Word Order of Lexical Collocation from the Perspective of Cognitive Point-of-view Theory

摘要

英语有一种词语搭配结构，两个词由and连接，表示一个完整的概念，叫作成对词，外国学者称之为“连体双胎”。英语成对词的搭配词序不是任意的、自主的、约定俗成的语言形式系统，而是概念化的现实的符号表达，体现了人们对现实世界的认知。英语成对词的词序规则反映了英美国家对现实世界的观察和看法。

本课题有助于理解英美国家的认知思维特征和方式，同时有助于揭示语言和认知的关系。本文将具体阐释英语成对词，也将运用认知视点理论进行研究，从认知视点中的空间视点、时间视点、心理视点和观念视点等方面出发描述和解释英语成对词的词序规则。

Abstract

English has a lexical collocation structure of which two words are connected by “and”, called paired words, or called “Siamese twins’. The word order of English paired words is not a random, independent and conventional language system but a conceptual and realistic symbol representation, which reflects people’s cognition about real world. The collocation word order of English paired words reflects the observation and views of western people about the real world,

This thesis contributes to the understanding of cognitive thinking mode and characteristics of English and American people, and also helps to reveal the relationship between language and cognition. This paper will explain English paired words specifically and use the theory of cognitive viewpoint, including space viewpoint, time viewpoint, psychological viewpoint and ideological viewpoint and so on, to describe and explain the rule of word order of lexical collocation in English paired words.

Key words: English paired words; word order of collocation; cognitive point of view
