英语习语的认知机制研究

The Study of Cognitive Mechanism of Idioms

习语是概念系统的产物,是语言学研究的焦点。认知语言学为我们提供了探索习语语义的新视角。本文尝试使用概念隐喻和概念整合理论来探讨习语的认知机制。研究表明,概念隐喻理论和概念整合理论可以帮助我们理解习语的意义。

Idioms are the products of our conceptual system, as well as the focus of linguistic research. Cognitive linguistics provides us a new perspective to explore idioms＇ meanings. This paper tries to explore the cognitive mechanism of idioms with the theories of conceptual metaphor and conceptual blending. The research suggests that conceptual metaphor and conceptual blending can help us comprehend the meanings of idioms.
