认知视阈下的一词多义现象探幽

A Study on Polysemy from the Perspective of Cognitive Linguistics

一词多义现象在语言中颇为普遍,历来是学界关注的热点话题。基于对一词多义现象的细致观察以及既有研究的洞见,认知语言学可以从本质上阐释一词多义现象产生的内在机制和外在表现形式。具体而言,从宏观层面,原型范畴理论可以为一词多义现象提供整体框架,而从微观层面,概念隐喻和转喻则可以为一词多义现象提供认知机制和深层动因。通过对一词多义现象的认知研究,旨在深入探究一词多义所具有的普遍性、延展性以及经济性特征,并试图为词汇学研究的推进和发展贡献绵薄之力。

Polysemy is a common phenomenon in language,which has always been a hot topic in academic circles.Based on the careful observation of polysemy and the insights of existing studies,cognitive linguistics can explain the internal mechanism and external manifestations of polysemy in essence.Specifically,prototype category theory provides the overall framework for polysemy from the macro level,while conceptual metaphor and metonymy provide cognitive mechanism and deep motivation for polysemy from the micro level.Through the cognitive study of polysemy,this paper aims to explore the universality,extensibility and economy of polysemy,and try to contribute to the promotion and development of lexicology.
