摘要:认知语法语法配价理论对英语形容词句式的语义建构做出了强有力的解释。一个形容词句式表达不同的语义;是由语言运用者对相关实体或事件的特征概念化的不同方式造成的。不同的概念化方式在语言运用者头脑里产生了不同的意象;表征不同的语义结构。语言运用者对同一事态不同的概念化方式从认知的视角解释了同一句法结构象征不同的语义结构的原因所在。
The valence theory of cognitive grammar provides a powerful explanation of the semantic alignment of the English adjectival syntactic construction.The different semantics of the adjectival syntactic construction is closely related to the different ways language users conceptualize the entities or the events.Different ways of conceptualization bring different imageries in the mind of language users which symbolize different semantic structures.Language users’ different conceptualization of the same state explains why the same syntactic construction symbolizes different semantic structures.
