认知语言学研究不能“单打一”

Cognitive linguistics should not concentrate only on the inside

本文基于具身认知的"4E+S"模型,将认知看作是心智、身体、环境和文化相互作用的系统事件,主张认知语言学研究应当坚持认知和身体的结合、认知和环境的结合以及认知与文化的结合。语言实例的认知分析表明:语言的认知研究在充分关注大脑内部的心智活动的同时,应当积极考虑身体、环境和文化这些外部因素。认知语言学研究呼唤"内外结合"。"内外结合"定会将认知语言学研究引向深入。

The present paper,based on the embodied '4E + S'model,recognizes cognition as a systematic event consisting of the interactions of mind,body,environment and culture. It argues that the development of cognitive linguistics should combine cognition with body,with environment and with culture. The study,on the basis of the cognitive analysis of linguistic expressions,indicates that the cognitive approach to the study of language should not only concentrate on the mental representation inside the head,but take sufficient consideration of the factors outside the head,such as body,environment and culture. The concentration on both inside and outside factors will surely broaden and deepen the study of cognitive linguistics.
