摘要
本文考察体现在古代和现代汉语中的"土"概念背后的概念借代和概念隐喻,是我们对五行概念背后的认知机制所做的系列研究的一部分。语料分析显示,古汉语中的"土"背后存在概念借代"土代土的特征"、"土代土制品"、"土代土地"、"土代一定的地域"及"土代测量土地",和概念隐喻"具有土的特征的事物/现象是土"、"一定地域内的事物/现象/人是土"、"人是土"、"土地神是土"及"历运更替是五行更替";现代汉语中的"土"背后存在概念借代"土代土地"和"土代一定的地域",以及概念隐喻"具有土的特征的事物/现象是土"、"一定地域内的事物/现象/人是土"、"不合潮流是土"、"文化是土壤"和"世界是土地"。古今中国人对"土"的认知机制所经历的发展变化折射出五行哲学思想体系对古代和现代中国的影响力的改变。
A series of studies of the cognitive mechanisms behind the five elements shui ‘Water’, huo ‘Fire’, mu ‘Wood’, jin ‘Metal’ and tu ‘Earth’ have been done.as an integral part, this paper focuses on tu ‘Earth’. Data analyses show that the construction of the semantic network of earth in ancient Chinese is dominated by conceptual metonymies earth for its features, earth for products from earth, earth for land, earth for region and earth for measuring land, and by conceptual metaphors a(n) phenomenon/object with features of earth is earth, a(n) person/object/phenomenon within a region is earth, human being is earth, god of land is earth and replacement of dynasties is replacement of the five elements. The network of earth in modern Chinese is built by metonymies earth for land and earth for rejion, and by metaphors a(n) phenomenon/object with features of earth is earth, a(n) person/object/phenomenon within a region is earth, being out of fashion is earth, culture is earth and world is earth. Changes of the cognitive networks of earth through history reflect the weakening of the influence of the five elements theory.
