摘　　要：空间认知始于格式塔心理学的图形背景理论。该理论认为,在特定的知觉范围内,某些知觉对象轮廓分明,凸显为图形;而某些知觉对象轮廓则不那么明显,呈现为背景。Talmy率先将图形背景理论运用于认知语言学;Langacker使用"射体"与"界标"术语来表达与Talmy相同的意义;Levinson把空间表征参照系分为内在、相对和绝对3种以推动空间认知研究的进程。本文尝试运用Talmy图形背景理论、Levinson空间参照三分说及心智哲学中的意向性理论阐释空间认知的语言与心智表征,旨在拓展空间认知研究的范畴及视域。Spatial cognition originates from the figure-ground theory of Gestalt psychology. The theory assumes that in a specific field of view, some objects viewed indicate distinct outlines serving as figures, while some objects viewed show less distinct outlines serving as ground. Talmy is the first figure to apply the theory into Cognitive Linguistics. Langacker uses the terms ＂projector＂ and ＂landmark＂ to describe the same meaning as Talmy does. Levinson divides spatial frames of reference into 3 categories ： intrinsic frame of reference, relative frame of reference and absolute frame of reference in order to speed up the procedure in spatial cognition. This article attempts to use Talmy＇s figure-ground theory, Levinson＇s frames of reference and intentionality derived from philosophy of mind to elucidate the spatial cognitive representations of language and mind. Its main purpose is to extend the discipline or field in research of spatial cognition.
