体认语言学:语言学史的观照

Embodied-Cognitive Linguistics:A Refl ection on the History of Linguistics

体认语言学凸显“体验”和“认知”,是中国学者对认知语言学的改造。本文从对语言学史的追溯出发,通过文献梳理和史实澄清,观照体认语言学的特点和价值——从“某种语言学”观照体认语言学的理论性,从普遍语法学观照体认语言学的普遍性,从语言人本论观照体认语言学的人本性。其旨趣在于祛除简单套用西方理论的弊端,提倡勇于改造理论的精神,以更好地推动语言学的发展。

Embodied-Cognitive Linguistics emphasizes experience and cognition,and is the version of cognitive linguistics that has been transformed by Chinese scholars.The current paper traces the history of linguistics as a starting point,and investigates the characteristics and value of Embodied-Cognitive Linguistics by examining the literature and clarifying historical events.Specifically,it focuses on three aspects of Embodied-Cognitive Linguistics by first investigating its theoretical nature based on “a certain linguistics” and,second,by investigating its universality based on universal grammar.Third,the paper investigates its humanistic nature based on linguistic humanism.This paper aims to overcome the disadvantages resulting from the imitation of Western theories,to promote the spirit of theoretical transformation,and to facilitate the development of linguistics.
