This article offers theoretical and programmatic reflection on how the impact of culture on language change should be accounted for from a radically usage-based diachronic construction grammatical perspective, with a focus on how cultural change can cause constructions to disappear from a language. It approaches this question through an assessment of how culture is incorporated in Schmid’s (2020) Entrenchment-and-Conventionalization model of ‘the dynamics of the linguistic system’. Against the backdrop of various proposals on the effect of ‘democratization’ in Anglo-Saxon culture on subtractive historical developments in the modal domain of English, and based on a study of interpersonal variation in the intrapersonal longitudinal development of a declining modal construction, the paper argues that the influence of culture on language change is mediated by entrenchment and that culture has a more extensive impact on entrenchment than the EC-model currently allows for.
本文从根本上以用法为基础的历时结构语法的角度,对文化对语言变化的影响进行了理论和方案上的反思,重点是文化变化如何导致结构从语言中消失。它通过评估文化如何被纳入施密德(2020)的“语言系统动力学”的根深蒂固和约定俗成模型来解决这个问题。在各种关于盎格鲁-撒克逊文化“民主化”对英语情态领域减法历史发展影响的建议的背景下,并基于对衰落情态结构的人际纵向发展中的人际变化的研究,本文认为文化对语言变化的影响是由堑沟介导的,文化对堑沟的影响比ec模型目前所允许的更广泛。

This paper aims to investigate the meanings of Chinese neng (modal verb) bu (negative word) neng (modal verb) + VP construction and explores the meaning motivations behind them. The present paper employs the method of collostructional analysis, R software and BLCU Corpus Center1 (BCC) are used to process the linguistic data. It is found that the prototypical meaning of the target construction is “let something (not) happen or let someone (not) do something” with the sense of negotiation and interaction and its extensional meanings include “getting an expected result”, “continuation”, “obtaining”, “specific actions containing causation, motion, communication, vision, life, and mental activities”. The meaning motivations of the construction lie in the force experience of human from his/her interaction with the outside world, and in the semantic interaction of its constituent words neng and bu.
本文旨在探讨汉语“能”(情态动词)、“能”(情态动词)+“副谓语”结构的意义,并探讨其背后的意义动机。本文采用结构分析的方法,使用R软件和BLCU语料库中心(BCC)对语言数据进行处理。发现目标结构的原型意义是“让某事(不)发生或让某人(不)做某事”,具有协商和互动的意义,其外延意义包括“获得预期结果”、“继续”、“获得”、“包含因果、运动、交流、视觉、生活和心理活动的具体行动”。构式的意义动机在于人与外界互动的力量体验,以及构式的组成词“能”和“但”的语义互动。

The semantic mapping of the German spatial preposition JENSEITS 德语空间介词JENSEITS的语义映射

The present study aims to investigate the semantic value of the German spatial preposition jenseits (‘beyond’). It is argued that our conceptualization of the spatial-physical world and how we interact with objects in our environment transforms a prepositions’ primary meaning into domains of meaning that are tied to time or social interactions. While the study of the semantic structure of English prepositions has received attention, German prepositions, particularly less frequently used ones such as hinter (‘behind’) or jenseits, present a gap in research. It is attempted to show that the different senses of jenseits form a semantic network in which meaning extensions of the spatial, primary sense of jenseits are motivated by varying construal patterns imposed upon an observed scene. The description of the semantic structure of jenseits also draws on previous studies on its English counterpart, beyond (Boers, 1996; Lindstromberg, 2010). Based on the sample collected for the purpose of this study, this paper analyzes 1000 occurrences of the preposition jenseits in the DWDS-subcorpus Die Zeit. The analysis shows that a high frequency of the occurrences found in the sample constitute non-spatial meanings of jenseits and thus encode a configuration between objects in more abstract domains. Furthermore, the notion of metaphorical mapping is used to explain the conceptualization and metaphorical transfer of spatial jenseits to abstract domains of human experience.
本研究旨在探讨德语空间介词jenseits(“beyond”)的语义价值。有人认为,我们对空间物理世界的概念化以及我们如何在环境中与物体互动,将介词的主要意义转化为与时间或社会互动相关的意义领域。尽管对英语介词语义结构的研究受到了关注,但德语介词,尤其是不太常用的介词,如hinter('behind')或jenseits,在研究方面存在空白。试图表明,jenseits的不同意义形成了一个语义网络,在这个语义网络中,jensets的空间初级意义的意义扩展是由施加在观察场景上的不同构念模式所驱动的。jenseits语义结构的描述也借鉴了以前对其英语对应词beyond的研究(Boers,1996;Lindstromberg,2010)。基于本研究所收集的样本,本文分析了DWDS子语料库《Die Zeit》中1000个介词jenseits的出现。分析表明,在样本中发现的高频率出现构成了jenseits的非空间意义,从而编码了更抽象领域中对象之间的配置。此外,隐喻映射的概念被用来解释空间要素向人类经验的抽象领域的概念化和隐喻转移。

