认知与社会:网络新词意义建构的双重驱动

Cognition and Sociality: Two Motivators of New Net-words Meaning Construction

认知社会语言学主张把认知、社会和语言三者作为一个有机整体进行综合考察。以这一基本理念为依据,将Fauconnier的概念整合理论补充为基于背景的概念整合理论,并在该理论框架下以"颜值"和"空巢青年"为例探讨汉语网络新词的意义建构过程。研究发现:网络新词的意义建构是存在于既定的社会文化背景中的认知加工,在网络新词的概念整合过程中,社会文化背景信息对元素的跨空间映射以及选择性投射具有制约作用,社会文化背景信息和概念整合机制的双重驱动实现了网络新词意义的创造和建构。

Cognitive Sociolinguistics advocates that cognitive factors, social factors and language be considered as an organic whole. Based on this basic idea and Fauconnier’s Conceptual Blending Theory, this article proposed Background-based Conceptual Blending Theory and explored the meaning construction of two net-words, Yanzhi and Kongchao qingnian. The anlysis showed that meaning construction of new net-words was a cognitve process under certain social and cultural background, during which cross-space mapping and selective projection was influenced by socal and cultural background information. The combination of social cultural background and conceptual blending mechanism contributed to meaning creation and construction of new net-words.
