话语线性结构问题的认知分析

语言编码中的语句组成不仅受到一定的语法规则和语义选择的制约,而且也影响话语信息的突显和解读,由此产生的话语线性结构问题受到了传统语法学家以及认知语言学家等的共同关注。二者的主要观点、原则和方法基本一致,侧重将语义作为语言研究的出发点和重点,认为应诉诸语义来描写语法,将语言解释为一种可进行语义选择的系统。但是从认知语言的角度对话语线性结构问题进行分析探讨,应强调对语句组成的研究不仅要从语法规则和语义选择方面考虑,更应从较为深层的结构,即认知的角度加以分析。

Cognitive Analysis on the Linearisation Problem of Discourse Structure

The constitution of sentence in linguistic encoding is constrained with certain grammatical rules and semantic selection, and at the same time influences the prominence and construal of a discourse. The linearisation problem that has thus produced has drawn wide attention form both traditional grammarians and cognitive linguists.They emphasized that the semantic aspect should be the starting and key point. This article, based on cognitive linguistics, discusses this problem from a cognitive perspective of view stressing that the study on this problem shall apply not only grammatical rules and semantic selection but also cognitive analysis on the deep structure and cognitive levels of a discourse.
