认知图式作为后经典叙述学之一的认知叙述学的重要概念,从认知的角度研究接收者对文本的解读,可分为世界图式、文本图式和语言图式。从认知图式的角度重新定义隐合作者:隐合作者要同时具有文本时空和接收者时空的世界图式,而且要具有解释社群时空能够共享的文本图式和语言图式。这个定义将厘清布思对隐含作者定义的含混之处,也能对当今隐合作者的新变化予以阐释。
Cognitive schema as an important concept of Post classical narratology, could be divided into world schema, text schema and language schema. Cognitive schema theory could interpret the text from cognitive perspective. Implied author could be redefined from the Cognitive schema: Implied author must contain world schema of text space-time and receivers' space-time at the same time, and contain text schema and language schema the interpretative communities could share with. This definition could clarify the ambiguity of Wayne Booth's definition, and explain the current changes of Implied author.
