摘要

长期以来王维(AD 701-761)田园诗歌中的意象是文学评论的焦点之一但以
前的研究大多都是从历史文化的角度出发过分地强调意象的情感功能将意象
视为一种叙事技巧在其田园诗歌中主要起到象征和暗示的作用而忽略了从认
知语言学角度去考察其田园诗歌中的意象的认知功能
图形-背景分离理论源于心理学后有认知语言学家用来研究语言结构的意义
尤其是介词的意义进而用来研究诗歌意象图形-背景分离原则虽是空间组织的
一个基本认知原则但也可用来研究文学作品尤其是诗歌意象因而也是诗歌
中意象组织的一个基本认知原则
本文在前人研究的基础上将王维田园诗中的主要意象归纳为四大类月亮
意象鸟意象空山意象和云意象运用图形-背景分离理论对于每类意象在诗
篇中的认知功能加以描绘并分析意象如何在同一诗歌文本中同其它意象发生互
动从而形成图形-背景分离模式并构成王维诗歌的以画入诗的整体布局
研究发现在王维的田园诗中意象不仅仅起到象征和暗示作用而且通过
激活读者大脑中先存的与意象有关的图式并与同一诗歌文本中的其它意象相关
联产生互动从而使读者从整体布局上理解意象的含义进而理解诗歌的主题

hints in the pastoral poetry from the historical and cultural perspective, but fail to
investigate the cognitive functions of the images from the perspective of cognitive
linguistics.
The figure-ground segregation theory derives from psychology and is used by
cognitive linguists to analyze the meaning of linguistic structures, that of prepositions in
particular, and further to analyze the poetic images. The principle of figure-ground
segregation is one of the basic cognitive principles according to which space is
organized, but it can be applied to literary works, especially the poetic images as well,
and it thus es a basic cognitive principle by which images anized in
poems.
Based on previous studies, the major images extracted from Wang’s pastoral poetry
are reduced to four general ones: the moon image, the bird image, the void mountain
image and the cloud image. For each image, their cognitive functions in the poems are
represented in terms of the segregation theory. The analysis will be done on ho
