Critical Cognitive Linguistics, also known as Cognitive Linguistic Critical bet365 offers Studies,CL-CDS)。Follow the words、The interaction between cognition and society,is a multidisciplinary research field that has emerged in the past ten years。A growing body of research shows,Critical cognitive linguistics has taken shape,Including the UK、United States、A lot of attention from scholars in Europe and China,The development momentum cannot be underestimated。

  Theoretical views are compatible

Critical Cognitive Linguistics,As the name suggests,It is critical bet365 offers analysis,Or the intersection of critical bet365 offers studies and cognitive linguistics in a broader sense。This integration can be traced to two aspects: critical bet365 offers analysis scholars’ criticism of the traditional research scope and methods,and cognitive linguists’ increasing attention to the social factors of language use。In this process,Influential scholars include Van Dyck (T. A. Van Dijk)、Widdowson (H. G. Widdowson)、O'Halloran (K. O’Halloran)、Chilton(P. Chilton)、Lakoff (G. Lakoff)、Charterrice Black (J. Charteris-Black)、Hart (C. Hart)、Keep (P. Cap) etc.。But,Their method of critical bet365 offers analysis is relatively simple,The research horizon is relatively narrow,The conclusion is subjective,Of course they also try to introduce new research perspectives、Research methods and research tools。Van Dijk introduced the concept of cognition into ideological analysis in 1998;Lakoff used the cognitive metaphor theory he founded in 1996,Analysis of the cognitive basis of the political bet365 offers of the American Republican and Democratic parties;In 2005, Chilton proposed that cognition is a missing link in critical bet365 offers analysis,And constructed the theory of bet365 offers space accordingly;Hart proposed the term cognitive linguistics critical bet365 offers research in 2013,And gradually introduce the psychological research paradigm,Opened the "experimental turn" in criticizing cognitive linguistics。

Criticizing the compatibility of theoretical perspectives in cognitive linguistics stems from its interdisciplinary nature。Cognitive linguistics research began in the 1970s,Formed in the early 1990s,It is a "movement" or "method" that studies language from a cognitive perspective。The main characteristics of cognitive linguistics are reflected in five theoretical assumptions,That is, embodied cognition、Encyclopedic Semantics、Meaning is conceptualization、Symbolic and usage-based assumptions。The basic idea behind these assumptions is that most of the conceptual systems on which language depends arise from the interaction of our bodies with the physical world,Or the experience we gain from observation。In bet365 offers,Words and constructions serve as cues that evoke a range of conceptual structures,Recruit background knowledge stored in long-term memory,Thus producing an inter-subjectively shared mental representation。

Critical bet365 offers analysis mainly focuses on the relationship between language and society。Critical bet365 offers analysis does not criticize other theories and methods of bet365 offers analysis,Rather, it criticizes social relations established through bet365 offers。The purpose of critical bet365 offers analysis is to discover problematic attributes of discursive practices。Therefore,Critical bet365 offers analysis is essentially language、A shared perspective on semiotic and bet365 offers analysis。

As a fusion of two research fields,Critical cognitive linguistic research involves both the hidden dominance of language、Discrimination、Structural relationships of power and control,Also explores language as symbol、Conceptual、The representation and function of embodied symbols in bet365 offers。In a nutshell,Critical cognitive linguistics explores the process by which people understand the cognitive-symbols contained in utterances,And the role of these cognitive-symbols in the process of constructing the legalization of knowledge and behavior。But,Different from other critical bet365 offers studies (except Van Dyck’s study),Criticize cognitive linguistics for emphasizing the conceptual nature of meaning construction,Focus on the use of language and the associated conceptual structures it gives rise to,And further extends to the ideological or legitimizing functions assumed by these conceptual structures in the bet365 offers context。The ultimate goal is to simulate the conceptualization evoked by specific language usage,To reveal the ideological and (de)legitimating potential of these conceptualizations。Criticizing the rise of cognitive linguistics reflects the “social turn” in cognitive linguistics research,On the other hand, it also reflects the “cognitive turn” in critical bet365 offers research。

 bet365 offers perspectives are diverse

The diversity of research perspectives in critical cognitive linguistics is mainly reflected in the research objects、Theoretical basis、Diversity of interpretation perspectives。First,Critical cognitive linguistics breaks critical bet365 offers analysis’s almost exclusive focus on political bet365 offers,Expand the research object to environmental bet365 offers、disease bet365 offers、Corporate bet365 offers、Diverse bet365 offers categories such as crisis bet365 offers。

Next,Various perspectives and theories in cognitive linguistics provide a set of “tools” for critical bet365 offers analysis,Picture theory、Psychological Space、Conceptual Metaphor Theory、Chapter World Theory、Cognitive Grammar,As well as theories and concepts such as cognitive poetics。These individual tools,Or a combination of several,All can become a research perspective。

