关于日语专业高年级学习者隐喻能力发展现状的考察

Research on the Current Development Situation of Metaphorical Competence among Advanced Japanese Major Students

应用认知语言学研究起步于英语教育,现在也逐步发展到了日语教育领域。但在当前的日语教育研究中,因概念隐喻理论的发展而日益受到重视的隐喻能力的研究还很少见。本文自行设计了1份日语隐喻能力测试试卷,并用其考察了日语专业高年级学习者的隐喻能力发展现状。结果表明:(1)高年级学习者的整体隐喻能力还有待进一步提高;(2)高年级学习者在日语隐喻表现的产出能力上个体差异较大;(3)高年级学习者的日语隐喻表现理解能力和产出能力之间存在弱正相关性。

The research on Applied Cognitive Linguistics originated from English education, and is now advocated in Japanese education. With the development of Conceptual Metaphor Theory, metaphorical competence （MC） has been paid more attention, but there is a lack of study on MC in the field of Japanese education. In this paper, a Japanese MC test was designed and used to analyze the current development situation of advanced Japanese learners＇ MC. The results showed 3 points. （1）The comprehensive MC of advanced Japanese learners needs to be improved. （2）Advanced Japanese learners＇ individual difference on the ability to produce Japanese metaphoric expressions is relatively large. （3）There is a weak positive relationship between the comprehension and production of Japanese metaphoric expressions.
