象似性是指语言形式(包括口语和手语)的性质与意义之间的相似性,传统上被认为是一种边缘的、与我们理解语言的过程、发展和演变无关的现象。相反,语言的任意性和象征性长期以来一直被视为人类语言系统的设计特征。在本文中,我们提出了另一个框架,即面对面交流(口语和手语)中的象似性是连接语言和人类感觉-运动经验的有力工具,因此象似性为理解语言的演变、发展和加工提供了一把钥匙。在语言进化中,象似性可能在建立置换(语言超越当下事物的能力)方面发挥了关键作用,这是语言所做的事情的核心;在个体发生中,象似性可能在支持指称性(学会将语言标签映射到世界上的物体、事件等)方面发挥关键作用,而指称是词汇发展的核心。最后,在语言处理中,象似性可以提供一种机制来解释语言是如何具体化的(植根于我们的感觉和运动系统),这是有意义的交流的核心。
Iconicity, a resemblance between properties of linguistic form (both in spoken and signed languages) and meaning, has traditionally been considered to be a marginal, irrelevant phenomenon for our understanding of language processing, development and evolution. Rather, the arbitrary and symbolic nature of language has long been taken as a design feature of the human linguistic system. In this paper, we propose an alternative framework in which iconicity in face-to-face communication (spoken and signed) is a powerful vehicle for bridging between language and human sensori-motor experience, and, as such, iconicity provides a key to understanding language evolution, development and processing. In language evolution, iconicity might have played a key role in establishingdisplacement(the ability of language to refer beyond what is immediately present), which is core to what language does; in ontogenesis, iconicity might play a critical role in supportingreferentiality(learning to map linguistic labels to objects, events, etc., in the world), which is core to vocabulary development. Finally, in language processing, iconicity could provide a mechanism to account for how language comes to beembodied(grounded in our sensory and motor systems), which is core to meaningful communication.
