16、符号和符号所指对象之间不存在直接的指称关系，它是经过涵义（Sense）这一过渡层面使得语言与所指对象发生联系的，意义不仅仅在于与所指对象之间的关系，也包括词语本身的涵义。,Ideational Theory 观念论,Ogden & Richards(1923): Semantic Triangle (Triangle of Significance) P36 Concept(Sense) 概念（涵义） - word (symbol) thing (referent) 符号形式 指称对象,G .

23、s metaphor? What is metonymy? 8. What is salience?,What is Cognition？,Cognition：“认识”和“认知”英汉词典 “认识”指客观事体及其规律在人脑中的反映。感+理 辞海（1989,1999）：认知就是认识，指人类认识客观事物、获得知识的活动，包括知觉、记忆、学习、言语、思维和问题解决等过程。 现代汉语词典（第5版）：通过思维活动认识、了解。,认知最基本的两个要素：,动觉图式和基本范畴：通过人的身体与客观外界互动而产生的，可被直接理解，其他概念和范畴则主要是通过隐喻认知机制而被简洁认知的。,认知语言学的核心原则,语言也是一

24、种认知活动，是对客观世界进行互动体验和认知加工的结果。 现实 认知 语言,象似性,语言符号象似于人们的认知方式，且在其作用下一定程度地象似于现实世界，语符形式在音、形或结构上与其所表达的意义之间存在映照相似的现象。该描写不仅反映了象似性具有普遍性，存在于语言的不同层面，而且还为象似性理论提供了一条可应用的系统研究线索。音义象似 形义象似 距离象似性 数量象似性 顺序象似性,句法象似性,距离象似性 John Haiman （1983）象似动因与经济动因一文中对距离相似性（the iconicity of distance）描述为： The linguistic between expressio

25、ns corresponds to the conceptual distance between them.（词句中语符之间的距离象似于它们所表示的概念距离。）,give sb. sth. 与 give sth. to sb. 的距离象似性 give you a book give a book to you help sb. (to) do 结构与距离象似性 He helped me finish the meal. He helped me to finish the meal. This medicine will help you to sleep.,apple，tree apple

26、 tree apple trees 语，文 语文 语和文,顺序象似性 语言单位排列顺序象似于时间顺序和文化观念 Jacobson (1965) ： The order of clauses corresponds in general to the order of events, as in “I came, I saw, I conquered.”(一般来说，分句的顺序象似于事件的顺序，例如：“我来，我看，我征服”。),59,英语的语序与汉语的语序常常是不对应的，这是由于英语的语序与实际生活中的时间顺序常是不对应的。例： 他 从 成都 坐 火 车 经 遂宁 到 重庆。 He came to

27、 Chongqing from Chengdu through Suining by train. ,原型范畴 （范畴，即划分类别。男人/女人,好/一般/差）,意象图式 认知语言学的核心原则为“现实 认知语言”，这是一个十分笼统的概括，其中的“认知”包括很多细微过程，我们可将其详述为： 现 实 互动体验 意象图式 范畴 概念 意义 语 言 从上图可见，意象图式是在互动体验的基础上形成的，它又是 形成范畴、概念和意义的基础。因此意象图式在认知语言学中 具有举足轻重的地位。,语言的突显观,语言的突显观认为，语言结构中信息的选择与安排是由信息的突出程度决定的。 如：The car crashed i

28、nto the tree. The tree was hit by the car.,台上坐着主席团。 主席团坐在台上。 笑声充满晚会。 晚会充满笑声。 The picture is above the blackboard. The blackboard is below the picture.,7. Language in Use,1. What is pragmatics? 2.

29、g and utterance meaning? 4. What is the speech act theory? 5. What is performative and constative? 6. What is a locution, an illocution and a perlocution? 7. What is the cooperative principle?,什么是语用学,语用学，即研究语言使用的学科。 语用学，研究在不同语境中话语意义的恰当地表达和准确地理解，寻找并确立使话语意义得以恰当地表达和准确地理解的基本原则和准则。 语用学，研究话语在使用中的语境意义，或话语在

30、特定语境条件下的交际意义，特别研究在不同的语言交际环境下如何准确地理解语言和恰当地运用语言。,语义学与语用学的联系和区别： 二者都是对意义的研究，但它们是在两个不同的层面上对意义进行的研究：语义学是对抽象语言能力的研究，语用学是对言语行为（即通过言语实施的行为，是说话人跟听话人对抽象的语言能力的运用）的研究。二者之间的差别大体上就是意义和用法之间的差别。然而不应该忘记言语行为是语言能力的具体体现。 因此我们赞成利奇采用的观点：“语义学和语用学是互不相同但又互相补充的研究领域。”,句子与话语 句子：是一个句法学、语义学的概念，是脱离语境条件的抽象的单位，多用于指抽象的语法结构或脱离语境条件的结构

31、组合，也就是说,它是按照一定的语法规则组合起来的、具有意义的语言单位，其意义就是词汇意义和语法意义的组合，在任何条件下它的意义都是恒定的。 话语：是一个语用学概念，话语就是特定语境条件中所使用的句子、词或词语，体现的是特定的语境意义。,言语行为理论 是英国约翰兰素奥斯汀1955年提出的。他认为：为了传递信息，人们需要使用话语，但话语并非都是为了传递字面意义或表达话语本身的语义信息，在很多时候说话人都是在“通过言辞行事”（doing things with words）。比如，实施许诺、发出警告或威胁、表示请求、表达命令、进行批评等。 在一定的语境条件下通过话语实施的行为，被称为“言语行为”（s

32、peech acts），是说话人跟听话人对抽象的语言能力的运用。,I name this ship the Queen Elizabeth. I bequeath my match to my brother. I bet you six pences it will rain tomorrow. I promise to finish it in time. I apologize. I declare the meeting open. I warn you that the bull will charge.,Locutionary act （发话行为）,普通意义 我们说话的时候，要移动发音器官，发出按照一定方式组织起来，并被赋予了一定意义的声音。在这个意义上，当有人说“Morning！”时，我们可以问：“他做了什么？”，而不问“他说了什么？”。答案可以是他发出了一个声音，单词或者句子“Morning”。,Illocutionary
