二语写作中的母语隐喻迁移研究

Research on Second Language Writing from the Perspective of Metaphor Transfer of Native Language

母语迁移是影响二语习得的一个重要的内在因素。随着交叉学科的迅速发展,特别是认知语言学的兴起,从认知角度研究语言迁移现象成为二语习得领域的焦点。学习者在进行二语学习之前建立的母语隐喻系统,将影响到他们的二语习得。本研究从认知角度探讨了隐喻理论及迁移理论的最新发展动态,认为母语隐喻迁移是造成二语写作不地道现象的首要原因,对其进行系统研究符合二语习得研究的发展趋势,对提高二语写作水平将会产生积极作用。

Native language transfer has always been an important issue in SLA research and also an important intrinsic factor influencing SLA.With the rapid development of interdisciplines,linguists and researchers try to explore language transfer from the perspective of cognitive linguistics and it has become the focus of SLA.Chinese learners generally begin to learn English on the basis of fully mastering their native language,and therefore it is inevitable for them to be influenced by the metaphorical system of the native language.The present study explores the latest development of metaphor theory and the theory of language transfer from the perspective of cognitive linguistics and concludes that metaphor transfer of native language is the most important reason for the unnaturalness in the second language writing.This research satisfies the trend of SLA development and will benefit second language writing and second language teaching as well.
