RECONSTRUCTION OF LANGUAGE-MODEL IN THE CONCEPT OF CONTINUITY -FROM ASPECTS OF STUDIES ON GERMAN-

人类的语言是清晰而离散的，我们武断地划分了连续的世界。发音有两个方面。一种是分离事物，与离散性有关。另一个是对事物进行分组，这与连续性有关。连续性参与了分类的基本认知活动。我们不承认我们单独感知和体验的事物，而是通过提取共性和注意相似性将事物组织成群体。这种分类活动与概念化和意义形成有着密切的关系。聚在同一类别中的所有成员是不相等的。从被认为是原型到有问题原型的典型程度是有等级的。类别之间的界限并不明确。本文主要研究了以下几个问题：语法中的原型范畴；语篇中模糊限制语的出现与功能及物性中连词与能动性的语料库分析语言水平的变化；西弗里斯兰语与德语、荷兰语和英语的语法结构比较；通过对运动动词的分析对连续性的理论定位，以及对离散性作为语义功能原则的重新评价；词边界上语音融合的非线性音系分析情态词的句法关系与语义连续性语篇和语篇中的句法连贯和语义衔接。

Human language is articulated and discrete, and we arbitrarily divide the continuous world. Articulation has two aspects. One is to separate things and is relevant to discreteness. The other is to group things and is relevant to continuity. Continuity participates in the fundamental cognitive activity of categorization. We do not recognize things which we perceive and experience individually, but do organize things into groups by extracting generality and noticing similarities. This activity of categorization has close relationship with conceptualization and sense-making. All members gathered into the same category are not equivalent. There are gradations in the degree of typicality from the one considered prototype to questionable ones. Boundaries between categories are not clear. We have studied the following problems :prototype categories in syntax ; the appearance and function of hedge expressions in discourse ; corpus analysis of conjunctions and agentivity involved in tansitivity ; changes over language levels ; grammatical structures of West Frisian by comparison with German, Dutch and English ; the theoretical positioning of continuity by the analysis of movement verbs, and the revaluation of discreteness as the principle of semantic functions ; nonlinear-phonological analysis of sound-fusion in the word boundary ; the syntactic relation and semantic continuity of modal words ; syntactic coherence and semantic cohesion in text and discourse.
