【摘要】：颜色词汇的研究在认知语言学的范畴理论中有着重要的地位,人们借由研究颜色词汇的分类来研究语言中的范畴化问题。颜色的认知研究能够有效帮助人们理解和认识“范畴”这一概念。在传统的范畴观里,颜色词汇的研究使得人们认为人类所生活的现实世界是一个连续体,而作为人类认知活动中最重要、最基本的分类,即范畴化,只不过是语言和文化的产物而已。人们认为颜色的分类是可以通过学习来获得。但随着研究的深入,人们发现在将传统的范畴理论应用到具体的语言现象的分析时,暴露出来一些无法克服的缺陷。语言学家们不得不去寻找不同于经典范畴理论的另一种范畴观。语言学家经长期研究得出结论,尽管不同语言中描述颜色的术语数目不尽相同,覆盖范围不同,但几乎被研究的所有语言中的基本颜色词的排序却遵循着一种潜在的相对一致性的顺序,也就是“焦点色”。“焦点色”词汇概念的提出确立了基本颜色范畴。在此相关基础上,语言学家进一步提出了原型和基本层次范畴的理论,即众多范畴都是围绕一个原型而构成的。语言离不开文化,文化模式对语言认知有着重要影响。在跨文化交际中,不同语言中的颜色词汇的实用也显示了文化的异同,可以称之为色彩文化差异。从语言和文化及文化中的语言两个方面来看,英汉两种语言因为文化背景及历史背景等方面的差异,在颜色词的使用和理解上自然也就存在着诸多差异。通过对中西不同的文化交流模式和深层结构的分析,可以看文化差异在英汉焦点色词汇的学习和认知上的影响,从而更好的理解颜色范畴概念。
[Abstract]:The study of color vocabulary plays an important role in the category theory of cognitive linguistics. People study the categorization of language by studying the classification of color vocabulary. Color cognitive research can effectively help people understand and understand the concept of "category". In the traditional category view, the study of color vocabulary makes people think that the real world of human life is a continuum, and as the most important and basic classification of human cognitive activities, that is, categorization. It's just a product of language and culture. It is believed that the classification of colors can be obtained through learning. However, with the deepening of the research, people find that when applying the traditional category theory to the analysis of specific linguistic phenomena, some defects that cannot be overcome are exposed. Linguists have to look for another category view which is different from classical category theory. Linguists have come to the conclusion over a long period of time that although the number of terms describing colors in different languages varies in number and coverage varies, But the sort of basic color words in almost all the languages studied follows a potentially relatively consistent order, that is, "focus color". The concept of "focus color" established the basic color category. On the basis of this, linguists further put forward the theory of archetypes and basic level categories, that is, many categories are formed around a prototype. Language is inseparable from culture, and cultural patterns have an important influence on language cognition. In cross-cultural communication, the practical use of color words in different languages also shows the cultural similarities and differences, which can be called color cultural differences. From the two aspects of language, culture and culture, there are many differences in the use and understanding of color words between English and Chinese because of the differences in cultural background and historical background. Through the analysis of different cultural communication modes and deep structures between China and the West, we can see the influence of cultural differences on the learning and cognition of English and Chinese focus color words, so as to better understand the concept of color category.
