“给力”与省力:论隐喻的经济原则

"Gelivable" and Least Effort: On Metaphor Economic Principles

隐喻从认知角度而言是思维方式。一方面,为了准确,它包含着冗余信息;另一方面,出于人性的惰性,它体现了经济原则。隐喻的形成机制从创造到死喻,是费力到省力的过程。

From a cognitive standpoint,metaphor is a way of thinking.On the one hand,in order to accurately,it contains redundant information.On the other hand,proceed from human inertia,it reflects the economic principles.From creation to dead metaphor,metaphor formation mechanism is the way from hard sledding to least effort.
