触觉通感隐喻的类型及其建构条件

Types of Tactile Synaesthesia Metaphor and Its Constructive Condition

对触觉感官独特的生理和心理特征进行了简要分析。结果表明,触觉作为人类认知活动中的最基本感官,为触觉感官的特征映射到其它感官的隐喻性通感表达提供了基础。以文学作品中触觉通感的使用为例,论述了"一对多"的触觉通感的表现形式,即触味相通、触嗅相通、触听相通和触视相通。从认知语言学角度对触觉通感隐喻进行分析,探究其背后的两个认知建构条件:一是人类五大感官域之间的认知相似性;二是认知突显性。

Based on the brief analysis on the distinctive physical and physiological characters of tactile organ,it shows that as the most basic organ for human in recognition activities,tactile provides the foundation for the synaesthesia metaphor expression of mapping the characters of the tactile organ on other types of organs.Taking the usage of tactile synaesthesia in literature works as an example,four＂one to more＂forms of tactile synaesthesia are put forward：sense of touch interconnecting with sense of taste,sense of touch interconnecting with sense of smell,sense of touch interconnecting with sense of hearing and sense of touch interconnecting with sense of sight.From the perspective of cognitive linguistics,tactile synaesthesia metaphor is analyzed to find that there are two recognition constructive conditions：One is recognition similarity among human＇s five organ fields,and the other is prominence of the recognition.
