Abstract The focus of much sensory language research has been on vocabulary and codability, not how language is used in communication of sensory perceptions. We make a case for discourse-oriented research about sensory language as an alternative to the prevailing vocabulary orientation. To consider the language of sound in authentic textual data, we presented participants with 20 everyday sounds of unknown sources and asked them to describe the sounds in as much detail as possible, as if describing them to someone who could not hear them. We explored how the participants use language to describe these sounds. Do they describe their listening experiences ( stressful ), sound properties ( intermittent beeping ), and/or the events that caused the sounds ( eating an apple )? The results show that out of these three soundscape elements, events are the most frequent and most indispensable element. We let the results from the study illustrate the need for more discursive data in studies of sensory language and argue that there is no designated language of sound. Our study highlights that in order to account for sensory language use, we need an analytical framework that accommodates discursive language in a non-trivial way beyond stable couplings between individual words and meanings.
许多感觉语言研究的重点是词汇和可编码性,而不是语言在感觉知觉的交流中是如何使用的。我们提出了一个案例,以话语为导向的研究感官语言作为替代流行的词汇取向。为了在真实的文本数据中考虑声音的语言,我们向参与者展示了20种未知来源的日常声音,并要求他们尽可能详细地描述这些声音,就像向听不到这些声音的人描述一样。我们探索了参与者如何使用语言来描述这些声音。他们是否描述了他们的聆听体验(压力),声音特性(间歇性的哔哔声),和/或引起这些声音的事件(吃苹果)?结果表明,在这三种声景元素中,事件是出现频率最高、最不可或缺的元素。我们让这项研究的结果说明在感官语言的研究中需要更多的话语数据,并认为没有指定的声音语言。我们的研究强调,为了解释感觉语言的使用,我们需要一个分析框架,以一种非平凡的方式容纳话语语言,而不是单个单词和含义之间的稳定耦合。

Abstract While much earlier work has indicated that prior verb bias from lifelong language experience influences language processing, recent findings highlight the fact that verb biases induced during lab-based exposure sessions also influence processing. We investigated the nature of updating, i.e., how prior and current experience might interact in guiding subsequent sentence production. Participants underwent a short training session where we manipulated the bias of known English dative verbs. The prior bias of each verb for the double-object (DO) versus the prepositional-object (PO) dative was estimated using a corpus. Current verb bias was counterbalanced and controlled experimentally. Bayesian mixed-effects logistic models of participants’ responses (DO or PO) during subsequent free-choice production showed that both the prior and current verb biases affected speakers’ construction choice. These effects were additive and not interactive, contrary to the prediction from error-based learning models. Semantic similarity to other verbs and their experimentally manipulated biases influenced sentence production, consistent with item-based analogy and exemplar theory. These results shed light on the potential mechanisms underlying language updating and the adaptation of sentence production to ongoing experience.
虽然早期的研究表明,终身语言经验的先验动词偏见会影响语言加工,但最近的研究结果强调,在实验室暴露过程中引起的动词偏见也会影响语言加工。我们研究了更新的本质,即先前和当前的经验如何相互作用,指导后续的句子生成。参与者接受了一个简短的训练,在这个训练中,我们操纵了已知英语与格动词的偏差。使用语料库估计了每个动词对双宾语(DO)与介词-宾语(PO)与格的优先偏差。当前的动词偏误在实验中得到了平衡和控制。贝叶斯混合效应逻辑模型研究了参与者在随后的自由选择过程中的反应(DO或PO),结果表明,先前和当前的动词偏差都会影响说话人的结构选择。与基于错误的学习模型的预测相反,这些影响是叠加的,而不是相互作用的。与其他动词的语义相似性及其实验操纵的偏差影响句子的生成,与基于项目的类比和范例理论一致。这些结果揭示了语言更新和句子生成对持续经验的适应的潜在机制。

Cross-modal iconicity and indexicality in the production of lexical sensory and emotional signs in Finnish Sign Language 芬兰手语词汇、感觉和情感符号产生中的跨模态象似性和指数性

