口语诗《广岛》中隐喻手势的表征方式与元话语功能

Representation and Meta-discourse Function of Metaphorical Gestures in Spoken Word Poetry “Hiroshima”

皮尔斯把类象符号分为意象象似性、拟象象似性和隐喻象似性三种,这个分类与Lakoff&Johnson的概念隐喻理论结合起来可以很好地揭示隐喻手势的表征方式。皮尔斯符号"三位一体"的整体性使符号成为真正的"说明项",在具体语境中具备元话语功能。通过分析,口语诗《广岛》中的隐喻手势具备突出对照、否定评价和谋篇布局的元话语功能。本研究不仅揭示了言语隐喻中无法体现的思维层面的内容,而且有助于对口语交际中隐喻手势的理解。

Pierce’s classification of iconic modes into image iconicity, diagrammatic iconicity, and metaphor iconicity provides a way to explore the representation of metaphoric gestures in combination with Lakoff ＆Johnson’s conceptual metaphor theory. And the unity of Pierce’s Trichotomies makes the sign process a real interpretant and performs meta-language function in contexts. The metaphorical gestures in the spoken word poetry “Hiroshima” perform such meta-dis-course functions as providing a sharp contrast, framing a negative assessment and planning a structure. The study not only reveals the manifestations of metaphorical thought not presented in verbal metaphors, but also helps to understand metaphorical gestures in oral communication.
