概念合成的多域性与谢默斯·希尼叙事诗的合成度——以希尼的四首诗为例

Multiple-scope of Conceptual Blending and Blending Value of Seamus Heaney's Narrative Poems: Exemplified in Heaney's Fout Poems

谢默斯·希尼的叙事诗是把平凡的日常生活瞬间化成诗意的典范。本文借用概念合成的多域性,提出一种新的循环型合成方式来解释希尼叙事诗意的合成度。文章通过对采用白描式写实、描述-沉思性结构和陈示式注视的不同叙述风格的希尼四首叙事诗的例证考察,得出如下结论:多域性为合成度提供了支配机制,合成度是多域性的具体运作。读者就是在多域性和合成度之间的支配运作过程中,解读诗人不断"挖掘"的真谛,即"叙事升华"。

Seamus Heaney＇s narrative poems are the canonical model that upgrades the ordinary daily life moments into poetry. Borrow ing the concept of multiple-scope of conceptual blending,this article interprets the blending value of the poetic meanings in Heaney＇s narratives in a new mode of circular blending. With exemplary investigations of four Heaney＇s narratives adopting different narrative styles,such as sketching description,descriptive-meditative structure and illustrative observation,the study comes to a conclusion that the multiple-scope provides blending value w ith the governing mechanism,and blending value represents the practical application of the multiple-scope. In the interaction betw een the multiplescope and blending value,the reader comes to an understanding of the nature of Heaney＇s unceasing ＂digging＂,namely ＂narrative upgrading＂.
