大多数空间的语言和认知表征依赖于参照系(FoRs)。我们表明,FoRs发挥同样重要的作用,在表示实体的方向和表示他们的位置和方向的运动。我们提出,方向是概念编码,而不是在隐喻的路径功能(Jackendoff 1983),但在。配备了向量的概念,我们引入了两类FoRs之间的区别:经典的“角锚定”FoRs和以前未被认可的“头锚定”FoRs。在英语中,角度锚定的相对FoRs在方位和方位描述中占主导地位。相比之下,在墨西哥的两种土著语言Seri和Yucatec中,以物体为中心的角度锚定FoRs在方位描述中占主导地位,但头部锚定FoRs在方位描述中占主导地位。
Most linguistic and cognitive representations of space depend on frames of reference (FoRs). We show that FoRs play an equally important role in representations of the orientation of entities and representations of their location and direction of motion. We propose that orientation is conceptually encoded, not in terms of metaphorical path functions (Jackendoff 1983), but in terms of. Equipped with the notion of vectors, we introduce a distinction between two classes of FoRs: classical “angular-anchored” FoRs and the previously unrecognised “head-anchored” FoRs. In English, angular-anchored relative FoRs dominate in both locative and orientation descriptions. In contrast, in Seri and Yucatec, two indigenous languages of Mexico, object-centred angular-anchored FoRs dominate in locative descriptions, but head-anchored FoRs dominate in orientation descriptions.
