身体动作与语义加工:具身隐喻的视角

概念隐喻理论认为个体建立基于身体经验的具体概念和抽象概念之间的隐喻联结是人类特有的认知方式。不管是具体概念还是抽象概念,只要有具身隐喻联结的概念,其语义的理解便会受到具身启动效应的影响。大脑在加工动词或者含动词的句子时,不仅激活了语言中枢和运动皮层,且大脑随着个体是否执行与语义相应的动作、抽象概念的熟悉程度和其文本背景是否符合等因素而激活不同的神经回路。本文将对以上研究进行梳理与分析,旨在从具身隐喻的视角为身体动作影响语义加工的神经机制模型提供初步的思路。

The Correlativity of Action and Sematic Processing:Perspect of Embodied Metaphor

Abstract:The embodied metaphor theory combines the embodied cognition theory and the conceptual metaphor theory.It is proposed that individual's metaphorical connection of concrete concepts and abstract concepts or advanced psychological processes related to physical experience is a unique way of human cognition.Whether it is a literal semantics or a metaphorical semantics or a verb-containing sentence as a stimulus material,the semantics process not only activates the brain's central and motor cortex,but also activates with different neural circuits through the implementation of semantic corresponding action,the familiarity of the concept and the consistency of the text background.In this paper,we will summarize and analyze the above fields' researches,aiming at providing a preliminary idea of the neural mechanism model of action effect of sematic processing by the metaphorical perspective.
