隐喻理论对对外汉语词汇教学的启示

The Role of Metaphor in Helping TCFL Vocabulary Teaching

G.Lakoff的＂概念隐喻理论＂是20年来认知语言学研究的热点之一,隐喻研究也从传统的修辞学和语义学方向开始向认知语言学方向转变。人们对隐喻的认识不再只停留在修辞学层面,而是将隐喻现象提升到思维方式的高度。这些认识促进了认知语言学的整体发展,也促进了隐喻的跨学科研究。文章以认知语言学隐喻理论为基础,结合教学实践,探讨隐喻在对外汉语词汇教学中的作用,并提出基于隐喻的教学建议。

G. Lakoff＇s conceptual metaphor has been a research focus in cognitive linguistics, which has resulted in the transition from the traditional rhetoric and semantics to cognitive linguistics. As a result, the study of metaphor has turned to the thinking modes, and this in turn has promoted the comprehensive development of cognitive linguistics and its related interdisciplinary studies. This paper adopts the metaphor theory of cognitive linguistics to explore the role of metaphor in helping TCFL, and finally brings up some teaching suggestions.
