Did You Know?
When liminal first appeared in written use, it referred to something (such as a physical stimulus) which was just barely perceptible, or just barely capable of eliciting a response. This meaning is still in use today in constructions like "liminal auditory stimuli." The word comes from the noun limen, which refers to the point at which a physiological or psychological effect begins to be produced. In its most common extended meaning now, it describes a state, place, or condition of transition, as in “the liminal zone between sleep and wakefulness.” The closely related word subliminal means “below a threshold”; it can describe something inadequate to produce a sensation or something operating below a threshold of consciousness.
當(dāng) liminal 首次出現(xiàn)在書面時 , 它指的是幾乎無法察覺或幾乎無法引起反應(yīng)的事物(例如物理刺激) 。這個含義今天仍在使用 , 如“l(fā)iminal auditory stimuli「閾限聽覺刺激」” 。這個詞來自名詞 limen , 指的是生理影響或心理效應(yīng)開始產(chǎn)生的點 。在現(xiàn)在最常見的擴展含義中 , 它描述了一種狀態(tài)、地點或過渡條件 , 如“the liminal zone between sleep and wakefulness「睡眠和清醒之間的界限」” 。與之密切相關(guān)的詞 subliminal 的意思是“below a threshold「低于閾值」”; 它可以描述不足以產(chǎn)生感覺的東西或低于意識閾值的東西 ?!?br />
