专家简介:

Dirk Geeraerts is professor of linguistics and head of department of linguistics at the University of Leuven. His main research interests involve the overlapping fields of lexical semantics, lexicology, and lexicography, with a specific focus on social variation and diachronic change. As a former president of the International Cognitive Linguistics Association and the founder of the journalCognitive Linguistics, he played an important role in the international expansion of Cognitive Linguistics. He is one of the two editors ofThe Oxford Handbook of Cognitive Linguistics. Since 2005, he is managing editor of Mouton de Gruyter’sCognitive Linguistics Researchseries. 

讲座内容简介:

This talk describes the evolution of 20th and 21st century linguistics in terms of three main theoretical periods: structuralist, generativist, and functional-cognitive. I will argue that the transition from structuralism to generativism involves a process of decontextualisation of the grammar, in the sense that the ideal of a formal, autonomous grammar cuts off grammatical description from the social context of language variation, the discursive context of language use, and the cognitive context of meaning and experience. This decontextualisation trend takes a more specific form in a set of oppositions, with form taking precedence over function and meaning, syntax over lexicon, the linguistic system over language use, innateness over interactive acquisition, universality over language variation, symbolic modelling over probabilistic description, and introspection over empirical observation. Next, by focusing on Cognitive Linguistics, I will show how these preferences are reversed in the cognitive-functional framework. Finally, I will argue that the succession between decontextualising and recontextualising approaches needs to be seen in a broader historical context: that of the evolution of cognitive science on the one hand, and that of 19th century linguistics on the other.
