及物性的几个核心问题及其认知阐释

Several Key Issues in Transitivity and Their Cognitive Interpretation

历经传统语法、转换生成语法、系统功能语法等视角的研究,学界对及物性有了许多重要认识,但及物性的定义、判断标准及其与语言使用的关系等核心问题依然没有得到很好的解决。以认知语法理论为视角对及物性做出新的界定,提出及物性的认知语义判断参数,并讨论语言使用特别是认知识解对于及物性的影响,不仅可以对上述核心问题做出新的阐释,而且能够拓展及物性研究的广度和深度,有利于更清楚地认识及物性。

Researches of transitivity from the perspectives of traditional grammar,Transformational-Generative grammar and Systemic-functional grammar have provided us with some important understandings of this important language phenomenon.However,some key issues such as its definition,standards for judgement and the role of language use remain obscure and need to be further discussed.Cognitive grammar is used as a new perceptive to give a different definition,a set of cognitive semantic elements for its judgement and an analysis of the role of language use(especially construal)in its semantic formation.The new interpretation of transitivity from the perspective of Cognitive Grammar may deepen and extend our understanding of transitivity with some inspiring discoveries in the three key aspects.
