摘要:: 为研究语义范畴构建的意向性，通过对认知语言学范畴化的相关研究发展回顾以及心智哲学意向性的概念厘清，利用案例分析与比较论证研究法，以心智哲学的意向性为基本工具，重点探讨认知语言学中范畴化的意向性问题。研究发现，认知语言学认为范畴化是人类认知和概念化的结果，而人类有意向性的认知是具有普遍性的；从事物的多维性来考察，范畴化不但遵从了意向性的选择，而且在意向性的“利己”“方便”关照下，在范畴层次的构建中，功能维度较为凸显；认知语言学研究的基本层次范畴、上位范畴和下位范畴，能够满足人们日常生活交流活动的需要，所以语言表达中选择世俗范畴化，而摒弃科学范畴化，其实也体现了某种意向性。

Abstract:: To explore the intensionality of categorization, after the literature review on categorization and the introduction of intentionality, with case analysis and comparison,the intentionality in categorization is discussed from three aspects. The conclusions are that categorization is the result of human cognition and conceptualization in term of cognitive linguistics and the intentional cognition is universal; from the perspective of multidimension of objects, categorization follows the intentional choice and for the construction of category, the dimension of function is dominant due to the guide of selfcare and convenience; basic, superordinate and subordinate categories can satisfy the routine communication of human beings, so layman categorization is preferred over scientific categorization, which is, in fact, intentional.
