Abstract

The paper is an attempt to answer the question asked in Cognitive Semantics: Which experiential domain should be considered to be more fundamental or “ultimate”: space, an object or a human being? It is argued that they represent three domains of behaviour identified by archaeologists (the technical domain, the domain of social relations, and the natural history domain), and consequently are equally ultimate. It is also argued that the ability to project knowledge from one domain to the other was the crucial stage in the development of metaphor and abstract thinking, and that this ability (called cognitive fluidity or conceptual integration) was exapted from the physical to abstract domain.

认知语义学对终极源域的探索

这篇论文试图回答认知语义学中提出的问题:哪个经验领域应该被认为是更基本或“终极”的:空间、物体还是人?有人认为，它们代表了考古学家确定的三个行为领域(技术领域、社会关系领域和自然历史领域)，因此同样是终极的。也有人认为，将知识从一个领域投射到另一个领域的能力是隐喻和抽象思维发展的关键阶段，这种能力(称为认知流动性或概念整合)是从物理领域到抽象领域的期望。
