摘　　要：基于词源学理论视角,英语-er类言说方式动词词尾-er在形态上不是通常所认为的后缀,而是一种语音象征现象,表达“屡次,反复,一再”等抽象意义或图式意义。-er类言说方式动词词尾-er是口头话语中有声停顿er投射的结果,有其认知体验基础。而且,言说方式动词突显言说方式,因而在使用方面会受到认知语用限制。An etymological investigation discovers that the ending-er in quite a few English speech manner verbs,contrary to what is commonly believed to be a suffix,is in actual fact a phenomenon of sound symbolism in nature,conveying a“frequentative”meaning.-er is cognitive-experientially based,for it is a projection from er,which is the most frequently used“filled pause”in spoken English discourse.The salient function of a speech manner verb is to highlight a manner of speaking,and is therefore cognitively constrained in use.