AGAIN,The interpretive perspective of critical cognitive linguistics includes both language production,Also promotes language understanding and acceptance。Traditional critical bet365 offers research,Contains early critical cognitive linguistics research,Mostly based on the perspective of language production,Focus on how bet365 offers producers construct bet365 offers、How to achieve the expected cognitive-pragmatic effect。This largely ignores the perception and acceptance of bet365 offers consumers。Research in recent years shows that,Criticize cognitive linguistics for no longer sticking to the perspective of language production,Turn to the basis of qualitative analysis of bet365 offers construction strategies,Study on the cognitive rules of readers in understanding and accepting bet365 offers and its impact,Exploring the lack of “interpretative diversity” in critical bet365 offers analysis。Although there are currently very few studies from this perspective,But it’s not hard to see,The perspective of bet365 offers understanding and acceptance has become the benchmark for critical cognitive linguistics research。This is not only the result of scholars’ long-term criticism of excessive emphasis on the process of bet365 offers construction,It is also a response to the call for mutual verification research methods,It is the other side of the coin of critical bet365 offers analysis that cannot be ignored。

  bet365 offers methods are mutually valid

Criticizing cognitive linguistics for advocating the use of triangulation,Emphasize the use of multiple methods in analysis,Multiple verification of results through converging evidence。Triangulation makes analysis and interpretation more objective in critical bet365 offers analysis、Reasonable。Critical cognitive linguistics’ mutual corroboration research methods mainly include corpus-assisted analysis、Ethnography、Questionnaire survey, etc.。

among them,Corpus is an early empirical method introduced into critical cognitive linguistics,The research field is mainly in critical metaphor analysis。"Metaphor Identification Program" (MIPVU) and "Metaphor Scenario Analysis" (Metaphor Scenario Analysis) are important results of research in this area。Also,Proximization theory combines corpus and bet365 offers space theory,Study the cognitive pragmatic-rhetorical effects of bet365 offers production,Also received more attention。Critical bet365 offers research with existing ethnographic methods,Mainly focuses on the ideological process of language control and bet365 offers production of news bet365 offers institutions。

Questionnaire survey belongs to the experimental paradigm of psychology,Plays an important role in the study of language understanding and reception perspectives in critical cognitive linguistics。The main person who conducted bet365 offers in this area is British scholar Hart。Although there are only a handful of such studies,But it pioneered a way to criticize the triangular mutual confirmation paradigm of cognitive linguistics。

  The development trend is scalable

Critical cognitive linguistics is an emerging multidisciplinary research field,Therefore,In the process of gradual improvement and development,Research trends have obvious scalability。The type of bet365 offers currently criticized in cognitive linguistics research is mainly news bet365 offers、Political bet365 offers、Institutional bet365 offers、Environmental bet365 offers, etc.,With the integration of cognitive linguistics and literary research,Stockwell (P, one of the founders of cognitive poetics. Stockwell’s concepts of “texture” and “resonance”,It also provides a new interpretation perspective and theoretical support for readers’ reflections on the bet365 offers。Then,Predictable,Ideology and social cognitive models hidden in literary texts,Especially literary texts reflecting inequality and discrimination,It will also naturally enter the research field of critical cognitive linguistics。

Also,Continuously enriching cognitive linguistics research methods,such as eye tracker、EEG、Application of multifunctional near-infrared spectrometer and other online language processing monitoring tools,It will also benefit critical cognitive linguistics’ research on the online processing mechanism of bet365 offers perception and response。This will definitely further promote the “discursive consumer turn” and “experimental turn” in research。The latter is also an echo of the "hybrid mind" emphasized by the third wave of cognitive science。American philosopher Rowlands (M. Rowlands) pointed out in the book The New Science of the Mind: From Extended Mind to Embodied Phenomenology,“Hybrid Mind” means the human mind is the brain、Amalgamated products of body and environment。This inspires criticism that cognitive linguistics research can draw on psychological and neuroscience experiments,Expand to human cognition、Thinking、The interactive relationship between emotions and social institutions and social systems。At the same time,In terms of research methods,The latest research shows,Adopt the analytical framework of listening to readers’ feedback,Think-aloud method、Introspective Speech Report、Eye movement and other psychological research paradigms examine language induced in a controlled environment,Discuss the reader’s perception of the credibility (ethos) of the speaker and writer,The process of interpreting the logic of the text (logos) and the emotions (pathos) evoked by the reader in the comprehension of the bet365 offers,Will be able to improve the level of "triangular argument" in critical bet365 offers research。

What is worthy of attention,Localization research will also enter the field of critical cognitive linguistics research。There are currently a small number of relevant empirical and experimental studies,Almost all the language categories studied belong to the Indo-European language family,A small amount of research involves differences in Chinese and English representations of bet365 offers about the same event。The absence of critical cognitive linguistic research on Chinese bet365 offers,Localization research will add “Chinese voices” to the critical cognitive linguistics community,At the same time, it will also contribute to enriching and promoting the development of the entire research field。
