寓言类隐喻的映射问题

Projection of Parable-Type Metaphor

寓言具有隐喻的许多特征,可以称为寓言类隐喻。常规隐喻坚持实体本位,寓言类隐喻以事件为本位。寓言类隐喻的属性依附于空间事件,关系是空间事件之间的连接,知识以故事语篇为载体,逻辑推理所产生的知识是寓言的寓意。实体在常规隐喻与寓言类隐喻中地位不同,两类隐喻具有互相激活的可能。谚语是寓言类隐喻侧面化的产物,寓言的标题以子句形式存在,既体现了寓言的事件本位,也证明它的映射内容可以侧面化。

A parable embraces many features of a metaphor,hence parable-type metaphor. Regular metaphors stick to entity-ontology while parable-type metaphors claim event-ontology. Attributes of parable-type metaphors are attached to events in space,relations are connections of events in space,and knowledge takes as its vehicle the story text. Entities have different statuses in both types of metaphors. Both types of metaphors can activate the generation of each other. Proverbs are implicit parables when part of the latter＇s projection content is in profile. Titles of parables take the form of clauses which embody event-ontology of parables and the fact that part of its projection content can be in profile.
