摘要
心理学研究表明:情感是人类就情感触发情景的识解结果,诉诸符号,伴随有体征。现存情感类别丰富,本文选取六类基本情感作为研究对象,通过英语中"情感形容词+介词"构式来研究情感的体验语义特征与认知动因,并借助英语国家语料库找出该构式的分布频率,在定量统计基础上,以介词的空间语义分析为理论基础,发现情感诱因通常隐喻化为实体,而伴随性、内在性、控制性、被动性、沉浸性和临机性语义特征可以用来区别基本情感;基本情感的认知动因来自人类的体认过程,其中空间关系的隐喻化是情感的概念化机制。
The research from psychology shows that emotions are the construal endings of triggering situation by human beings,which must be revealed in symbols,usually with physiological expressions.There are many types of emotions.We choose six basic types of them,for which we take the construction of"Emotion Adjective+Preposition"in English as the target in order to find out the embodied meaning and cognitive motivation of emotions.Through searching in the British National Corpus,we find out the general distribution frequency of the prepositions following all the adjectives.Based on the quantitative statistics,with the theoretical guidance from the spatial meaning of prepositions in cognitive linguistics,we notice that all experiencers metaphorize the emotion causers as entities,and the features of accompany,internality,control,passiveness,immersion and contingency can differentiate those basic emotions.The cognitive motivation comes from the embodied-cognitive experiences of human beings,and the metaphorization of spatial meaning is the conceptualization mechanism.
