转喻在古汉字造字表词方法中的运用例说——整体的部分与部分之间的转喻

Application of Metonymy in the Creation and Expression of the Ancient Chinese Characters——Metonymy Between the Part of the Whole and the Part

认知语言学有关转喻的理论可用来分析古汉字造字表词的方法,由此得出了整体的部分与部分之间转喻的几种形式,如"工具转喻法、因果转喻法、容纳转喻法"等。从认知角度探索古汉字造字表词的方法,可以从宏观上了解先人的造字思维,把握古文字的造字规律,为古汉字的释读提供新鲜的也许是更为科学的思路。

The metonymy theory of the cognitive linguistics can be used to analyze the ways of creating and expressing the ancient Chinese characters,from which several forms of metonymies between the part and the part of the whole,such as ＂tool metonymy,cause-effect metonymy and container metonymy＂,can be concluded.By exploring the creating methods of ancient Chinese characters from cognitive perspective,we can learn our ancestors＇ thinking of creating characters from macro point of view,grasp of the rules of creating ancient Chinese characters,and provide a fresh and perhaps more scientific way of thinking for the interpretation of the ancient Chinese characters.
