基于语料库的英汉因果复句认知对比研究

The Cognitive Contrast Between English and Chinese Complex Cause-Effect Sentences——A Corpus-Based Study

本文基于自建语料库在认知语法的入场理论(grounding theory)视域下对英汉因果复句入场模式进行认知对比研究。通过揭示英汉因果复句入场模式的异同得知,汉语因果复句入场元素的语法化、主观化程度均高于英语。英汉民族概念化主体体验和感知世界的异同是导致因果复句表达形式和语义异同的主要原因。本研究结果对英汉对比教学有一定的启示意义。

This contrastive research is focused on the Grounding Mode of English and Chinese causal-effect complex sentences from the perspective of Cognitive Grammar.By revealing the differences and similarities,we found that the degree of grammaticalization and subjectification of the grounding elements is much higher in Chinese than in English.The main reason is that the conceptualizer has different experiences and perceptions.This research has some implications for English teaching.
