转喻模因的体验性认知基础

The Embodied Cognitive Basis of Metonymic Memes

转喻模因是携带模因宿主意图,借助语言结构,以重复或类推方式反复不断传播的信息表征。模因不是先验产物,而是以体验为基础,通过知觉和感官形成。不同个体由于生活经历、社会化过程、教育程度、性格、情感等诸多因素的不同,对相同模因可能存在不同体验,模因的体验性从本质上说就是人类心智的体验性。语言体验性认知研究是将体验性认知与认知语言学结合起来的一套崭新的认知语言学研究范式,本文以认知语言学中的体验哲学为基础,从语言模因的构成性、体验性、概念性、替代性等方面论述其认知体验特征,从而进行模因认知研究,为模因研究提供新视野。

Metonymic memes are information representation which carry and spread the speaker＇s intention continually by means of repeti- tive and analogical references through the language structures. Memes, based on the experiences, structure the forms in the ways of perceptions. Different people may have different experiences even on the same meme as a result of many factors, such as their living experiences, socialized process, educational background, personal character, emotion, etc. Therefore, basically, memes＇ embodi- ment is the embodiment of human mind. The embodied cognitive study of language is a new cognitive paradigm which combines the embodied cognition and cognitive linguistics together. This paper, on the basis of the embodied philosophy, explores the memes＇ embodied cognitive nature from the perspectives of language memes＇ organization, experiences, conceptualization and substitution. It aims to provide a new viewpoint for the study of memes.
