后现代哲学视野中的构式语法研究

Constructional Approaches to Grammar: From the Perspective of Postmodern Philosophy

本文在简述后现代哲学"体验人本观"和"多元多面"方法论的基础上探讨构式语法的后现代特征。构式语法从消解中心主义、拒斥天赋观和生成观、批驳普遍概括假说出发,提出了一系列具有浓厚后现代特征的基本观点,如体验心智观和概括创新观、表层概括假说、语言用法观等。构式语法与后现代哲学基本思想的契合表明,语言学研究与哲学研究永远是盘根错节地缠绕在一起的。也许正是这种理不清的缠绕关系为双方提供了滋养,使它们不停地在新问题、新发现中前进不止。

Based upon a brief introduction to ＂Embodied Humenism＂ and ＂Pluralism＂ of Postmodern Philosophy, this paper explored the post-modernistic features of Construction Grammar. In eliminating centralism, rejecting nativism and generativism, and refut- ing Universal Grammar Hypothesis, Construction Grammar produces a series of basic tenets featuring Post-Modernism, such as embodied mentalism and generalizative creativity, surface generalization hypothesis, usage-based view of language. The fit be- tween the basic tenets of Post-Modernism and those of Construction Grammar indicates that philosophical and linguistic investiga- tions are forever convoluted with each other. It is perhaps this very convolution that nourishes both of them, pushing them forward in new problems and discoveries.
