地域刻板印象的极简主义认知阐释

On Minimalist Cognition of Regional Stereotype

利用认知语言学的主观识解理论分析地域刻板印象的语言结构形式,发现地域刻板印象的认知体现了极简主义思维特征。地域刻板印象实质是基于心智成本的识解模型,反映了心智成本的极简策略。其遵从的化繁从简、整体布局、主题凸显、自我参照原则体现了思维的简洁美。认知的极简主义研究对语言认知和语言哲学研究都具有启示意义。

Based on the subjective construal theory in cognitive linguistics, this paper makes an analysis of linguistic structure on regional stereotype. The result reveals that stereotype cognition embodies a minimalist thinking pattern. The author holds that regional stereotype is a mental cost construal model which reflects minimalist strategy of mental cost. Its aesthetic thinking of reduction, unity, highlighting and self-perspective signifies the beauty of conciseness. Research of minimalist cognition is of great value to relevant studies both in linguistic cognition and language philosophy.
