本論文主旨為:在認知語義學的觀照下,以字義的結構面及過程面的交互作用為 中心,在語言過程適切性的限制下,建構字義模型。在本文的漸進式研究程序中,首先檢驗 並系統化處理 L.S. Vygotsky 所創辦的文化歷史學派有關字義的結構面的看法, 其次檢驗 該學派內部語言( Internal speech )提法中有關字義過程面的部份、 以及另類實證基礎 :S. Small 所發展的語義型電腦模擬式 Word Expert Parser。又因晚近語義學的發展,本 論文結合 Katz/Fodor 的語義學與原型語義學,更且針對導入有實踐結構主義語義學或原型 語義學、因而能把人工智慧研究中的知識呈現向前推進的諸多電腦模擬模式,依據字義的結 構面及過程面的交互作用之有效性,加以分析、評估。為保證書寫語言之了解程序,本研究 結果建議必備之四類字義成份分別為:(1)字的外延( denotative )意義,(2)字的 範疇( categorial )意義, (3)相互關係中的意義及(4)各釋義( reading )之間 的網狀聯繫與釋義分類。
In the light of cognitive semantics and from the viewpoint of the interaction between the structural and the procedural aspects, the present paper aims at modeling the meaning of the words under constraints of the adequacy of the language processing. At first, the paper systematizes the Vygotsky's Cultural-Historical School in regard to the structural aspect of the word meaning. As to the procedural aspect, this article exaims secondly the thesis of the inner speech of this school and, as an alternative, the semantic computer simulation model Word Expert Parser of Small. On account of the development in the semantics, the semantic theory of Katz/Fodor and the prototype semantics are thirdly synthesized. Furthermore, the computer simulation models which have implemented the structuralist or prototype semantics and thus promoted the knowledge representation in AI research were discussed and evaluated according to the efficacy of the models in respect of the interaction between the structural and the procedural aspects of the word meaning. Finally, the article suggests following four meaing components assuring the understanding process of the written language: (1) the denotative meaning, (2) the categorical meaning, (3) the relational meaning and (4) the grouping and the network connection between the readings.
