消解客观主义神话——莱考夫的认知思想解读

Understanding Lakoff's cognition thought

为了消解语言学中客观主义的认识路径,莱考夫通过对无处不在的隐喻现象的揭示,说明了经验对概念生成所起到的重要作用。然后基于对范畴和意象图式及其作用的研究,说明了概念结构的生成机制。莱考夫将自己的主张总结为体验哲学,从而开创了新的认知研究路径。

In order to deconstruct the objectivism cognition of language, Lakoff reveals metaphors existing everywhere, showing experience＇s important role in concept generation. Then he explains the generation mechanism of concept structure based on his research into category and image schema. He summarize his concept as embodied philosophy, thus pioneering new cognition.
