基于意象图式理论请求类言语行为的认知机制解读

An Interpretation of the Cognitive Mechanism of Requests Speech Act from the Perspective of Image Schema Theory

学界以往以单纯的跨文化交际视角来研究请求类言语行为,存在一定局限性。运用意象图式理论和言语行为转喻理论来解读请求类言语行为,可以很好地解释言语行为蕴含的认知机制。结合《绝望的主妇》和《日出》两部作品中具体实例,阐释不同人物性格及其社会关系对于不同类型请求策略的选择的影响,发现造成英汉请求类言语行为差异有语言、社会和文化等因素。

In the past,a purely cross-cultural communication perspective was used by the academic circles to study request speech acts,which had certain limitations.The image schema theory and speech act metonymy theory can be used to interpret request speech acts and explain the cognitive mechanism hidden behind them.The influence of different characters and their social relationships on the choice of different types of request strategies were analyzed,combining with specific examples from the two works of"Desperate Housewives"and"Sunrise".It is found that there are linguistic,social and cultural factors that cause the differences in request speech acts between English and Chinese.
