认知、隐喻和语义

Cognition,Metaphor and Semantics

认知语言学认为,和其他认知领域一样,语义结构反映了人们在与现实接触的经验中形成的心理范畴,来源于语言使用者的认知思维.隐喻作为一种重要的认知手段,对语言的更新和发展起着十分重要的作用.把隐喻性的认知机制运用到语言学习之中,可提高理解和使用语言的能力.

Cognitive linguistics holds that the semantic structure, along with other cognitive domains, reflects the mental categories which people have formed from their experience in the real world, originating from the cognitive thinking of language users. As one of the crucial cognitive methods, metaphor plays an important role in the revolution of language. To employ the metaphorical cognitive mechanism in language learning can largely contribute to language comprehension and application.
