“原型理论”对传统的范畴理论提出了挑战,给语义的解释提供了新的研究思路。《范畴与模糊语义研究》(陈维振、吴世雄,2002)一书正是基于语言是认知的一部分、意义是身体经验的产物等认知语言学的基本观点,将认知语言学中的“原型理论”引入模糊语义学研究的一个例子。该书从范畴的本质入手,研究语言的模糊性。该书详细阐述了从认知语言学、哲学和逻辑学三个领域将语言的模糊性置于认知过程去研究的现实性。本文对该书作了全面评述。笔者认为该书是用认知方法对语义进行深入研究的一个典范。
“Prototype Theory ” challenged the traditional category theory and provided a new way of thinking for semantic interpretation. The book “Categories and Fuzzy Semantics” (Chen Weizhen, Wu Shixiong, 2002) is a basic view of cognitive linguistics based on the fact that language is a part of cognition and meaning is a product of body experience. Cognitive linguistics “ Prototype Theory ”introduces an example of fuzzy semantics. The book starts with the nature of the category and studies the ambiguity of the language. The book elaborates on the practicality of placing the ambiguity of the language in the cognitive process in the three areas of cognitive linguistics, philosophy and logic. This article made a comprehensive review of the book. I think the book is a model for further research on semantics using cognitive methods.
