原型范畴理论下“2020年十大流行语”的语义分析
Semantic Analysis of the “Top Ten Buzzwords in 2020” under Prototype Category Theory

作为语言系统中的新兴成员，网络流行语是当下最能表现时代特色以及当代人生活状况和心理诉求的言语模式。认知语言学中的原型范畴理论，通过语言中的原型范畴实例论证语言是人类认知的有机组成部分，是人类认知过程中对事物进行范畴化的表征。基于该理论，对中国语言杂志《咬文嚼字》评选出的“2020年十大流行语”进行研讨，从网络流行语基本范畴的意义引申探讨其语义演变的认知过程及其中反映的语言学价值和社会意义。
As an emerging member of the language system, network buzzwords are the speech mode that can best represent the time characteristics, the living conditions and psychological demands of contemporary people. The archetypal category theory in cognitive linguistics demonstrates that language is an organic part of human cognition and a categorization representation of things in the process of human cognition through the examples of archetypal categories in language. Based on this theory, this paper discusses the “Top Ten Buzzwords of 2020” selected by the Chinese language magazine, Quibble, and explores the cognitive process of the semantic evolution of network buzzwords and the linguistic value and social significance reflected in it from the meaning of the basic category.
