框架语义学发展综观:从格语法到框架网络

A Review on the Development of Frame Semantics:From Case Grammar to Frame Networks

格语法、框架语义学和框架网络工程是Fillmore语言学理论发展的重要三个阶段。发展过程中,"格"的概念逐渐推进演变为具有认知导向的"框架","框架网络"在前两者的基础上又更细致地描述了"框架"的具体情状。因而三者存在着密切的继承与递进关系。文章对这些理论的产生背景、核心内涵和存在的部分问题进行了梳理以及评述,并着重分析了其理论在不同发展阶段的特点、相互间的内在联系与缺陷,以期在帮助读者批评地吸纳这些理论的同时,促进该领域相关研究进一步的发展和完善。

Fillmore’s linguistic theories are featured prominently by the three-stage development of case grammar,frame semantics and Frame Networks. Throughout this process,the idea of " case" has gradually advanced to the concept of " frame" which embraces cognitive orientation. " Frame Networks" then achieves a more detailed description of " frame" based on the former two periods of exertion. It follows therefore there exists a progressive development among the three theories. For purpose of aiding learners in better understanding these theories and improving future research in this field,this paper sorts out and reviews the motivation,connotation and protruding issues of these three theories,and scrutinizes the diverse characteristics and relationships in between.
