| 词条 | Mentalist postulate |
| 释义 |
The mentalist postulate is the thesis that meaning in natural language is an information structure that is mentally encoded by human beings. It is a basic premise of some branches of cognitive semantics. Semantic theories implicitly or explicitly incorporating the mentalist postulate include force dynamics and conceptual semantics. Two implications of the mentalist postulate are: first, that research on the nature of mental representations can serve to constrain or enrich semantic theories; and secondly, that results of semantic theories bear directly on the nature of human conceptualization.[1] References1. ^{{cite book |title=Meaning and mental representations |chapter=Conceptual Semantics |authorlink=Ray Jackendoff |last=Jackendoff |first=Ray |editor=Umberto Eco |editor2=Marco Santambrogio |editor3=Patrizia Violi |pages=81–97 |year=1988 |publisher=Indiana University Press |isbn=978-0-253-33724-5 }} {{Ling-stub}} 2 : Cognitive linguistics|Semantics |
