“流俗词源”的认知探析:概念整合理论视角——以“萝莉控”为例

Cognitive Analysis of“Folk-etymology”fromthe Perspective of Conceptual Blending Theory——Taking“Lolicon”as an Example

流俗词源是对词来源的“近似的解释尝试”,而这种尝试显然体现了人们对该现象的一种认知识解,其产生必然和人们的认知思维有千丝万缕的关系。由此,作者借助概念整合理论试图以“萝莉控”为例来对这种认知现象进行较为细致、合理的分析,揭示出其认知过程,从而为其他流俗词源的认知分析提供个案,并以此来丰富对该现象的认知研究。

Folk-etymology can be defined as a kind of nearly explanatory attempt for the origin of words(Saussure 1980:244)and it evi dently embodies people’s cognitive construal in this process.In this case,the appearance of folk-etymology is bound to relate to people’s cognition.Therefore,the paper attempts to winkle out the generative mechanism of Lolicon through proper analysis of“Lolicon”by conceptual blending theory and in this way to enrich the cognitive research of folk-etymology.