Abstract In the present study, cross-modal (i.e., across sensory modalities such as smell and sound) iconicity (i.e., resemblance) and indexicality (i.e., contiguity) in lexical sensory and emotional signs in Finnish Sign Language will be considered from an articulatory perspective (i.e., the production of signs). Such cross-modal iconicity has not been extensively studied previously, so here, with the help of cognitive semiotics, I aim to carefully describe the cross-modal patterns observed across 118 signs, including 60 sensory signs and 58 emotional signs. The analysis is framed within the theoretical model of Semiotic Hierarchy, which entails a non-reductionist view of meaning. In addition, a pheno-methodological triangulation will be applied: phenomenology (first-person method), literature of phenomenological and semiotic descriptions (second-person perspective) and experimental findings (third-person perspective). The results of this analysis show that (a) 71 of the 118 sensory and emotional signs are cross-modally indexical, (b) only 10 of the 71 signs can be regarded as cross-modally iconic, (c) cross-modal iconicity is highly diagrammatic, (d) iconicity and indexicality are highly integrated, and (e) articulatory feedback matters in the formation of semiotic patterns. This study contributes to our understanding of cross-modal iconicity in signed languages, as well as studies in semiotic systems more generally.
摘要本研究将从发音的角度(即符号的产生)研究芬兰手语词汇感官和情感符号的跨模态(即气味和声音等感官模态)象似性(即相似性)和指数性(即邻接性)。这种跨模态象似性以前没有被广泛研究过,所以在这里,借助认知符号学,我的目标是仔细描述在118个符号中观察到的跨模态模式,其中包括60个感觉符号和58个情感符号。分析是在符号学层次的理论模型框架内,这需要一个非还原论的观点的意义。此外,将应用现象方法三角测量:现象学(第一人称方法),现象学和符号学描述文献(第二人称视角)和实验结果(第三人称视角)。分析结果表明:(a) 118个感觉和情感符号中有71个是跨模态指向性的,(b) 71个符号中只有10个可以被认为是跨模态指向性的,(c)跨模态象似性是高度图解的,(d)象似性和指向性是高度整合的,(e)表达反馈在符号模式的形成中起着重要作用。这项研究有助于我们理解手语中的跨模态象似性,以及更广泛的符号系统研究。

The complexity principle and the morphosyntactic alternation between case affixes and postpositions in Estonian 爱沙尼亚语格词缀与后置词的复杂性原理及形态句法交替

Abstract This paper investigates three morphosyntactic alternations in Estonian – those between the exterior locative cases allative, adessive and ablative and the corresponding postpositions peale ‘onto’, peal ‘on’ and pealt ‘off’. Based on the Complexity Principle (e.g., Rohdenburg, Günter. 2002. Processing complexity and the variable use of prepositions in English. In Hubert Cuyckens & Günter Radden (eds.), Perspectives on prepositions, 79–100. Tübingen: Niemeyer), we expect cognitively more complex constructions to use more explicit (i.e., morphologically more substantial) marking by means of a postposition. Further, we expect variation to be conditioned similarly in all three semantic categories. For each of the three alternations, a random sample of the two outcomes (case vs. postposition) from the Estonian National Corpus is used, resulting in 3,000 data points. Using properties of the Landmark phrase as independent variables in Bayesian mixed-effects logistic regression models, we predict the choice of postpositions over case-marked realisations. Of the patterns found, only the frequency-related one supports our complexity-related hypothesis. We conclude that the Complexity Principle, in its general form, has little explanatory power for the Estonian constructions at hand and, in particular, that the derived principle of ‘analytic support’ is not generally applicable. We show, however, that the grammatical knowledge of Estonian exterior locative cases and the corresponding postpositions is regulated by our three factors in a relatively uniform way.
摘要本文研究了爱沙尼亚语中的三种形态句法变化,即外部方位格allive、adessive和消融格与相应的后置词“on”、“on”和“off”之间的变化。基于复杂性原理(例如,Rohdenburg,günter.2002。英语介词的处理复杂性和可变用法。Hubert Cuyckens和Günter Radden(编辑),介词透视,79-100。Tübingen:Niemeyer),我们期望认知上更复杂的结构通过后置使用更明确的(即形态上更实质的)标记。此外,我们预计变异在所有三个语义类别中都有类似的条件。对于三种替代方案中的每一种,都使用爱沙尼亚国家语料库中两种结果(病例与职位后)的随机样本,得到3000个数据点。在贝叶斯混合效应逻辑回归模型中,利用标志短语的性质作为自变量,我们预测了职位的选择,而不是案例标记的实现。在发现的模式中,只有与频率相关的模式支持我们与复杂性相关的假设。我们得出的结论是,复杂性原则,在其一般形式下,对手头的爱沙尼亚语结构几乎没有解释力,特别是,“分析支持”的衍生原则并不普遍适用。然而,我们表明,爱沙尼亚外部方位格和相应后置格的语法知识是由我们的三个因素以相对统一的方式调节的。

