体验认知方式或程度的一种实证研究

任何体验认知都需要身体的参与，然而从词汇角度开展的相关实证研究较少。为此，本文采用大型语料库对英语主要身体部位词汇的名—动表征进行了考察，结果发现:1）从共时角度看，身体词汇主要出现在事件或事态较多的文体中，比如小说或叙述体；2）从历时角度看，近200年身体词汇作名词时的变化不大，作动词则处于不断增长态势；3）从国别角度看，英国是身体词汇使用最多的国家。总之，不管共时还是历时，身体词作名词的频率远超作动词；“hand”作名词最多，“face”作动词最多，同时主动态远超被动态。以上之深层理据可能在于人们积极主动参与主客观世界的认知活动，但因每个部位自身功能不同，有的参与较多，有的则较少，主要通过隐喻或转喻式来参与，具有深厚的体认、自我、经济和哲学根基。

An Empirical Approach to the Mode or Degree of Embodied Cognition-Based on the Survey of N-V Representation of English Body Vocabulary

Any embodied cognition does require the participation of the body whatsoever. Well, there are very few empirical researches concerned in the past. Here by this paper employs the large-scaled corpora to conduct a survey of N-V representation of English body vocabulary, the results are shown as follows: 1) from the synchronic, they mainly appear in more eventual styles, such as novels or narratives; 2) from the diachronic, the frequency of nouns has not changed much in the past 200 years while that of verbs continued to increase; 3) from the national, the UK has always scored the maximal. In a word, no matter synchronic or diachronic, body vocabulary of nouns is far more than that of verbs; "hand" as a noun is used maximally, so does "face" as a verb, meanwhile the application of active voice is far more than that of the passive. The motivations of all above may be that people actively participate in the cognitive activities of the subjective and objective world, but because of the different functions of each part, some participate more, some less, mainly through metaphors or metonymy, with profound embodied, ego, economical and philosophical foundations.
