2、re in the middle of the 1970s based on his by now classic example,the commercial event frame.框架这一概念由 Charles Fillmore于20世纪70年代中期引入的语言学，它的基础是“商务事件”框架。第2页/共76页An example of BUYAD第3页/共76页The Frame of BUY Mary bought some books from John for 500 dollors.some booksB(goods)A(buyer)Mary C(money)500 dollors

3、D(seller)John第4页/共76页Frame and perspectiveThe assignment of syntactic roles is governed by the choice of the verb buy,which is the syntactic perspective.The notion of perspective relies on the principle of prominence,that is on figure/ground segregation.The BUY frame is not just a useful tool for th

14、4页/共76页From frames to scripts:flying on a planeThe relevence of frames extends over the boundaries of single sentences to much larger linguistic and congnitive units.The following little story:Sue caught a plane from London to Madrid.After she had found her seat she checked whether the life vest was

17、at frames are designed and it is by the same categories that they are activated.Categories is to provide“default assignments”by supplying context-dependent prototypes.From frames to scripts:flying on a plane第17页/共76页All these expectations that are based on our experience and stored in our long-term

18、memory are part of the frame-system and influence our ability to produce and understand the language related to it.所有这些基于我们的经验并储存在长期记忆中的预期都是框架系统的组成部分，并且影响我们产生和理解与之有关的语言的能力。From frames to scripts:flying on a plane第18页/共76页From frames to scripts:flying on a plane第19页/共76页TheFLYING ON A PLANE frame has

19、 so far been presented as if it were a motley collection of categories.A flight exhibits a very predictable temporal structure in which one stage is often a prerequisite for the next stage.Viewing the flight from such a sequential perspective,we go beyond simple frames and move into the scripts,i.e.

22、ne of the restaurant scripts第22页/共76页Although we are all familiar with the information stored in scripts,when we produce or listen to language we unconsciously fill in an incredible amount of information taken from frames and scripts.eg.John went into a restaurant.He asked the waitress for coq au vi

23、n.He paind the bill and left.Without supplying this information we would certainly not be able to understand even the most simple pieces of discourse.eg.John went into a restaurant.He saw a waitress.He got up and went home.第23页/共76页5.2 Event-frames and the windowing of attentionFrames can provide va

24、luable tools for the linguistic and conceptual analysis of situations like buying and selling,or having a meal in a restaurant.The notion of frame can be extended to describe more general situations,such as event chains linked by temporal sequences or causation.第24页/共76页The information provided by t

25、he frame is still fairly specific.For example:the everyday practices of paying by credit card.However,the frame would not be valid at all in culture where goods are traded for other goods rather than sold for money.Therefore,frames are cognitive structures that are context-and-culture-dependent.第25页

26、/共76页The question is the notion of frame:1)is restricted to certain contexts and culturesor 2)can be conceieved of as being a much more basic cognitive phenomenon that underlines a wide variety of real-world situations and is shared by all human beings.Such a universalist-cognitive line of research

28、ption,the three components,FIGURE,GROUND and PATH are crucial for a cognitive description of a motion event.Step further,MOTION can be regarded as a fourth component of motion event.In addition to the conceptual component moving,fly,in the sentence A ballon flew over the house,also describes the way

29、 or MANNER of the movement,and this may be regarded as the fifth component to the structure of a motion event.第28页/共76页For a motion event to take place,something must have caused the moving object to start moving or stay in motion.This CAUSE element can be an inportant factor in the conceptualizatio

45、my claimed that many events involving causation should be treated as a complex sequences of more elementary stages and subevents.eg.John broke the window(with a stone).1.The agent decides that hes going to break the window.2.He bends hid knees,moves his hand to ground to grasp a stonr,straightens up
