隐喻在专门词语词义泛化中的作用

The Effect of Metaphor in the Non-specialization of the Acceptation of Technical Terms

专门词语词义泛化是固有词语衍生新义的一个主要来源,通过对专门词语词义泛化动态过程的分析,揭示隐喻在其中的重要作用。首先,隐喻通过对相似性的发现和把握,找到词义泛化的生发点,引起泛化现象的发生;其次,隐喻使两个不同的语义领域进行互动,最终促成泛化义的形成。

The non-specialization of the technical terms is an important method for concrete words to produce new meaning. In the progress, the metaphor runs an important role. Firstly, through the metaphor, we can find the ＂starting point＂ in the non-specialization of the acceptation of the technical terms; secondly, through the association of comparability and by using the technical terms into the non-professional field, people achieve the non-specialization of acceptation.
