体认性突显原则与语言研究和教学——体认教学理论与实践刍议

The Principle of Embodied-Cognitive Salience and Language Research and Teaching:A Resurvey on Embodied-Cognitive Teaching Theory and Practice

认知语言学的兴起距今已有近半个世纪的历史。近年来国内外学者已发现它的诸多缺点,并对其提出了修补意见。川外体认团队在此时间节点上适时地提出了本土化的体认语言学,用“体”强调认知的来源。人类从生活经验中获得了聚焦性观察和思维的能力,形成了具有体认性的突显原则。该原则可以十分方便地解释语言中的诸多现象,如语言中词类活用、三种语态、主语择用、动词编码等的成因,而且还可将其与动态范畴论和语用研究等结合起来,这既为语言研究指明了一个新方向,也为教学实践提供了一个新思路。

Cognitive Linguistics has a history of nearly half a century,in recent years,both domestic and foreign scholars have found some shortcomings in it,thus have put forward some suggestions to fix it.The embodied-cognitive team from Sichuan International Studies University proposes a localized Embodied-Cognitive Linguistics,using embodiment to emphasize the source of cognition.The ability of human beings to observe and think in a focused way from their daily experience leads to the principle of embodied-cognitive salience which can easily explain many phenomena in language,such as the choice of word meaning,the causes of the three voices,the choice of subject,and verb coding,and which can also be combined with dynamic categorization theory and pragmatic research to provide both a new direction for language research and a new way for language teaching.
