古典诗词中有关“愁”的隐喻

Metaphor of "chou"(Sorrowfulness) in the Ancient Chinese Classical Poetry

本文以认知语言学的隐喻理论为指导,采用语料分析的方法,考察了古典诗词中描写"愁"的诗句,发现数目众多的描写"愁"的诗句实际上可以归纳为为数不多的隐喻概念,这些隐喻概念一方面表明隐喻植根于我们的身体经验,体现了隐喻思维的普遍性,同时也表现出鲜明的民族文化特征。

Guided with the cognitive metaphor theory, this paper has conducted a research on the metaphor of ＂chou＂ （sorrowfulness） in the ancient Chinese classical poetries. After a corpus analysis of the expressions of ＂ chou＂ （sorrowfulness） in the poems, we find that the descriptions of the large number of ＂chou＂ （sorrowfulness） can be indeed summed up as a few conceptual metaphors. On one hand, these metaphors show that the conceptual metaphors root in the experience of our bodies, reflecting the universality of metaphors; on the other hand, they show distinct features of national cultures.
