英语礼貌表达式的认知研究

A Cognitive Study of English Polite Expressions

本文在梳理英语礼貌表达式句法表征结构的基础上,采用溯因推理的方法,使用距离象似性原则、顺序象似性原则、标记象似性原则、自我中心原则、空间隐喻认知模式和范畴成员非典型化原则等认知机制,对英语礼貌表达式的语义理据进行解释,为英语礼貌语言现象的研究提供一个新的视角。

Based on the former study about the syntactic features of English polite expressions,this paper aims to explore the motivations and the relevant semantic meanings for the syntactic structures of the language from the cognitive aspects of proximity principle,sequential order principle,marked principle,egocentric principle,space metaphor and theory of non-prototypicality by employing the method of abduction,offering a new angle for studying English polite expressions.