Abstract Disruptions in theory of mind faculties and the ability to relate to an intersubjective reality are widely thought to be crucial to schizophrenic symptomology. This paper applies a cognitive linguistic framework to analyze spontaneous perspective-taking in two corpora of stories told by people with a schizophrenia diagnosis. We elicited natural narrative language use through life story interviews and a guided storytelling task and analyzed the linguistic construal of viewpoint in these stories. For this analysis, we developed a reliable and widely applicable viewpoint model that allows for the categorization and quantification of speakers’ linguistic presentation and navigation of spatiotemporal domains. We found that our participants skillfully presented, navigated and embedded different narrative viewpoints through a variety of linguistic viewpoint devices. They presented complex viewpoints of other people in both the here-and-now of the interaction and the there-and-then of a narrative, and made use of transition markers to demarcate spatiotemporal discourse domains. We found no differences in viewpoint variables when comparing their guided stories to a control group. If problems with intersubjectivity are indeed an essential part of schizophrenia, an explanation of how this group can take on and navigate complex linguistic viewpoints in natural narrative interaction is called for.
精神官能理论的颠覆和与主体间现实联系的能力被广泛认为是精神分裂症症状学的关键。本文运用认知语言学的框架分析了两个被诊断为精神分裂症的人所讲故事的语料库中的自发视角转换。我们通过生活故事访谈和一项有指导的讲故事任务,引出了自然的叙事语言使用,并分析了这些故事中观点的语言解释。为了进行这项分析,我们开发了一个可靠且广泛适用的观点模型,该模型允许对说话者的语言表达和时空域导航进行分类和量化。我们发现,我们的参与者通过各种语言观点装置巧妙地呈现、导航和嵌入了不同的叙事观点。他们在互动的此时此地和叙事的此时此地呈现了其他人的复杂观点,并利用过渡标记来划分时空话语域。在将他们的指导故事与对照组进行比较时,我们发现观点变量没有差异。如果主体间性问题确实是精神分裂症的重要组成部分,那么就需要解释这一群体如何在自然叙事互动中接受和驾驭复杂的语言观点。

An assessment of the fourth law of Kuryłowicz: does prototypicality of meaning affect language change? 对Kuryłowicz第四定律的评估:意义的原型性会影响语言的变化吗?

Abstract According to the (in)famous fourth law of Kuryłowicz (K4), when a morphological doublet arises in a language, the newer form becomes associated with the prototypical, basic meaning, while the old form takes a secondary meaning. This paper takes a first attempt at a more thorough inquiry of K4 to assess whether prototypicality of meaning has an effect on morphological change. Three studies on historical Dutch are taken on: -en versus -s plurals, the apocope of schwa and the apocope of -de. The effects of prototypicality are analysed both on a token level (differences in meaning within lemmas) as well as on a type level (differences between lemmas). As proxies for prototypicality of meaning (psycho)linguistic predictors are used, such as concreteness, age of acquisition, chronology of meaning, meaning frequency and metaphor. Results show no clear effect of prototypicality on a token level, but they do suggest an effect on a type level: more concrete meanings tend to show up more often with the newer variant. Yet these results may also be ascribed to iconicity as the newer variants in these cases are the shorter ones and concrete meanings tend to be represented by shorter words than abstract ones.
根据著名的Kuryłowicz (K4)第四定律,当一种语言中出现一种形态双重形式时,新形式与原型的基本意义联系在一起,而旧形式则具有次要意义。本文首次尝试对K4进行更深入的研究,以评估意义的原型性是否对形态变化有影响。对历史上的荷兰语进行了三个研究:-en和-s复数,弱读音的启示和-de的启示。原型性的影响在符号水平(引理内的意义差异)和类型水平(引理之间的差异)上都进行了分析。作为意义原型(心理)的代理,使用了语言预测因子,如具体性、习得年龄、意义年表、意义频率和隐喻。结果显示,原型性在符号层面上没有明显的影响,但它们确实表明了在类型层面上的影响:更具体的含义往往出现在较新的变体上。然而,这些结果也可能归因于象似性,因为在这些情况下,较新的变体是较短的,具体的意思往往用较短的词来表示,而不是抽象的词。

