从识解理论诠释隐喻识解操作及其语言认知功能

Metaphoric Construal Operation and Its Cognitive Functions in Language Acquisition from the Perspective of Construal Theory

判断/比较是人类最基本的4种认知能力之一,隐喻是判断/比较的识解表现方式之一。隐喻识解操作的基本条件是语义冲突,其认知理据是事物认知过程中的概念空缺。操作的基本方式是两个认知域在共享类属空间抽象结构的基础上,通过语义特征具有方向性的映射,最终整合成一个新的心理空间,获得对抽象事物或未知事物的识解。所引起的语义调和是隐喻识解操作所特有的,其他任何手段都无法达到,因而隐喻识解操作对语言习得具有独特的影响力。本文试以识解理论为框架,从隐喻识解的基本条件、基本方式、认知理据等视角探讨分析隐喻的识解操作过程,并揭示其对语言习得的独特影响。

Metaphor falls among the construal demonstrations of judgement/comparison which ranks as one of the four most fundamental cognitive abilities.Semantic con？ ict makes the basic condition of metaphoric construal,while conceptual vacancy is the cognitive motivation.The elementary operation model is displayed in the way of the directional mapping between two domains and the blending of a mental space,which operates on the basis of genric space.As the resulted semantic confection is unobtainable by any other means,the metaphorical contrual operation has unique in？ uences on language acquisition.
