“现在完成体之谜”的认知语言学阐释 = A cognitive linguistic approach to “the present perfect puzzle” / 陈敏哲(CHEN Minzhe).
// Foreign language teaching and research 2016, Vol 48, N.2 p176-p187 Current theories of the perfect aspect of English verbs cannot offer a systematic solution to"the present perfect puzzle".Based on the Conceptual Blending Theory,this paper argues that the grammatical meaning of the present perfect aspect of English verbs results from the conceptualblending of the perfect aspect and the present tense.In the present perfect aspect,the speech time is used as telic,the aspectuality of an action or state expressed by a verb with its arguments is construed as bounded and the reoccurrence of the so-construed action or state is presupposed.This forms the unmarked grammatical meaning of the present perfect aspect.By contrast,if an action or state expressed by a verb with its arguments is continuous and unbounded,but is obligatorily construed as bounded in the present perfect aspect,the action or state,due to its internal homogeneity,can extend along the time axis into the future as the speech time moves on,provided that there is an ostensive context,e.g.,the adverbial of durable time.This forms the marked grammatical meaning of the present perfect aspect.The nutcracker of solving"the present perfect puzzle"is the understanding that when a verb in its perfect aspect is used with an adverbial of specific past time,the action or state expressed by the verb will become definite instead of generic.The present tense of English verbs requires the recurrence of a bounded action or state;however,a definite action or state can never logically repeat itself,for violating otherwise the law of identity.Consequently,that the present perfect aspect in English cannot be used with an adverbial of specific past time is accounted for
