“时—空隐喻”评析

Typological Study of TIME IS SPACE Metaphor

从理论建设、语言事实描写和非语言证据等方面评析国内外"时—空隐喻"研究现状,认为存在三个问题:一是就某一种语言进行系统研究的不多,二是较全面地就此专题进行研究的不多,三是与国内少数民族语进行深入对比研究的不多。文章最后强调指出,中国少数民族语言宝库亟需得到国际学界的关注。

There exist three problems in TIME IS SPACE metaphor study on the analysis of the cognitive theories,the involved languages and the cognitive psychology： few systematic researches in a language,still fewer thorough ones if any,and far fewer researches on minority languages.Therefore,studies on Chinese minority languages should be given due international attention since the minority languages in China are a treasure to be dug out.
