A Study on the Representation Theory of Linguistic Culturology

Paper Keywords: structural characteristics of representation theory

Abstract: Linguistic culturology is a product since 1990s and an important continuation of western literary theory. After decades of development, it has formed its own theoretical system, which bears the material culture and spiritual culture of human beings, especially the development of image theory. Its characteristics and structure have a new interpretation of literature, art and culture, especially in the field of literature and culture, the stereotype of literary modeling and the imitation of artistic facts to real life.

From the very beginning, Linguistic Culturology adhered to the concept of "text" in humanistic thought, respected the particularity of national culture, and explained the inner nature, nationality and nature of culture. Representation and knowledge have more regional characteristics of ethnic groups, so the study of representation theory can reflect a nation's emotional tendency, self-literature, art and other development and unique thinking characteristics.

I. Overview of Representation Theory

This article is about appearance, which is more national than knowledge. Its unique representation theory and research method are of great significance to express its unique national psychological characteristics.

The word "representation" was not invented by linguistics and culturology, and it has its origins in ancient times. Aristotle in ancient Greece once put forward? Concept comes from appearance? And then what? The soul can't think without appearance? Viewpoint; The imagery thinking in China's traditional culture is mainly manifested in the Book of Changes, among which? Elephant? More of an image. Where did Zhouyi learn it? Harmony between man and nature? This paper expounds the origin of the world and the essence of things through different images from the perspective of holism.

Philosophy holds that representation is the impression that objective things remain in the brain memory, which is caused by external stimuli. Psychology believes that whether stimulated or not, the image of perceiving things formed in the mind exists in people's consciousness. In other words, appearance plays a great role in life, which has penetrated into our thinking and unconsciously influenced our activities. At the same time, appearance also has a strong national tendency and thinking characteristics. Therefore, in linguistics and culturology, reproduction is more important for the study of national culture. Therefore, the study of representation theory of linguistic culturology plays an irreplaceable role in international cultural exchanges.

Second, the characteristics and classification of representation

1.

Representation in linguistic culturology is different from representation in general sense, including images and concepts and their related meaning attributes. It can be seen that the representation of linguistic culturology category is highly subjective, which can be collective or individual. Representation structure has a greater impact on our lives than ever before, especially the unique images provided by multimedia network technology. Its structure brings us intuitive excitement and sensibility and makes the public feel happy. In other words, in a wider range of national cultural exchanges, images explore national thinking and spiritual world by studying the characteristics of national language and culture, and serve international cultural exchanges.

2. Appearance classification

Representation can be divided into collective representation and individual representation, because representation has duality, it can be individual or collective, which is the unique individuality and super-individuality of representation. As far as individuals are concerned, each individual has a different individual representation, and from the perspective of the national culture to which the individual belongs, it is bound to accept the * * * representation of the nation inherited by this cultural identity, that is, the collective representation. The research on the difference between the two existed before linguistics and culturology: some regard collective consciousness as a common belief and emotional system passed down from generation to generation by members of society, on the basis of which groups can produce * * * songs; Some people think it is a special form of cognition, right? General idea? The content, function and reproduction of knowledge in Chinese are restricted by society; Some people think that social representation is a social phenomenon, not a cognitive phenomenon, but a multi-level behavior, thought and value system.

Third, the structure of representation.

As can be seen from the above, collective representation is the focus of language and culture research, so it generally refers to collective representation in representation theory. In the structural system of collective representation, there are mainly precedent phenomena, stereotypes, artistic facts and ghosts and gods.

1. precedent phenomenon

? Precedent? Or? Precedent? , refers to? Existing examples? Or? Examples that can be quoted or referenced by future generations? . Linguistic terms? Precedent? That's basically what it means, indicating? Existing examples for future generations to quote and refer to? .

As a representation, precedent phenomenon naturally has the characteristics of representation, but it also has its uniqueness. As a precedent phenomenon, there are several conditions: it is super-individual, in which it is familiar with the language and culture of its own nation and common sense knowledge, at least knowing the existence of these phenomena; On the cognitive level, this phenomenon exists in reality; This phenomenon often appears in the language of a certain ethnic and cultural group, with national symbols.

Precedent phenomenon has its own prototype and singularity, that is, the precedent phenomenon of the same nation has the same prototype image, evaluation orientation and accompanying significance. Precedent phenomenon is very extensive, which can be various texts of verbal thinking activities or non-verbal painting buildings. The theory of linguistic culturology mainly studies the phenomenon of linguistic precedent, which is divided into precedent names, precedent examples, precedent scenarios and precedent texts according to the characteristics of language units themselves. China's four famous literary works, their titles, story lines and important figures are always mentioned by later generations. These texts have become symbols of China culture and have a precedent status.

Complete design

Stereotype, as a complex phenomenon, can be discussed from sociology, psychology, cognitive science, linguistics, ethnopsychology and ethnolinguistics, among which sociology is the most studied. Sociologists believe that stereotype is based on certain national spiritual needs and cultural motives, and it is a pattern related to racial behavior. It reflects the language symbol of a certain nationality or social group for a certain demand, reflects the social demand, and has the individual consciousness in the process of socialization.

As a representation, convention has two main forms: scene and representation. The former is behavioral stereotype, while the latter is representational stereotype. Therefore, stereotypes can be divided into situational stereotypes and image stereotypes. Situational stereotypes, such as queuing, traffic, exams, etc. Image stereotype can be divided into animal and plant stereotype, human stereotype, professional stereotype, social stereotype and human stereotype according to different fields of things. Linguistic culturology mainly focuses on behavioral stereotypes and image stereotypes that reflect national culture, such as traditional customs and habits in national behavioral stereotypes. In reality, some behavioral stereotypes still focus on planting crops in rural areas, and there are also many behaviors in weddings. Image stereotype focuses on more animal images. For example, in western literature, sheep refers to a group that is stupid, stubborn or obedient to fate, while bears refer to clumsy, uneducated, simple-minded and well-developed representatives. As can be seen from the above, stereotypes and precedent phenomena are basically similar, and both have national symbols, which are the manifestations of national culture and the subjective reflection of the object reality.

3. Artistic facts

Artistic fact is an imitation of reality, which can be regarded as the second reality, usually people or things in works of art such as literature. It has a certain sense of national identity and is also of great significance to culture. Artistic facts can be divided into two categories: their counterparts in real life and potential world, and the second artistic world, all of which can appear in literary works. The former takes the mirror as an example. On the one hand, it has objective attributes and exists in people's daily life. On the other hand, in self-legends, myths or literary works, the mirror is endowed with magical power. It can know the ancient times and look forward to the future. This is an artistic fact in the comparison of pre-realistic mirrors. The latter is an artistic fact that only exists in the secondary reality, such as the Beacon Wheel of Prince Nezha, Journey to the West, and Gankun Circle. These things that are not in reality only exist in the potential art world.

4. Ghosts and gods

Ghosts and gods are not prototypes and lack uniqueness. They exist in various images. For example, the ghosts and gods in western ancient Greek culture and ancient Roman culture are different due to different regions and nationalities. Ghosts and gods and precedent phenomena are at the two ends of the prototype and uniqueness scale, which have completely opposite bipolar nature.
