Cognitive Linguistics And A Cognitive Study Of

Cognitive linguistics is a new linguistic school in recent twenty years. It advocates interpreting language from a cognitive perspective and has quite an effect in linguistics studies abroad. Cognitive linguistics has become a dark horse in linguistic studies. Especially in the aspect of polysemy study, the cognitive linguistic theory remedies a lot of language problems which the traditional linguistic theory can not reasonably interpret.In recent years, cognitive linguistics has drawn wide attention by domestic language scholars. Because cognitive linguistics is the important guiding theory and research method of this paper, so correlational study of the main theory of cognitive linguistics at first will be conductive to better cognitive study of 「テ」Secondly, this paper combs the previous studies on the auxiliary word 「テ」 and point out their problem points and the research methods of this paper. By virtue of etymology knowledge combined with cognitive linguistic theories, the semantic diversity of Japanese auxiliary word 「テ」 is studied. Prototype semanteme of the auxiliary word 「テ」 is to express action or event venues, and other meanings are derived from the expansion of the prototype "venue" semanteme through metaphor and other cognitive patterns. The cognitive mechanism for semantic diversity generation of auxiliary word「テ」is discussed.Then, the compound form of the " noun+テ+verb" is discussed by using the study results of the previous chapter. Semantic features of the noun and verb in the compound form are investigated respectively.Finally, the conclusion is drawn by summarizing the previous study contents. It is proposed that those parts not involved in this paper or incomplete will be further studied as topics in future.
