The exploration of preschool children's metaphoric competence

以3-7岁的学龄前儿童为研究对象,通过研究得出以下结论:3、4岁的儿童可以理解和产出"无生命的物体是人"这一结构隐喻,可以理解始源域是运动概念的隐喻,也可以理解感知隐喻,这说明学龄前儿童可以辩别不同事物的物理相似性。本研究还发现,5岁的学龄前儿童已有简单类推能力。学龄前儿童对隐喻的理解和产出也反映了隐喻理解的主观性和隐喻的体验性。

Through the research of the children ranging in age from 3 to 4 years, this paper concludes that children ranging in age from 3 to 4 years can comprehend and produce the following structural metaphor - inanimate objects are human beings, and they also have the ability to comprehend motion metaphors and perceptual metaphors, which shows that they can distinguish the physical similarities of different objects. 5 - year - old children have the ability of simple analogy. The preschool children＇s metaphoric competence also manifests the subjectivity of metaphor comprehension and the bodily experience of metaphors.
