摘要
时间的空间隐喻表征主要基于两个隐喻系统 :“时间在动”隐喻系统和“自我在动”隐喻系统。这两种隐喻系统表示“前”、“后”的顺序是不同的。本研究通过对基于这两类隐喻系统的时间语句的实时在线加工的考察 ,发现人们在对时间关系作推断时 ,的确出现了从空间向时间的范畴映现 ,从而表明了时间的空间操作的心理真实性 ,为隐喻认知基础的心理现实性提供了证据。
The spatial metaphoric representation of time mainly consists of two metaphoric systems “time_moving metaphor system” and “ego_moving metaphor system”. These two systems lead to different assignments of FRONT/BACK terms to a time_line. This research, using sentences based on the two systems, examines subjects' reaction time in an on_line comprehension task. The result indicates that the subjects did construct domain_mapping between space and time, which proves the psychological reality of space time mapping and thus provides evidence that the cognitive basis of metaphor is psychologically real.
