语言中的空间概念:分类的描述、形式和实验研究

Les entités spatiales dans la langue : étude descriptive, formelle et expérimentale de la catégorisation

Michel Aurnague, Maya Hickmann, Laure Vieu

摘要:

以往语言学和心理语言学对空间的研究主要是分析空间关系,而本文的研究则侧重于语言如何区分空间实体。描述性和实验性研究首先提出了一种实体分类,它既能解释静态空间又能解释动态空间,具有一定的跨语言效度,是成年人认知加工的基础。然后,形式和计算分析引入旨在对这些类别进行建模的理论元素,同时满足形式本体论的各种属性(一般性,简约性,连贯性......)。这个正式的框架帐户,特别是,功能依赖实体之间的一些部分-整体的描述。最后,发展研究表明,语言的特定属性对儿童谈论空间的方式有明显的影响。结果表明,一些跨语言的儿童的空间表征从早期开始的变化,使一般的认知能力是空间认知的唯一决定因素,在发展过程中的问题模型。

英文摘要:

While previous linguistic and psycholinguistic research on space has mainly analyzed spatial relations, the studies reported in this paper focus on how language distinguishes among spatial entities. Descriptive and experimental studies first propose a classification of entities, which accounts for both static and dynamic space, has some cross-linguistic validity, and underlies adults' cognitive processing. Formal and computational analyses then introduce theoretical elements aiming at modelling these categories, while fulfilling various properties of formal ontologies (generality, parsimony, coherence...). This formal framework accounts, in particular, for functional dependences among entities underlying some part-whole descriptions. Finally, developmental research shows that language-specific properties have a clear impact on how children talk about space. The results suggest some cross-linguistic variability in children's spatial representations from an early age onwards, bringing into question models in which general cognitive capacities are the only determinants of spatial cognition during the course of development.
