第二次启蒙和体认哲学视野下的体认语言学

Embodied-Cognitive Linguistics in the Perspective of the Second Enlightenment and EmbodiedCognitive Philosophy

西哲第四转向的后现代哲学主要经历了三个时期:人本性和批判性、解构性和破坏性、建设性和体认性。王治河等人将第三时期称为"第二次启蒙"。我们认为,后现代思潮不仅出现在文学、文化、哲学这三界,也出现在语言学界。系统功能语言学和认知语言学虽脱离了现代性机械语言理论的束缚,具有若干有机语言学的特征,但未能有意识地从哲学发展史角度来建构理论,探索语言与哲学之间的有机联系。基于第二次启蒙和体认哲学的体认语言学则弥补了这一缺陷,融入了马列主义辩证唯物论、人本观以及建设性后现代哲学的若干最新观点,彻底摆脱了机械语言学之窠臼,当属有机语言学,为语言研究和教学研究提供了一个新方向。

Postmodernist philosophy,has undergone three major periods:humanism and criticism,deconstruction,and constructionism and embodied-cognitivity.Dr.Wang Zhihe regards the third period as the second Enlightenment,which offers a new way for the research of philosophical history.To our mind,postmodernism has appeared not only in literature,culture and philosophy,but also in linguistics.Systemic Functional and Cognitive Linguistics has broken away from the bondage of modernist mechanical theory,and has many features of organic linguistics,but lacks the conscious perspective of philosophical theory for the probe of the organic relationship between linguistics and philosophy.In contrast,Embodied-Cognitive Linguistics(ECL for short),based on the second Enlightenment and Embodied-Cognitive Philosophy,has probed this organic relationship.Integrated with Marx-Leninist Dialectical Materialism and humanism,and many new ideas from Constructive Postmodernist Philosophy,ECL thus completely rids itself of mechanical linguistics.ECL obviously belongs to organic linguistics,which will provide a new direction for linguistic research and teaching all over the world.
