摘　　要：基于认知语法的突显原则,利用BNC语料库,探讨英语介词界标的隐现规律,并重点分析界标隐形的认知机制。研究显示,界标具有较高可预测性时能隐;语义表达不需要强调事件发生的参照点时界标可隐;典型静态介词的界标可隐;动介词组的射体、界标同一时界标必隐;界标自身性质为专供人类活动的场所且不是专名时界标可隐;语用层面的强调句型里介词界标不可隐。总之,英语介词界标隐现规律既受到语境、语义因素的深刻影响,又受到包括语境在内的语用因素的影响,但语用的影响是有限的。Based on the salience principle in Cognitive Grammar, and with the help of BNC corpus, this paper attempts to explore the cognitive mechanism of covert landmarks of English prepositions. The landmark becomes covert when the LM is predictable; the reference point of an event need not be emphasized; the preposition is typically a stative one; the trajector and landmark coincide; the landmark itself is a ＂human-only＂ location but not a proper name; the landmark is not the stressed element in an emphatic structure. In a word, contextual and semantic factors play a vital role in the mechanism of covert landmarks of prepositions in English. Meanwhile, the pragmatic factor also plays a limited part.
