摘要
本研究通过分析119名英语专业二年级学生作文中使用的关于外语学习的隐喻,对学生的外语学习观念进行了探讨。研究发现,学生使用的隐喻可以分为六类:技能类、历程类、培育类、消化类、交流类和建筑类。这些隐喻表明学生对外语学习持有积极观念,这些观念既反映了二语学习的本质和特点,也体现了学生的个人学习和生活经历,在一定程度上也反映了隐喻的文化特性。
In this study, metaphors used by 119 second-year English majors in their compositions have been collected in order to explore their beliefs about foreign language learning. The metaphors the students used can be divided into six categories: skill learning metaphors, path experiencing metaphors, nurturing metaphors, digesting metaphors, communicating metaphors and building metaphors. These metaphors show that the students have generally positive beliefs about foreign language learn- ing. Their beliefs reflect the nature and features of SLA and manifest the personal experiences of the students as well. To some extent, cultural features are also shown in the metaphors.
