多模态颜色词认知与英语说明文写作教学

英语说明文写作是论文写作的基础,其中的逻辑性培养一直是教学重点与难点,涉及人类认知世界与阐释世界的方法论。认知语言学关注人脑的思维与认知轨迹在语言中的呈现,其中的理论可以用来指导英语说明文的阅读与写作过程。国内外已出现认知语言学和英语写作的融合研究,但涉及说明文写作教学中的具体逻辑思维培养方法与操作流程的还不多见。文章基于认知语言学的颜色词理论,通过课文解析和学生习作分析修改的思路过程,以多模态的形式展示英语说明文写作的逻辑思维能力培养路径。 

A Cognitive Multimodal Teaching Model for Writing of English Expository Articles: Color Terms

The training of logicality in writing English expository articles has long been a key teaching point due to the fact that the expository article serves as the foundation of academic writing. Since the expository article is concerned with the way people perceive and present the world, some theories of cognitive linguistics, which explores the cognitive development of human brain, can be employed to give instructions on the reading and writing of English expository articles. Some integrated studies of cognitive linguistics and English writing can be seen both home and abroad, among which researches targeted at a specific training method of logical thinking and its operational process can hardly be found. Against this background, this paper will utilize color terms, a cognitive theory, to demonstrate a multimodal training method of logical thinking in writing expository articles through text analysis and student composition revision.
