Abstract

The article extends the study of frames in verbal media discourse. We mobilize insights from linguistic semantics and research in the related fields of cognitive science in order to formulate a frame-semantic understanding of frames as adaptive networks of meaning. It allows us to see frames as flexible scaffoldings whose elements are controlled by contextual configurations. This extension is helpful, we argue, because analyses of public discourse have, to date, mainly operated with a model of frames as fixed ensembles. Understanding frames not as invariant clusters but as adaptive networks has implications for empirical studies, too. Consequently, we outline the applicability of our proposition in an analytical scenario.

媒介框架作为自适应意义网络:一个概念性命题

本文对言语媒介语篇中的框架研究进行了拓展。我们从语言语义学和认知科学相关领域的研究中获得见解，以便制定框架作为自适应意义网络的框架-语义理解。它允许我们将框架视为灵活的脚手架，其元素由上下文配置控制。我们认为，这种扩展是有帮助的，因为到目前为止，对公共话语的分析主要是用框架作为固定集合的模型来操作的。将框架理解为自适应网络而不是不变的集群，对实证研究也有意义。因此，我们概述了我们的命题在分析场景中的适用性。

期刊介绍： This journal is unique in that it provides a forum devoted to the interdisciplinary study of language and communication. The investigation of language and its communicational functions is treated as a concern shared in common by those working in applied linguistics, child development, cultural studies, discourse analysis, intellectual history, legal studies, language evolution, linguistic anthropology, linguistics, philosophy, the politics of language, pragmatics, psychology, rhetoric, semiotics, and sociolinguistics. The journal invites contributions which explore the implications of current research for establishing common theoretical frameworks within which findings from different areas of study may be accommodated and interrelated. By focusing attention on the many ways in which language is integrated with other forms of communicational activity and interactional behaviour, it is intended to encourage approaches to the study of language and communication which are not restricted by existing disciplinary boundaries.
