内容提要

本书共有十个章节。其中,第一章为导言,最后一章为结论,其余章节分别探讨认知语言学的各个概念与第二语言学习的关系,这些概念分别是识解、范畴、百科知识、隐喻、转喻、具身认知、语言理据和构式语法。每个章节也是以导言开头、以结论结尾,导言之后详细说明本章涉及的认知语言学概念,然后探寻如何将概念应用于二语习得与语言教学。

推荐理由

这本书妙趣横生、引人入胜。读者只需浏览一下各个章节的题目就会产生阅读的冲动,比如More about spinsters and their cats、“Eyebrow heads” and “yummy mummies”、“You’ll find Jane Austen in the basement”…or will you?、What have bees, macaque monkeys and humans got in common?、“Loud suits” and “sharp cheese”、“Brian sent Antarctica a walrus”。本书既适合想要全面了解认知语言学理论的入门级读者,也适合想要深入开展认知语言学应用研究的研究者们。

摘要

Recent studies in linguistics have shown that metaphor is ubiquitous. This has important consequences for language learners who need to use it appropriately in their speech and writing. This study aims to provide a preliminary measure of the amount and distribution of metaphor used by language learners in their writing across Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) levels. Two hundred essays written by Greek- and German-speaking learners of English are examined for their use of metaphor. The findings are that the overall density of metaphor increases from CEFR levels A2 to C2. At lower levels, most of the metaphoric items are closed-class, consisting mainly of prepositions, but at B2 level and beyond, the majority of metaphoric items are open-class. Metaphor is used to perform increasingly sophisticated functions at each of the levels. At B2 level, significantly more errors start to be perceived in the metaphorically used words, and there is more evidence of L1 influence. Descriptors are provided for CEFR levels A2–C2 regarding the use of metaphor.

推荐理由

隐喻的使用能力是二语学习者语言交际能力的重要部分,也是不同语言水平的学习者的语言能力的重要指标。本文以欧框为参照,探讨不同语言水平的学习者隐喻使用的不同特点,全面展示了语言水平与隐喻能力之间的关系。
