具身认知理论下的二语习得

Second language acquisition under embodied cognitive theory

具身认知理论认为人的认知过程根植于感觉运动系统,身体体验在认知中发挥着重要的作用。一系列的一语研究表明,感觉运动系统对于语言理解也起着重要的作用。二语的习得是在一语概念系统的基础上形成的一种新的概念系统,感觉运动系统在二语习得的过程中具有何种作用,程度如何?本文总结了近年来关于二语加工中的具身效应、一语和二语具身效应之间联系的实证研究,归纳了影响二语具身效应加工的主要因素。最后指出未来的研究应该着眼于探究在不同影响因素下二语具身效应的具体表现,进而探究二语加工中感觉运动系统和符号加工系统所占权重以及感觉运动系统在二语加工中的充分性和必要性。

The theory of embodied cognition holds that the human cognitive process is based on the sensorimotor system.The body plays an important role in cognition,and the sensorimotor system also plays an important role in language understanding.Second language acquisition forms a new conceptual system based on the concepts from the first language.How and to what extent does the body play a role in the process of second language acquisition?In recent years,research has mainly focused on the embodied effects on second language acquisition,and the relationship between the embodied effects on second language and first language acquisition,and its influencing factors.Future research should focus on the specific effects of different influencing factors when looking at the embodied effects on second language acquisition,adopt and improve different experimental paradigms,and then explore the importance of the sensorimotor system in second language processing and symbol,and explore the adequacy,necessity,and fundamentals of the sensorimotor system with regards to language processing.
