論文：從認(rèn)知角度看英漢愛情概念隱喻

-.z隱喻論文：從認(rèn)知角度看英漢愛情概念隱喻【中文摘要】隱喻的研究源遠(yuǎn)流長。傳統(tǒng)修辭學(xué)歷來把隱喻當(dāng)作一種修辭手段。在最近二十幾年崛起的認(rèn)知語言學(xué)研究中,隱喻不再被看作是一種修辭手段,也不再被看作是一種簡單的語言產(chǎn)物,而被看作是人類的一種認(rèn)知現(xiàn)象,是人類借助語言而表現(xiàn)出來的思維方式和行為方式。哪里有語言,哪里就有隱喻。就其本質(zhì)來說隱喻是認(rèn)知的,是人類認(rèn)識和理解客觀世界的一種重要的認(rèn)知手段。認(rèn)知語言學(xué)認(rèn)為概念隱喻是通過一個事物(概念)來理解和體驗另一個事物(概念)。概念隱喻是根植于人的思維和行為中的東西；而語言使用中的隱喻表達(dá)是概念隱喻派生出來的。換言之,日常生活中大量使用的隱喻表達(dá)是概念隱喻在語言中的具體表現(xiàn)形式。概念隱喻是始源域到目標(biāo)域的映射,具有系統(tǒng)性,不對稱性等特征。情感是人類最普遍最重要的人生體驗,也是認(rèn)知語言學(xué)的重要組成局部。人的認(rèn)知和情感是相互作用的。研究人類的情感也是探索人類認(rèn)知的重要局部。情感是抽象的,是被概念化的隱喻。隱喻在情感的概念化過程中起著重要的作用。愛情是人類的一種特殊情感,愛情很抽象。沒有隱喻人類將無法準(zhǔn)確美妙地表達(dá)愛情。本文擬從認(rèn)知角度,對英漢愛情隱喻進(jìn)展研究分析。由于人類在思維模式和行為活動方面有很大相似性,這就決定了英漢兩種語言在表達(dá)愛情的概念隱喻上具有一樣之處,如愛情是旅途,愛情是戰(zhàn)爭等。但是由于受到不同的文化、哲學(xué)、**、生產(chǎn)方式的諸多因素的影響,英語和漢語在表達(dá)愛情概念隱喻上又有不同之處,例如英語當(dāng)中有愛情是商品這樣的表達(dá),而漢語當(dāng)中有愛情是月亮等表達(dá)。隱喻不僅是一種語言現(xiàn)象,更是人類的一種思維方式。本文通過對英漢兩種語言中愛情隱喻的比照分析,證實了英漢愛情概念隱喻具有認(rèn)知共性和文化相對性,同時也更好地驗證了當(dāng)代隱喻理論。希望本文能對跨文化交際和外語教學(xué)等學(xué)科有一定的啟示意義?！居⑽恼縏hestudyofmetaphorhasundergonealonghistory.Accordingtothetraditionalrhetoric,metaphorisregardedasakindofrhetoricorornamentaldevice.However,withtherisingofcognitivelinguisticsintherecenttwodecades,metaphoristreatedasanessentialmeansofthinkingandamoncognitivephenomenonwhichispervasiveandessentialinlanguageandthought.Wherethereislanguage,thereismetaphor.Inessence,metaphorisacognitivetool,bywhichhumanbeingsunderstandtheworldaroundthemselves.Incognitivelinguistics’view,conceptualmetaphorise*periencingandunderstandingonething(concept)intermsofanother.Conceptualmetaphorsaresomethinge*istingdeepinhumanthoughtandaction;whilelinguisticmetaphorsarederivedfrommetaphoricalconcepts.Inotherwords,thedailyusedlinguisticmetaphorsaretherealizationofconceptualmetaphors.Theworkingmechanismofconceptualmetaphoristhemappingfromthesourcedomaintothetargetdomain,whichischaracterizedbybeingsystematic,asymmetric,andsoon.Emotionisnotonlythemostomnipresentandimportante*perienceofhumanbeingsbutalsoavitalsubjectofcognitivelinguistics.Cognitionandemotionareinteractive.Theresearchofemotionisalsoanimportantpartofe*ploringhumancognition.Abstractthoughitwas,emotionisconceptualizedande*pressedinmetaphoricalterms.Metaphorplaysanimportantroleintheconceptualizationofemotions.Romanticloveismonlyregardedasakindofspecialemotionwhichisabstractandhardtodescribe.Withoutmetaphor,lovewouldbenotoriouslydifficulttopindown.Thisthesisisaparativestudyoflovemetaphorsfromthecognitiveperspective.Becauseoftheuniversalityinhuman’sthoughtandbehavior,therearesimilarloveconceptualmetaphorsinbothEnglishandChinese,suchasLOVEISAJOURNEY,LOVEISWARandsoon.However,influencedbyseparateculture,philosophy,religionandmodeofproduction,thetwolanguageshavetheiruniquewaystoconceptualizelove,suchasLOVEISMODITYinEnglishandLOVEISMOONinChinese.Metaphorisnotonlyalinguisticphenomenon,butalsoanessentialmodeofthinkingandbehavior.BasedontheparativestudyoflovemetaphorsinEnglishandChinesefromtheperspectiveofcognitivelinguistics,thisthesisfindsthatlovemetaphorsinthetwolanguagesbearthecharacteristicsofcognitiveuniversalityandculturalrelativity.Atthesametime,thecontemporarytheoryofmetaphorhasbeenwellsupportedbythisthesis.Atlast,theauthorhopesthatitisinstructivetofacilitateinterculturalmunicationandforeignlanguageteaching.【關(guān)鍵詞】隱喻概念隱喻認(rèn)知愛情文化【英文關(guān)鍵詞】Metaphorconceptualmetaphorcognitionloveculture【目錄】從認(rèn)知角度看英漢愛情概念隱喻
