摘要
索绪尔在研究语言任意性的同时观察到语言的交际功能决定了语言一定具有相对理据性,即认知作用于语言;学界普遍认可的弱版萨丕尔-沃尔夫假说认为语言可能影响我们的记忆、感知和思维,即语言影响认知。基于以上两个基本观点,当代的语言符号认知视角研究尝试回答:语言在多大程度上或有多少部分具有理据性?并且借助认知的"交换机"功能研究语言和其他人文因素的互动关系。语言符号的认知观阐述了构式的符号属性,引入语法隐喻和语法转喻这两大认知动因来解决句法和语义之间的冲突问题。本文对语言和认知互动活动提出了一些假设,有待基于语料的理论论证。
Along with arbitrariness, Saussure observed the communicative function of language suggests that language is relatively motivated, viz, cognition impacts language; universally accepted weak Sapir-Whorf hypothesis implies that language indeed may have an effect on our memory, perception, and thought, viz, language influences cognition. Based upon the above two guiding worldviews, contemporary studies of linguistic sign from cognitive perspective try to answer this question ＂To what degree and/ or how much is language actually motivated conceptually？＂. Besides, via the ＂switchboard＂ function of cognition, the interaction between language and other human systems is studied. The cognitive view of linguistic sign clarifies the semiotic nature of construction, and introduces the two cognitive bases of grammatical metaphor and grammatical metonymy to solve the conflict between syntax and semantics. Finally in the paper, the interaction between language and cognition is postulated, which needs future corpus- based theoretical justification.
