情感隐喻的心理层面与文明触发

The Psycholosical Level of the Emotional Metaphor and the Civilizoltion Trigger

具身性模拟是情感隐喻理解的助推器。以概念隐喻理论为基础,以认知心理学对模拟的相关研究成果为出发点,从身体和想象维度讨论情感隐喻理解过程中的具身性模拟机制。在源域和语境的提示下,具身性模拟局部激发与情感相关的神经元"模拟器",在神经元层面、感知层面和想象层面部分重现大脑和身体表征感知、行为和内省的具体情感状态,从而激活知觉、感知和行为的相关心智经验,加速和加深个体对情感隐喻的理解。具身性模拟虽不具备对情感画面的整体性描述,也没有通达意识层面,但它表征了情感刺激的初始阶段状态,蕴涵了情感知识的基本内容。

Embodied simulation is a roll booster of the interpretation of emotional metaphor. Grounded by Conceptual Metaphor Theory and based upon research findings on simulation by cognitive psychologists, this paper discusses the mechanism of embodied simulation in the process of emotional metaphor understanding from the perspectives of human body and imagination. The paper claims that embodied simulation partially evokes neural simulators related to emotion in the brain and partially retrieves specific emotional state as brain-and-body-based representations of perception, action and introspection on the levels of neuron, perception and imagination to the cue of context and source domain so that the mental experiences of sense, perception and action are activated and the individual can understand the emotional metaphor more quickly and thoroughly. Although embodied simulation can not draw the whole picture of what emotional state is due to its inaccessibility to the level of consciousness, it represents the initial state of emotional stimulus and entails the fundamental aspects of emotional knowledge.
