隐喻解读中概念合成的认知机制研究

A Cognitive Study of Conceptual Integration in Metaphorical Interpretation

与概念隐喻理论相比较,概念合成理论对隐喻具有更强的解读力,但它仍无法对隐喻解读中概念合成空间中新显结构产生的原因给一个令人了然的解答;而Veat ch的V-N理论似乎可以补其不足,对合成空间中新显结构产生的原因给予较好的说明。因此,作者对隐喻解读中概念合成的认知机制研究做出了新的思考,提出了一个新的隐喻解读模式。

Compared with conceptual metaphor theory, conceptual integration is powerful in terms of metaphorical interpretation; however, conceptual integration cannot offer satisfactory solutions to the appearance of emergent structure in the mental processing of metaphorical interpretation whereas V-N theory advocated by Veatch can do. On the basis of cognitive interpretation of metaphor by means of conceptual integration, the author suggests a new model for metaphorical interpretation.