Top-down and bottom-up approaches to teaching English verb-particle constructions 自上而下和自下而上的英语动词助词结构教学法

The present study examines two cognitive linguistics approaches to foreign language teaching. One draws on the conventionality of language use that a variety of expressions can be understood as instances of more general patterns, e.g., kick them out and eat it up as verb-object-particle, whereas the other centers on linguistic creativeness such as novel combinations or associations, e.g., chest down the ball. Noting that English verb-particle constructions (VPCs) exemplify both linguistic conventionality and creativeness, two types of instruction have been developed–namely, top-down instruction and bottom-up instruction. The top-down instruction presents VPCs as instances of conventional argument structures such as motion and resultative constructions (Goldberg, 2015), whereas the bottom-up instruction focuses on creative compositions of literal and metaphorical meanings (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980). The two types of instruction were provided for Korean EFL learners, and their knowledge of VPCs was measured by a pretest, an immediate posttest, and a four-week delayed posttest. Results of the immediate posttest showed that both types of instruction were effective in improving the learners’ knowledge of literal and figurative VPCs. In the delayed posttest, significantly greater retention was observed for the construction-based top-down instruction. This finding highlights the importance of argument structures as super-constructions in teaching VPCs to EFL learners.
本研究考察了两种认知语言学的外语教学方法。一种是利用语言使用的惯例,即各种表达可以被理解为更一般模式的实例,例如,将它们踢出去并作为动词-宾语助词吃掉,而另一种则集中在语言创造性上,如新颖的组合或联想,例如,胸部朝下的球。注意到英语动词助词结构(VPCs)体现了语言的传统性和创造性,已经发展出两种类型的教学,即自上而下的教学和自下而上的教学。自上而下的教学将VPCs呈现为传统论点结构的实例,如运动和结果结构(Goldberg,2015),而自下而上的教学侧重于字面和隐喻意义的创造性组合(Lakoff&Johnson,1980)。这两种类型的教学是为韩国EFL学习者提供的,他们的VPCs知识通过前测、即时后测和四周延迟后测来衡量。即时后测结果表明,这两种类型的教学都能有效地提高学习者对文字和比喻VPCs的知识。在延迟后测中,观察到基于结构的自上而下的教学有更大的保留率。这一发现突出了论点结构作为超级结构在英语学习者VPCs教学中的重要性。

Crosslinguistic studies on motion events have revealed that S-languages demonstrate finer-grained lexical categories than V-languages in representing motion manners/gaits. But these studies were restricted to the semantic domain of motion events and confined to a limited number of S- or V- languages. In this paper, we further investigate whether the association between lexical diversity and language typology is manifest in a similar way in the semantic domain of separation events by focusing on Mandarin, Russian and Korean. Our results suggest that: (1) Separation expressions support the diversity-typology correlation proved in motion expressions because the two S-languages Mandarin and Russian demonstrate richer lexical diversity than the V-language Korean; (2) It is further pointed out that apart from language typology, lexical diversity is influenced by multiple factors including lexical resources, conceptual salience, event construal, and event type; (3) Though typologically different, these three languages, in their lexical naming of separation events, are constrained by the biomechanical structure and follow the principle of prototypicality. Overall, this study opens up a new crosslinguistic perspective by showing how lexical diversity is typologically and linguistically driven.
对动作事件的跨语言研究表明,S语言在表现动作方式/步态方面表现出比V语言更细粒度的词汇类别。但这些研究仅限于运动事件的语义领域,并且仅限于有限数量的S或V语言。在本文中,我们通过关注普通话、俄语和韩语,进一步研究了词汇多样性与语言类型学之间的联系在分离事件的语义域中是否以类似的方式表现出来。我们的研究结果表明:(1)分离表达支持运动表达中证明的多样性-类型相关性,因为汉语和俄语这两种S语言比韩语表现出更丰富的词汇多样性;(2) 进一步指出,除了语言类型学之外,词汇多样性还受到多种因素的影响,包括词汇资源、概念显著性、事件构念和事件类型;(3) 这三种语言虽然在类型上不同,但在对分离事件进行词汇命名时,都受到生物力学结构的制约,遵循原型性原则。总的来说,本研究通过展示词汇多样性是如何在类型学和语言学上驱动的,开辟了一个新的跨语言视角。

An onomasiological competition between lexical units, in which they compete to name a certain object (phenomenon, process, event, etc.), rarely attracts the attention of linguists, mainly due to an interdisciplinary nature of such research and the lack of a developed methodology for that. In this article, the author presents a case study of the onomasiological competition between constructions of otkryvat' butylku (‘to open a bottle’) and otkuporivat' butylku (‘to uncork a bottle’) during the 19th and 20th centuries and reveals sociocultural factors influencing the course and result of this competition. Based on this analysis, a few sociocultural scenarios that should be taken into consideration in research of various types of onomasiological competition are presented.
词汇单元之间的拟声学竞争,即它们竞争命名某个对象(现象、过程、事件等),很少引起语言学家的注意,主要是因为这种研究具有跨学科性质,并且缺乏成熟的方法论。在本文中,作者对19世纪和20世纪otkryvat“butylku”(“打开一个瓶子”)和otkuporivat“butylku[打开一个瓶])结构之间的经济竞争进行了个案研究,并揭示了影响这种竞争过程和结果的社会文化因素。在此基础上,提出了在研究各种类型的经济竞争时应考虑的一些社会文化情景。

