Abstract

Abstract The article is dedicated to researching resilience as a relevant social concept. It puts forward a new idea to study the actual mental consideration of social and political phenomena via purely linguistic tools. As a research methodology, a new approach is offered. In particular, the authors extrapolate Zhabotynska’s semantics of lingual networks onto Popova and Sternin’s semantic-cognitive analysis. The study is conducted through corpus technologies: a COCA sample of discourse contexts with the resilience lexeme is used to reconstruct a conceptual model of the resilience concept (denotative meaning). Subsequently, this meaning is processed via two cognitive operations: cognitive interpretation and prominence. Finally, the field cognitive model of resilience is obtained. Sorted by frequency in the corpus sample as core and periphery zones, the separate cognitive features indicate what is more or less important for Americans in the current consideration of resilience as a social and political phenomenon. Each research stage is explained and discussed by the authors in detail.

将复原力作为相关社会概念的心理考量（基于语料库的美国英语研究）

摘要本文致力于研究抗逆力这一相关社会概念。文章提出了一个新思路，即通过纯粹的语言工具来研究社会和政治现象的实际心理考量。作为一种研究方法，本文提出了一种新的方法。特别是，作者将 Zhabotynska 的语言网络语义学推演到 Popova 和 Sternin 的语义认知分析中。这项研究是通过语料库技术进行的：使用含有复原力词素的 COCA 语篇语境样本来重建复原力概念的概念模型（指称意义）。随后，通过两种认知操作对这一含义进行处理：认知解释和突出。最后，得到复原力的实地认知模型。根据语料库样本中核心区和外围区的频率排序，不同的认知特征表明在当前将抗灾能力视为一种社会和政治现象时，什么对美国人来说更重要或不那么重要。作者对每个研究阶段都进行了详细的解释和讨论。
