基于认知视角的“卷”之语义源流考释

The Verification of Semantic Source of the Word“Juan(卷)”Based on Cognized Perspective

基于古籍文献材料,对“卷”的常用义项予以考察。从认知语言学视角出发,对“卷”的语义演变脉络进行梳理。以隐喻、转喻理论为指导,从物理空间和心理空间构拟出“卷”的语义演变路径。研究显示,“卷”从上古汉语的“膝盖弯曲”义,到当代汉语的“内卷”义,代表了不同时期语义网络的原型成员。在这一过程中,同一词语的各个义项演变为一个语义网络系统,不同时期的词语因聚焦和凸显中心的差异而选择不同的义项作为其原型成员,并由此不断激发新的边缘义项,进而使得同一词语的所指概念日趋丰富。

As a new word frequently used in the Internet in recent years,the etymology of“juan(卷)”can be traced back to the basic meaning of“inbent”.After the common meaning of“juan(卷)”is sorted out based on ancient documents and materials,the semantic evolution path of“juan(卷)”can be constructed from physical and psychological space with the help of metaphor and metonymy theories in cognitive linguistics,and at the same time,the cognitive knowledge solution theory can be used to demonstrate it.According to the view of cognitive topology and family similarity,the meanings of the same word evolve into a semantic network system over time.Words in different periods choose different meanings as their prototype members due to the differences in focus and prominence centers,which constantly stimulate new marginal meanings,and further enrich the referring concepts of the same word.
