汉语名词非范畴化的认知工作机制研究

The Study of the Cognitive Working Mechanism of Decategorization of Mandarin Chinese

从微观和宏观两个角度探究了汉语名词非范畴化的工作机制。研究发现,名词非范畴化的过程主要包括初始阶段的语义变化和完成阶段的功能迁移,对应这两个阶段的工作机制分别为转喻和隐喻。初始阶段,转喻"视角化"促使语义内容丰富的名词类概念意义结合语境进行动态的语义成分突显和选择;完成阶段,突显出的语义成分表达陈述或描述意义使得名词在范畴上实现隐喻性跨越。

This paper studies the cognitive working mechanism of decategorization of Mandarin Chinese from the prospective of micro and macro level. The major findings are as follows: the process of decategorization of Mandarin Chinese mainly includes the meaning variation at the initial stage and the functional transfer at the final stage with metonymy and metaphor functioning at these two stages respectively. To be specific,at the initial stage,certain meaning components of the type notion meaning can be highlighted and chosen dynamically based on the context through metonymical constituent perspectivization;at the final stage,the highlighted meaning components expressing descriptive meaning enables the noun to have the metaphorically mapping in terms of its category.
