“境界”与“概念化”——王国维的诗歌理论与认知语言学中的“概念化”理论

“Jingjie”and“Conceptualization”—Wang Guowei's Poetry Translation Theory and Conceptualization Theory in Cognitive Linguistics

王国维在《人间词话》中提出了著名的"境界说",认为,"词以境界为最上"。境界有"造境"、"写境"、"有人之境"、"无人之境"等类别。从王国维对境界的解释看,它与近年来认知语言学中讨论的"概念化"有很大的相通之处。概念化指的是人们对事物的观察和表达的方式,几乎包括了人的各种大脑活动。"概念化"理论可以更好地理解和解释王国维的"境界"的内涵和实质,同时,文学作品的创作过程和原理也给认知语言学的研究对象和研究目标提供了更为现实和广阔的天地。

＂jingjie＂ is an important concept that Wang Guowei put forward in his Talks about CI as the most important criter- ion to evaluate the quality of a ci （standardized poems）. He classifies ＂jingjie＂ into several different categories, e.g. crea- ted, depicted, human participating and non-human participating, etc. These concepts, to a large extent, correspond to the ＂conceptualization＂ in cognitive linguistics, which refers to the process of construing a situation, encompassing almost all brain activities. The theory of conceptualization can be used to better understand and specify the nature and features offin^ie. At the same time, the concept offingjie and related literary theories can provide rich resources for cognitive linguistic studies, in terms of the objects and objectives of linguistic pursuits.
