语法隐喻的认知解读——基于原型理论和图形-背景理论的研究

The Cognitive Interpretation of Grammatical Metaphor:Research Based on the Prototype and Figure-Ground Theory

关于隐喻的研究源远流长,可以追溯到古希腊时期。韩礼德对隐喻现象也非常感兴趣且作了细致的研究,并率先提出了语法隐喻。语法隐喻包括概念隐喻和人际隐喻,前者主要探究的是一致式和隐喻式的"概念","语法"和"隐喻"的内涵;后者主要涉及的是一致式和隐喻式的"人际功能","语法"和"隐喻"的关系。为了更好地阐明和揭示语法隐喻的价值,笔者试图从认知语言学的角度出发,根据原型理论和图形-背景理论对语法隐喻现象进行解读,以期为它的研究和理解提供一个新的视角。

The research on the metaphor enjoys a long history, which can be traced to the ancient Greek.Halliday was very keen on it as well and he studied metaphor meticulously.It is he who firstly put forward grammatical metaphor which included the ideational metaphor and interpersonal metaphor.The former one concentrates on the connotation of ＂idea＂, ＂grammar＂and ＂metaphor＂of congruent form and metaphorical form while the latter focuses on the relationship of ＂interpersonal function＂, ＂grammar＂and＂metaphor＂about congruent form and metaphorical form.In order to elaborate on and reveal the value of grammatical metaphor, an in-terdisciplinary research is conducted to study it based on the prototype theory and figure-background theory in cognitive linguistics, in hope of providing a new perspective to the research and understanding of grammatical metaphor.
