摘要
本文是一项关于概念隐喻解释的实验研究报告。该研究首先要求71名大学生对3组概念隐喻进行解释,然后根据Riding(1991)使用的认知风格测量工具,将参试者的认知风格分为"综合/分析"维度和"言语化/形象化"维度两类。实验结果表明,参试者在解释隐喻时优先采用的策略反映出认知风格的差异:(a)"综合型"的人比"分析型"的人更容易把源域和目标域概念进行整合;(b)"形象化"的人比"言语化"的人更容易使用典型意象来解释隐喻。

The results of the experiment revealed cognitive style variables in participants＇ preferred strategies to explain the metaphors target domain with the source domain, the metaphors. （ a ） ＂holistic thinkers＂ were more likely than ＂analytic thinkers＂ to blend their conception of the and （ b ） ＂imagers＂ were more likely than ＂verbalizers＂ to refer to stereotypical images to explain
