【摘要】：本文采用实验方法针对汉语母语者的空间化时间表征偏好进行研究。已有研究表明,汉语母语者可以在三维空间中,即沿左右轴、前后轴以及上下轴自由概念化时间,并且他们思考时间的模式与所持语言和所属文化中的模式一致。本文在具身认知框架下,以三个行为实验考察汉语母语者对于不同空间轴的时间表征的偏好。本研究的第一个实验要求被试在三维空间中自由放置时间点。实验结果显示出被试在左右轴上空间化时间的明显倾向。就左右轴上的时间表征来说,被试表现出了从左往右的时间安排模式,这一模式与汉语的读写习惯相符。在前后轴时间表征中,被试呈现出“早-后”、“晚-前”这一时间-时间关联模式；在上下轴表征中,呈现出“早-上”、“晚-下”的关联模式,该模式与汉语中的垂直空时隐喻特点相符。第二个实验借助内隐联想任务,从在线加工的角度为前一个实验的结果提供支持。该实验证实了汉语母语者对于左右轴表征的偏好,以及在各轴上的时间-空间关联模式。第三个实验专门考察汉语母语者在加工“时间在动”隐喻时的时间朝向(即说话者／自我面朝未来还是面朝过去),对本文和已有研究之间的不同结果的解释之一进行验证。该实验结果暗示了文化态度对于时间朝向的影响力。总体而言,本研究结果支持了感知运动经验以及概念隐喻在塑造和影响人们抽象概念表征上所起的作用。
[Abstract]:In this paper, the spatial time representation preference of native Chinese speakers is studied by experimental method. It has been shown that Chinese native speakers can conceptualize time freely in three dimensional space, that is, along the left and right axis, front and rear axis, and upper and lower axes, and their patterns of thinking about time are consistent with the patterns in their own language and culture. In this paper, three behavioral experiments were conducted to investigate the preference of Chinese native speakers for temporal representation of different spatial axes under the framework of physical cognition. In this first experiment, participants were asked to place free time points in three-dimensional space. The experimental results show that the subjects tend to space time on the left and right axis. In terms of the time representation on the left and right axis, the subjects showed a pattern of time arrangement from left to right, which was consistent with Chinese reading and writing habits. In the time representation of front and rear axis, the subjects showed a time-time correlation pattern of "early to back" and "late to front", and in the upper and lower axis representations, they showed "early-top" and "late-down" correlation patterns. The pattern is consistent with the vertical space-time metaphor in Chinese. The second experiment supports the results of the previous experiment from the point of view of online processing with the help of implicit association task. This experiment confirms the preference of Chinese native speakers for the representation of the left and right axes, as well as the temporal and spatial correlation patterns on each axis. The third experiment focuses on the temporal orientation (i.e., the speaker / ego facing the future or the past) when the native speakers process the metaphor of "time in motion", and verifies one of the explanations of the different results between this paper and the previous studies. The results suggest the influence of cultural attitudes on time orientation. In general, the present study supports the role of perceptual motor experience and conceptual metaphor in shaping and influencing abstract conceptual representation.
