摘要
图形-背景理论是一种认知观,1915年由丹麦心理学家鲁宾(Rub in)首先提出,后由完形心理学家借鉴来研究知觉(主要是视觉和听觉)及描写空间组织的方式,再后来被认知语言学家用来研究语言结构的意义。图形-背景分离原则是空间组织的一个基本认知原则,同时也是语言组织概念内容的一个基本认知原则。确定"背景"和"目标"是主客观结合的结果,但最终以主观为准。本文从图形-背景论的基本思想出发,对英语分裂句(it-clefts)进行了重新认识。
Figure-ground theory is first introduced into psychology by Danish psychologist Rubin in 1915 and later it is used by gestalt psychologists as the framework of perceptual organization;it is used by cognitive linguists to analyze the meaning of linguistic structures.The principle of figure-ground segregation is one of the basic cognitive principles according to which space is organized,and it can also be applied to language as a basic cognitive principle by which language organizes its concepts.The selection of figure and ground is the mutual effect of objective and subjective factors,but it mainly depends on the latter.In the light of this theory,English cleft sentences are revisited.
