基于语料库方法的认知语言学研究:文献计量学视角

The Corpus Approach to Cognitive Linguistic Studies:A Bibliometric Perspective

本文采用文献计量法,借助文献检索系统Note Express3.2梳理了近15年(2001—2015)Web of Science收录的认知语言学论文中语料库方法的应用情况。发现:1)语料库方法主要应用于隐喻、转喻、语言本体及语言习得领域。基于语料库的研究明显多于语料库驱动的研究。2)热点话题隐喻与转喻主要包括隐喻与语篇、视觉与情感隐喻、隐喻转喻翻译等。语料库主要用来提取隐喻转喻表达。3)语料库方法在提供频次信息、突出搭配及提供型式等方面贡献突出。不足在于某些研究目前无法或很难通过语料库方法进行,并且选取语料的主观性及所选语料的代表性和适切性影响研究结果。未来研究需重视构式搭配分析等方法的使用以及语料库方法与其他实证方法有机结合这一发展趋势。

Taking a bibliometric perspective,this paper examines how the corpus approach has been used in cognitive linguistic studies in the recent 15 years(2001—2015).Papers on Web of Science are retrieved and analysed by employing Search System Note Express 3.2.The following are the major findings:1)Thecorpus approach is mainly employed in the studies of metaphor,metonymy,language proper and language acquisition.Corpusbased studies outnumber corpus-driven studies.2)The hotspots metaphor and metonymy focus on topics including discourse and metaphor,visual and emotion metaphor,and metaphor/metonymy translation.In these studies,corporaare employed to extract metaphorical expressions.3)The prominent contribution of the corpus approach lies in providing frequency,collocation and patterns.However,it is difficult to apply the corpus approach to some studies.The representativeness and appropriateness of the data will affect the result.It is hoped that collostructional analysis and other methods receive more attention.Further,more attention is needed to integrate the corpus approach with other methods.
