摘　　要：认知语言学认为,语法构造从内在属性上说是服务于建构语义内容的,对所有语言单位的释义以及对所有语言表达方式的评价都与语境有关。因此,我们谈论语法时显然不能离开语义。对诸如"city的复数形式—citys"、"fly的过去式与过去分词—flied"、"人身代词的反身形式ourself和themself"、"反身代词与人称代词的选择"以及"car和cat的不可数名词用法"等语言单位进行讨论,以进一步佐证语法对语境的依赖性。Cognitive linguistics posits that grammatical constructions inherently serve to structure semantic contents, and that all linguistic units are defined, and all linguistic expressions assessed, relative to some context. Therefore, we cannot speak of grammar in isolation from meaning. In this paper, we shall discuss the linguistic units such as ＂citys-the plural form of city＂, ＂flied-the past tense and past participle of fly＂, ＂the reflexive pronouns ＇ ourself＇ and ＇ themself＇ ＂, ＂ the choice between reflexive pronouns and personal pronouns＂, and ＂car and cat used as mass nouns＂ to expound the context -dependent nature of grammaticality.
