概念合成理论视角下《庄子》寓言的意义建构研究

A Study on the Meaning Construction of Fables in Zhuangzi from the Perspective of Conceptual Blending Theory

概念合成理论是认知语言学中的重要理论,对于自然语言在线意义建构过程和意义生成机制具有很强的解释力。从认知角度,运用概念合成理论,对《庄子》中的部分经典寓言的在线意义建构过程进行研究,发现概念合成理论对于《庄子》部分寓言的在线意义建构过程具有很强的解释力和适用性。同时,对《庄子》部分寓言进行认知角度的研究,能够清晰地展示《庄子》部分寓言在线意义建构过程背后的深层认知操作机制,丰富《庄子》的相关研究。

Fables in Zhuangzi vary a lot in the forms and their meaning is quite difficult to understand. Making an analysis on on-line meaning construction of fables in Zhuangzi can help us understand them better. The conceptual blending theory is an important theory in cognitive linguistics,which has a strong explanatory power for on-line meaning construction and generative mechanism of mean-ing. From the cognitive perspective, this paper makes a study on the process of meaning construction of some classic fables in Zhuangzi on the basis of conceptual blending theory, and finds that the conceptual blending theory has a strong explanatory power and applicabili-ty for the on-line meaning construction of some fables in Zhuangzi. Simultaneously, by making a study on some fables in Zhuangzi from the cognitive perspective, it can demonstrate the deep cognitive operation mechanism behind the on-line meaning construction of them, and thus enrich the relative studies of Zhuangzi,which could help us to know the process of on-line meaning construction of fa-bles in Zhuangzi clearly and enriched the relative studies of Zhuangzi.
