存在句是語(yǔ)言中普遍存在的語(yǔ)言現(xiàn)象。從語(yǔ)法的角度看,存在句是一種特殊而復(fù)雜的句式。然而它的語(yǔ)義本質(zhì)的限制性和語(yǔ)用性,引起了眾多語(yǔ)言學(xué)家的興趣。并且已取得很多成果。英語(yǔ)存在句的句法研究一直是學(xué)界探討的焦點(diǎn),存在句最常見的結(jié)構(gòu)是:There+be+NP+locative expression(+temporal expression),表示某處有某人或某物。在語(yǔ)言學(xué)界的研究史上,描寫語(yǔ)言學(xué)、生成語(yǔ)言學(xué)和功能語(yǔ)言學(xué)都曾對(duì)這一語(yǔ)言現(xiàn)象There-be句型進(jìn)行過深入的研究�；谝郧皩W(xué)者的大量研究,該論文以存在句的隱喻性拓展為切入點(diǎn),基于構(gòu)式語(yǔ)法理論把There-be存在句置于構(gòu)式語(yǔ)法的框架下,采用認(rèn)知語(yǔ)言學(xué)的范疇化,概念隱喻和意象圖式等理論,來揭示There-be構(gòu)式隱喻拓展的動(dòng)因和機(jī)制。關(guān)于There-be構(gòu)式隱喻拓展動(dòng)因的研究,本文主要從三方面來研究:第一方面是基于體驗(yàn)性認(rèn)知,概念結(jié)構(gòu)來自于人類的身體體驗(yàn),there-be構(gòu)式也不例外,人們不僅能體驗(yàn)到它的基本意義也能體驗(yàn)到它的隱喻意義;第二方面是基于本體隱喻,認(rèn)知主體可以在想象思維的支配下,將沒有明確邊界的非物理實(shí)體識(shí)解為具體的物理實(shí)體,其背...
