On the relationship between cognitive linguistics and functional linguistics
Abstract:
This talk aims to explore some aspects of the relationship between two major strands in current linguistics, viz cognitive linguistics and functional linguistics. The talk consists of two parts. The first part will offer a general overview and a comparison of the most important features and properties of cognitive linguistics and functional linguistics, in an attempt to get to a better understanding of what both strands share and how they differ.
The second part will be devoted to a more detailed analysis of one specific but very crucial issue which appears to divide the two strands, more than anything else, viz the question of the difference between a constructionist approach to grammar, common in cognitive linguistics, and what may be called a processual approach to grammar, common in functional linguistics.

内容简介:
Tense-Aspect-Modality in language and conceptualization: a cognitive-functional perspective
Abstract:
This talk will have both an empirical and a theoretical goal.
The empirical goal is to inquire into the structure and organization of the system of 'tense-aspect-modality marking' in language. What are the categories constituting this system? How are they organized? What are the principles behind the system? The speech will be dealing in fairly general terms with the system as a whole, and some more detail with problems in one subdomain of the system, viz the semantic categories traditionally covered under the label 'modality', and some related categories. At the theoretical level, the speech will be dealing with issues pertaining to the organization of the cognitive systems involved in language use, including, most notably, the question of the relations between the system for language processing per se, and the conceptual system, which is responsible for storing and processing our knowledge of the world. In this regards, the speech will specifically argue for what the speech call a cognitive-functional approach, in the other words an approach which steers a midway between traditional functional approaches and the more recent cognitive linguistic approach in current linguistics.
