从经验观的角度解析会话含义中的隐喻现象(英文)

Interpretations of Metaphor in English Implicature from the Experiential View

隐喻是我们日常交际会话中常用的一种修辞手段。根据格莱斯的会话含义理论,为了达到一定的交际目的,交际者会采用各种交际手段以直接或间接的表达方式表达其交际意义,其中也包含隐喻。当讲话者试图通过间接的表达方式表达某种交际意义时,通常会使用隐喻这一交际手段。而听话者之所以可以正确理解讲话者所要表达的意义,是因为其拥有一定的建立在经验观基础上的认知能力。

Metaphor is a kind of figure of speech and it is frequently being used in our daily conversations to express our ideas. According to Grice＇s theory of conversational implicature, in order to achieve certain communicative purposes, participants adopt various skills or techniques to express their ideas in a direct or indirect way. Metaphors are commonly used when the Speakers express their ideas indirectly to the hearers and the meanings could be correctly understood by them because they posses certain kinds of cognitive abilities from the experiential view.