Chinese synthetic verbs: a further challenge to manner/result complementarity on the basis of lexical root meaning analysis 汉语合成动词:基于词根意义分析对方式/结果互补性的进一步挑战

Abstract This paper introduces Chinese synthetic verbs and analyses their contributions to debates in manner/result complementarity studies and cognitive typology studies. Chinese synthetic verbs simultaneously express manner information and path/result information, but encode them into separate root slots under Beavers and Koontz-Garboden’s (2012. Manner and result in the roots of verbal meaning. Linguistic Inquiry 43(3). 331–369) scopal modifier test, so they differ from English “manner+result verbs” and further challenge the manner/result complementarity hypothesis. Synthetic verbs followed by redundant path/result verbs constitute double-framing structures that twice encode the framing information, and the non-motion case, i.e., the “synthetic verb+result verb” structure, supplements Croft et al.’s (2010.

摘要本文介绍了汉语合成动词,并分析了它们在方式/结果互补性研究和认知类型学研究中对辩论的贡献。根据Beavers和Koontz-Garboden(2012)的研究,汉语合成动词同时表达方式信息和路径/结果信息,但将它们编码到单独的根槽中。举止和结果是语言意义的根源。语言学探究43(3)。331–369)范围修饰语测试,因此它们不同于英语的“方式+结果动词”,并进一步挑战了方式/结果互补假说。合成动词后接冗余路径/结果动词构成双框架结构,对框架信息进行两次编码,而非动作格,即“合成动词+结果动词”结构,补充了Croft等人(2010)。重新审视塔米对复杂事件结构的类型学分类。在Hans C.Boas(编辑),结构语法中的对比研究,第10卷,201–235。Amsterdam&Philadelphia:John Benjamins Publishing Company)的分类,只包括动格,因此汉语合成动词补充了对双框架结构的讨论。因此,本文进一步证伪了方式/结果互补假说,并对认知类型学中的双框架结构进行了全面的阐释。本文还阐述了态度的历时性变化,这种变化可能是普遍的,有待进一步研究。

Abstract Unlike previous studies which generally seem to focus more on Hausa metaphorical expressions, this study investigates a wide range of uses of ίdὸ ‘eye’ in its constructional metonymy patterns in the language by exploring corpus data that contain over 300 eye-related expressions. We observe that some constructional metonymies maintain a set of fixed words and syntax in activating conceptual shifts and producing eye metonymies while others have semi-fixed patterns and produce the same metonymies. Lexical items like tsόkάlế, kὰn, ὰ, dὰ, and bὰsίrὰ among others are constant constituents in the constructional metonymies in which they appear. In the metonymic chaining, the basic mapping of eye metonymies occurs via the part for part relation under E-metonymies and the sub- for supercategory relation under C-metonymies. We also observe that E→E→C coding has the highest chained metonymic structure in the creation of the eye metonymies. Both attributive and predicative colligates motivate metonymic senses in the language. Finally, our analysis reveals that the eye is metonymically conceptualized and semantically extended to various target domains and produces metonymic conceptualizations that make the eye stand for vision, desire, envy, control, attention, perception, person, meeting, brain, intelligence, and so on.
摘要与以前的研究不同,以前的研究似乎更多地关注豪萨语的隐喻表达,本研究调查了ίd的广泛使用ὸ ‘通过探索包含300多个眼睛相关表达的语料库数据,我们发现了“眼睛”在语言中的结构转喻模式。我们观察到,一些结构转喻在激活概念转换和产生眼睛转喻时保持了一组固定的单词和句法,而另一些结构转喻则具有半固定的模式并产生相同的转喻。词汇项目,如tsίkάlế, kὰnὰ, dὰ, 和bὰsίrὰ 其中包括它们所出现的结构转喻中的恒定成分。在转喻链中,眼睛转喻的基本映射是通过E转喻下的部分对部分关系和C转喻下的亚对超范畴关系来实现的。我们还观察到→E→在眼睛转喻的创造中,C编码具有最高的链式转喻结构。定语和表语类因在语言中都激发转喻意义。最后,我们的分析表明,眼睛是转喻概念化的,并在语义上扩展到各个目标领域,产生转喻概念,使眼睛代表视觉、欲望、嫉妒、控制、注意力、感知、人、会议、大脑、智力等。
