认知语言学视角下多词单位的二语教学研究

传统语言学视角下的多词单位缺乏理据性,教学通常是难题,认知语言学为其提供了新的视角。国内外学者已做过认知语言学和二语教学相结合的多词单位实证研究。主要依据原型理论、概念隐喻、词源理据、意象及意象图式等认知原理具体介绍四项实证研究,并从研究使用的教学内容、教学方法和测试方法等方面进行评价。根据其研究不足,提出对未来研究的展望,以期对外语语言工作者、外语教师和研究者在多词单位的实证研究和教学方面有所启示。

A Second Language Teaching Research on Multiword Units from a Cognitive Linguistic Perspective

The multi-word units lack motivation from the perspective of traditional linguistics, which leads to great difficulty in teaching them, while cognitive linguistics provides a new perspective for the problem. The empirical studies on multi-word units teaching guided by cognitive linguistic principles are introduced. Then four present typical studies are presented in detail accord- ing to the cognitive linguistic principles involved in them. These studies are mainly evaluated in terms of teaching content（ what to teach）, teaching method（ how to teach） and testing method（ how to test）, etc. There are also some possible research orlenta- tions in the future, expecting to have some implication for the foreign language teachers and researchers in their teaching and studies.
