属性的基础之上。原型是人们对世界进行范畴化的认知参照点,它是物体范畴中最好、最典型的成员。在幼儿英语词汇教学中,根据幼儿的认知特点,界定基本范畴词汇的范围。利用基本范畴词汇的特点,扩大幼儿的词汇量,对基本范畴词进行归类教学,并且重视隐喻的作用,不断提高幼儿英语词汇教学的效率和效果。

According to Prototype Category Theory, category refers to things classification in the individual cognitive, and it is based on the foundation of the similarity and crisscross network. Prototype, the cognitive reference-point of all things, is the central member of a category, while other members are extended around it. In vocabulary teaching, I define the basic category of the vocabula- ry range according to children＇s cognitive characteristics. Teachers can make use of the characteristics of basic category of the vocabula- ry to expand the children＇s vocabulary; pay attention to categorize teaching and the function of metaphor, in order to improve the effi- ciency and effect of child vocabulary teaching constantly.
