摘要

摘要本研究探讨了广泛的英语词汇表达背后的词根形式的语义。这个词根从一个表示“棍棒”的简单名词演变为表达棍棒状物体的运动和直升机叶片的旋转。这些语义扩展是通过源中目标和目标中源的转喻产生的。利用认知语言学，特别是转喻理论，提供了一种简明扼要地描述该词根所表达的意义范围的方法。关注转喻意义扩展的结果也为解决Dene语言历史上的问题开辟了道路。本研究有助于增加认知语言学方法的类型范围，并论证了该理论在解决Dene语言学问题方面的有用性。

From ‘clubs’ to ‘clocks’: lexical semantic extensions in Dene languages

Abstract This study examines the semantics of a root form underlying a wide range of Dene lexical expressions. The root evolved from a simple nominal denoting “club” to expressions lexicalizing the movement of stick-like objects and the rotation of helicopter blades. These semantic extensions arise through source-in-target and target-in-source metonymies. Drawing on Cognitive Linguistics, especially the theory of metonymy, offers a method of describing the range of meanings expressed by this root in a concise manner. Focusing on the results of metonymic meaning extensions also opens the way to addressing questions in the history of Dene languages. This study contributes to increasing the typological scope of Cognitive Linguistic approaches and argues for the usefulness of the theory in addressing problems in Dene linguistics.

期刊介绍： Cognitive Linguistics presents a forum for linguistic research of all kinds on the interaction between language and cognition. The journal focuses on language as an instrument for organizing, processing and conveying information. Cognitive Linguistics is a peer-reviewed journal of international scope and seeks to publish only works that represent a significant advancement to the theory or methods of cognitive linguistics, or that present an unknown or understudied phenomenon. Topics the structural characteristics of natural language categorization (such as prototypicality, cognitive models, metaphor, and imagery); the functional principles of linguistic organization, as illustrated by iconicity; the conceptual interface between syntax and semantics; the experiential background of language-in-use, including the cultural background; the relationship between language and thought, including matters of universality and language specificity.
