认知神经语言学方法论模型的建构

A Methodological Model for Cognitive Neurolinguistics

本文拟构造认知神经语言学方法论模型。基于对西方现代语言科学史的梳理指出,语言学理论的发展随心智研究的深入而演进。其次,综述了对心智的认知研究从哲学到认知心理学,再到认知神经科学的发展脉络,提出今后应以心脑关系一元论为哲学假定,认知神经科学为科学基础建构语言学理论。最后,提出了建构认知神经语言学方法论模型的步骤:将"构造假说"和"验证假说"两大环节分为上下互动的五个层次——哲学层、语言现象层到行为层、心理层和神经层。自上而下,证据的效度逐渐递增。由此形成系统融贯的方法论模型,以及对理论解释力进行评价的体系和证据效度的评估体系。

The paper is an attempt to construct a methodological model for cognitive neurolinguistics, a newly emerging highlight in linguistics. It is argued in the first place that linguistics in the modem scientific terms has advanced along with the inquiry into the mind approaching from philosophical, cognitive scientific and cognitive neuroscientific perspec- tives. Secondly, within the framework of cognitive neurolinguistics, theories should be created with monism as the phil- osophical assumption and based on cognitive neuroscience. Finally, the model is conceived with five interactive and integrative strata, namely, the epistemological, linguistic symbolic, behavioral, psychological and neural levels, among which the first two generally aim at creating hypotheses and the latter three at testifying the hypotheses. Such a model is presumably conducive to the evaluation of the explanatory power of various theories and assessment of the validity of evidence.
