摘要
根据认知语言学的语义整合观,一些词语的意义并不完全取决于合成原则,而是由其组成成分激活各个相关认知域进行概念整合而产生的。本文以"white collar"和"白领"为例进行分析,发现整合观之所以有此推断,最主要是忽略了语言的级阶性。实际上组成这些词的成分历时变化已由原来的词降级成了词素,原来的词义也变成了构成新词的理据,原来的词与现在的词素是异质同构。
According to the Integration View of Cognitive Semantics,the meanings of some words do not strictly conform to Compositionality Principle,but arise from integrating relevant cognitive domains triggered by their constituents.The reason why the cognitive linguists came to this conclusion lies in the fact that they ignored the ranks of language.When "bai" and "ling"("white" and "collar") combine together to form a new word "bailing"("white collar"),they both become morphemes as a result of rank degrading.And the morphemes have been changed into the motivation in the formation of the new word and lost their original meanings.
