概念整合理论对歇后语的阐释

Explaining the Two-part Allegorical Sayings through the Theory of Conceptual Blending

歇后语是汉语中较常见也很独特的一种语言表达方式。在日常生活对话和文学作品中,这种表达方式屡见不鲜。概念整合理论是近些年才兴起的认知语言学理论,此文试图通过概念整合理论来分析歇后语的表达。运用概念整合理论,歇后语的文字这一输入空间和人类认知常识的认知空间相结合和相互作用能更好的被人们所认知。而且这种分析可以清楚地再现人类的认知机构是如何理解语言现象的,也有助于我们更好地认识人类对语言理解的认知心理过程。

Two-Part Allegorical Sayings are common but unique in Chinese language. This kind of expression is always noticed in the daily conversations and literary works. As the theory of conceptual blending is a relative new theory in Cognitive Linguistics during these years, the author tries to explain the Allegorical Sayings from this point. Only in this way, can the combination and interaction of input of words in Allegorical Sayings and the input of common sense be cognized. And the analysis in this paper can clearly clarify how humans understand the language phenomenon, which can help people learn the psychological process of cognition of language understanding.
