概念转喻与话语连贯程度研究

On Conceptual Metonymy and Cohesive Force in Discourse

概念转喻作为人们说话、行为、思想的一种方式越来越受到学界的重视。本研究以Lakoff和Radden&Kovecses的研究为基础,旨在探讨话语中不同类型转喻对话语连贯的作用及其操作机制,并通过分析,阐释了转喻本体与喻体之间概念距离的大小与衔接力强弱和话语的连贯程度高低的关系。

As a way to speak, act and think, the study of metonymy has received a lot of attention. On the basis of studies by Lakoff and Radden ＆ Kovecses, this paper attempts to discuss the degrees of coherence of different categories of metonymies. In addition, this research makes an analysis of why different categories of metonymies make different degrees of coherent discourses. Through re- searches, the conclusion is drawn that the more distant the two conceptual entities are, the weaker discourse coherence is while the less distant the two conceptual entities are, the stronger discourse coherence is.
