空间位移动词的整合概念框架研究——以enter类动词为例

An integrated conceptual frame model approach to spatial motion verbs: The enter-class verbs in English

本文以框架语义学的观点为理论指导,以王寅(2001)的"AT-ON-IN"隐喻微系统和Lakoff(1987)的路径意象图式为基本内容,构建空间位移动词的整合概念框架模型,并据此模型分析英语enter类动态动词的语义框架,以期细化动词的语义框架研究。研究结果表明,英语空间位移动词的概念框架是基于动态图式框架"SOURCEMOVE-(M)-(P)-(D)-GOAL"和方位隐喻框架"AT-ON-IN"构建的,包括4个核心框架元素和3个非核心框架元素。在enter类动词的概念框架中,各个框架元素对应在语言表达中的位置是灵活的,元素之间会出现融合的情况。同时,enter类动词既有"点动词"又有"线动词","AT"层面的"点动词"既可以表示SOURCE,也可以表示GOAL,"ON"和"IN"层面通常是移动路径和方向多样化的"线动词"。

Based on Frame Semantics, this paper constructs the Integrated Conceptual Frame Model out of metaphorical 'AT-ON-IN' system and image schema theory, and studies the conceptual semantic frame of enter-class spatial motion verbs so as to investigate the cognitive conceptual structure of English motion verbs especially for the underlying cognitive mechanisms. It turns out that the conceptual frame of motion verbs is constructed on one hand horizontally based on the dynamic image schema of 'SOURCE-MOVE-( M)-( P)-( D)-GOAL' and on the other hand tridimensionally on the location frame of 'AT-ON-IN', which complementarily and simultaneously establish the conceptual frame model of spatial motion verbs. The semantic frame of enterclass spatial motion verbs has four primary frame elements and three secondary frame elements. The sequence of frame elements in language expressions is flexible, and sometimes there exists the phenomenon of elements-fusion.
