转喻词语识别的语境制约

Contextual constraints on metonymy recognition

本文分析如何从句法、语义以及认知突显方面识别转喻词语,进而探讨转喻识别的语境制约。作者认为,转喻的认知特征是通过千变万化的动态语境因素实现的,语境不但制约转喻的创设,而且也制约转喻的识别和理解,人们以转喻词语为参照点、以语境为依据来实现转喻的认知语用解读。

Based on the analysis of syntactic and semantic aspects and the cognitive salience in metonymy recognition,this paper explores the constraint and impact of contextual flexibility on metonymy.The authors hold that metony^my recognition is achieved from dynamic context.The general cognitive features of metonymy are displayed by means of changeable context.Context not only affects the generation of metonymy but also influences the recognition of metonymy.This paper argues that metonymy can be recognized with the metonymic expression taken as a reference point and the specific context as the background information.
