5、量不多,但词义丰富,搭配灵活,使用复杂,因而成为词汇 习得的难点之一。传统介词教学以例句呈现和机械记忆为主要手段,忽略介词各 义项之间的语义联系,致使教学效果不够理想;而认知语言学从认知过程来解读 介词的多义现象及其语义关联,把英语介词习得与教学推向一个新阶段。本研究 基于 Evans 的词汇概念和认知模型理论 ( Lexical Concepts and Cognitive Models, LCCM), 以意象图式和概念隐喻理论为辅,尝试将 LCCM 应用于中国大学生的 英语介词习得,以验证其应用于英语介 词习得的可行性与有效性。 本研究拟回答以下三个问题: 1)相对于传统教学法,基于 LC

However, English preposit

Traditional linguistics neglects the sense relation of prepositions. Directed by this view, the traditional in

Cognitive linguists investigate the polysemy and the sense relation of prepositions from the perspective o

This study is conducted on the basis of Lexical Concepts and Cognitive Models (LCCM) Theory proposed by Evans (2009), and is also theoretically supported by the theory of Image Schema and

The study attempts to apply the LCCM Theory on Chinese college students acquisition of English prepositions with the purpose of investigating the effectiveness and the feasibility of LCCM-based instruction of English prepositions. This study intends to answer these two question
12、s: 1) Compared with the traditional instruction, can the LCCM-based instruction improve college students acquisition of English prepositions? 2) Can the LCCM-based instruction prolong college students retention ofEnglish prepositions? The target forms of this study are IN, ON, and AT which are highl
