英汉母语者时间认知与语言相关性研究：萨丕尔.沃尔夫假说多任务实验检验（英文）

　　萨丕尔·沃尔夫假说是一个关于语言、文化和思维之间关系的假说。该假说中所蕴含的理念是对启蒙主义时期“语言—思维”观（思维与语言是两个不同过程，且前者完全制约后者）的反拔。本书采用新沃尔夫主义者的研究范式，以英汉母语者为实验对象，在时间领域对该假说进行了检验。实验结果表明：两组被试的时间认知既有共性，也存在显著差异；已有时间认知模型对英汉母语者时间认知图式的描述存在偏差；人类时间认知的形成基于一个复杂的经验基础网络，作为这个网络的组成部分，语言因素确会影响人脑中时间表征的形成。 本书可作为认知语言学实证研究领域的参考用书。
