论动词隐喻的“否定”语义特征——兼论俄语动词多义性

Verbal Metaphor's Negative Semantic Features: With Metaphors in Russian as an Exemplar

隐喻不仅有共性内容、相似性,而且还包涵"否定"语义特征,如果说前者是人们已经注意到而且研究较多的,那么后者则是学者们很少关注、研究非常有限的。本文专门对俄语动词隐喻所蕴含的否定语义特征问题展开研究,具体分析内容包括动词隐喻的语义"否定"内涵、动词隐喻否定语义特征的不同层次、动词隐喻否定与肯定的转化等。这对于深入挖掘动词隐喻的语义结构、语义机制及动词多义性有所裨益。

Metaphor not only has similarity as its constitutive property but also possesses negative semantic features. While scholarly attention has been focused on the former,the latter remains neglected by researchers concerned. Using Russian verbal metaphors as exemplars,this paper attempts to address the problem of negative semantic features in metaphor by analyzing such aspects as negative semantic connotations; hierarchies of negative semantic features; and the transfer between negation and affirmation in verbal metaphor.
