认知理论视角下的大学英语词汇教学探究

论文摘要

词汇是人类语言的基本形式,基本单位和人与人进行交际的基础。因此,在语言中,词汇占有着绝对重要的位置。对于第二外语学习者来说,语言能力的提高和交际能力的发展都离不开词汇,能否攻克词汇学习这一关很大程度上决定了学习者的学习效果。然而,由于缺乏系统的词汇教学理论以及有效的词汇教学策略,词汇教学在语言教学中的重要地位并没有得到足够的重视,学习者词汇根基不稳,语言能力很难提高和学习效果都不理想,形成“费时低效”的一种局面。因此,对词汇教学进行研究有着重要的理论和现实意义。认知语言学观点认为,世界是由千变万化的事物组成的,人们通过分析、判断和归类等方法对世界万物进行分类和定位。人类对客观事物进行分类的心理过程被称为范畴化。它是认识世界的一种方式。范畴的层次性和原型特征是人类认知世界的方式的具体体现。因此,这些认知特点也必然会体现在英语词汇教与学的过程中。本文从认知语言学理论出发,作者对英语词汇教学的各个方面进行了认知探究,用范畴化原型理论及范畴化的层次理论分析大学英语词汇的语音教学,英语构词教学,英语语义教学,包括语音认知分类与理解,英语构词方式的认知解释,英语语义演变与一词多义的认知分析,本文对如何能够提高英语习得者的词汇能力,如词汇的广度,深度以及应用能力,为建立英语词汇教学系统模式提供了积极建议和解决方略。
