隐喻之于转喻吗?——以映射为视点

Does Metaphor Derive from Metonymy?——From the Viewpoint of Mapping

随着认知语言学在20个世纪80年代以来的迅速发展,相关研究课题似乎一夜之间成了耀眼的"明星",目前的隐喻研究也不例外。虽有众多学者认为隐喻是不同域之间映射的结果,但这些域之间是如何映射的,有待深入研究。本文试图从映射角度考察隐喻之于转喻问题,即考察部分映射、选择性映射和映射识解,然后将其与转喻特征比较,以揭示后者是前者建构不可或缺的前提,更为基础。

With the rapid development of cognitive linguistics in the 1980s, the research topics concerned seem to have become a ＇ star＇ overnight, like metaphor at present. Many scholars argue that metaphor is based on the mapping across different domains, but how it is mapped is not paid enough attention. Thus, from the viewpoint of mapping, this paper attempts to focus on how metaphor derives from metonymy, i.e. on partial mapping, selection mapping and mapping eonstrual, and then compare it with the typical features of metonymy in order to uncover the fact that the latter is the indispensable prerequisite of the former, and more fundamental.
