摘要
本文对Vyvyan Evans的专著《语言与时间》进行介评,指出该书重点探讨了英语中时间参照的实质、时间参照框架以及LCCM理论下的语义建构机制在时间概念表征中的运作。这些关于时间域的认知研究强调时间经验的直接体验性和语言系统本身强大的阐释力,一定程度上颠覆了以往对时空关系和概念隐喻的认识。
This paper gives a review of Language and Time authored by Vyvyan Evans. The book discusses the nature of temporal reference, temporal frames of reference in English and the application of meaning construction mechanism put forward by the Theory of Lexical Concepts and Cognitive Models(LCCM Theory). It assumes that time is directly experienced and equal consideration should be given to linguistic system to account for the representation of temporal conceptions, which to some extent gives rise to the rethinking of time-space relationship and the role conceptual metaphor plays in language understanding.