Move in a crowd 在人群中移动

When spatializing time, individuals can either say that they walk towards the future as though time is a stationary landscape (called ego-moving perspective), or that the future time moves towards them (called time-moving perspective). A substantial body of experimental research has shown that people’s adoption of these two temporal perspectives may be malleable, influenced by a broad set of factors. In the current research, we examined the novel possibility that the mere crowdedness of the environment can influence people’s abstract thinking about time. We contended that exposure to the crowd may be linked to increased anxiety, which can in turn lead to a greater preference for the time-moving perspective in the resolution of temporal ambiguity. Two experiments found that social crowding, whether induced via a visualization task or through an assignment to a crowded workstation, was sufficient to alter participants’ perspectives on the movement of events in time. Further, we found that anxiety mediated the relationship between crowdedness and temporal reasoning. Taken together, these results offer unique insights into the cognitive consequences of social crowding and provide a more complete understanding of how people adduce temporal relationship.
当将时间空间化时,个体可以说他们走向未来,就好像时间是一个静止的景观(称为自我移动视角),也可以说未来的时间向他们移动(称为时间移动视角)。大量的实验研究表明,人们对这两种时间视角的采用可能是可塑的,受到一系列广泛因素的影响。在目前的研究中,我们考察了一种新颖的可能性,即仅仅是环境的拥挤就可以影响人们对时间的抽象思考。我们认为,暴露在人群中可能与焦虑增加有关,这反过来会导致人们在解决时间模糊性时更倾向于时间移动视角。两项实验发现,无论是通过可视化任务还是通过分配到拥挤的工作站,社交拥挤都足以改变参与者对事件随时间推移的看法。此外,我们发现焦虑介导了拥挤和时间推理之间的关系。总之,这些结果为社会拥挤的认知后果提供了独特的见解,并对人们如何援引时间关系提供了更完整的理解。

From a war of defense to conventional wars 从防御战争到常规战争

The present longitudinal study investigates how the entailments of war metaphors evolve in different stages of COVID-19 containment in China using data from three documentaries made by Xinhua News Agency. A social semiotic model of multimodal metaphor analysis is adopted to analyze the military metaphors systematically in terms of semantic choice, multimodal realization, and context. The war framing is found as the pivotal rhetoric to conceptualize China’s response toward COVID-19 but distinctive features are attributed over time with a focus shifting from the “inevitability” in the initial stage to societal reactions in the later stage. In addition, socio-cultural factors embodied in multimodality not only efficiently guide the public to reason about the situation but also socialize the population to self-disciplining for the sake of everyone’s interest.
本纵向研究利用新华社制作的三部纪录片的数据,调查了战争隐喻在中国新冠肺炎控制的不同阶段是如何演变的。采用多模态隐喻分析的社会符号学模型,从语义选择、多模态实现和语境等方面对军事隐喻进行了系统分析。战争框架被认为是概念化中国应对新冠肺炎的关键修辞,但随着时间的推移,其独特特征被归因于重点从最初阶段的“不可避免”转移到后期的社会反应。此外,多重形态中所体现的社会文化因素不仅有效地引导公众对情况进行理性思考,而且为了每个人的利益,使人们进行自我约束。

Utilizing the framework of Extended Conceptual Metaphor Theory (ECMT), this paper presents a corpus-based multi-level comparative study of the economy is human metaphor in English and Chinese economic media discourse. While the results indicate a considerable sharing of their respective conceptual structures of “human body”, “human condition” and “human relationship”, they do reveal some differences in terms of their preference and the associated metaphorical expressions. The similarities detected can possibly be attributed to the similar body, physiological function and social attributes all human beings share, which then work as the source for drawing inferences about the economy. The differences however are also likely to be derived from the different saliences of human experience which characterize the English and Chinese social-cultural contexts. Another possible explanation for these differing culturally-sourced linguistic metaphors may well be media language and its idiosyncratic stylistic features.
本文利用扩展概念隐喻理论(ECMT)的框架,对英汉经济媒体语篇中的经济即人隐喻进行了基于语料库的多层次比较研究。虽然研究结果表明,他们各自的“人体”、“人的状况”和“人的关系”概念结构有很大的共同性,但他们确实在偏好和相关的隐喻表达方面存在一些差异。检测到的相似性可能归因于所有人类共享的相似身体、生理功能和社会属性,这些属性是推断经济的来源。然而,这种差异也可能源于人类经验的不同显著性,这是英汉社会文化背景的特征。对于这些不同文化来源的语言隐喻,另一种可能的解释可能是媒体语言及其独特的文体特征。
