“程度副词+名词”结构的认知语言学研究

论文摘要

传统语法认为形名组合是合情合理而副名组合却是不符合语法、有待商榷的。然而,现代汉语中越来越流行“很中国”、“很女人”、“很阿Q”之类在程度副词后紧跟一个名词或名词短语的说法,在实际交际中这一结构的使用不仅不会造成误解而且可以达到积极的表达效果.早期的研究把这一结构看成是一种临时的词类活用现象,后来的学者分别从语义,语用,功能等方面对这一结构进行解释。但是以前的这些讨论很少涉及到副名结构的本质及这一结构产生的认知过程,本文试从“程度副词+名词”结构的转喻本质出发,借助概念整合理论,探讨了“程度副词+名词”这一结构形成的详细心理认知过程。我们的研究认为“程度副词+名词”是一种语言认知现象,它的存在是语言转喻本质的外部表现形式之一,人们在认识和描述事物或事件中总是抓住其最突显的特征。“程度副词+名词”结构是通过转喻机制将名词的一些描述性特征映射到该名词,该名词的某些显性描述性特征和程度副词映射到“程度副词+名词”的合成空间后通过组合,完善,和扩展三个彼此关联的心理认知过程的相互作用而产生层创结构即“程度副词+名词”结构。转喻的映射与概念整合中的“整合”在阐释“程度副词+名词”结构中起着互相补充的角色。
