英语语气隐喻及其使用——兼与范文芳博士商榷

在系统功能语言学的框架下,语法隐喻可分为概念语法隐喻、人际语法隐喻和语篇语法隐喻。人际语法隐喻又可分为语气语法隐喻和情态语法隐喻。本文旨在研究语气语法隐喻,主要是对范文芳(2000)提出的判定语气隐喻的标准提出质疑,从而对语气隐喻的判定标准重新进行了界定,并探讨了语气隐喻的使用问题。

Under the systemic-functional framework, grammatical metaphor （GM） is divided into ideational GM, interpersonal GM and textual GM, among which interpersonal GM is further divided into metaphors of mood and metaphors of modality. The aim of this article is to have a research into metaphors of mood. After introducing metaphors of mood, the author throws doubt on the ways of its judgment that Fan Wenfang （2000） puts forward, thus revising the ways to judge metaphors of mood. The article also probes into the use of metaphors of mood.
