从语音层面看跨域喻指的隐喻现象

Cross-domain Metaphor on Phonetic Level

从语音层面来看,几乎所有语言中都存在着大量的同音异义字(词),这就为以谐音双关为主要形式的语音隐喻的产生提供了语音条件。所谓语音隐喻是指不同的所指通过其能指所具有的相同或相似的语音成分在语音层面上所进行的概念系统中的跨域映射。本文从隐喻认知角度探讨语音层面所存在的跨域喻指的隐喻现象。

Analyzing from phonetic level, we may find there are plenty of homophones in nearly all the lan- guages, which provides phonetic condition for the forming of phonetic metaphor mainly in the form of homophonic puns. Phonetic metaphor is a cross - domain mapping happening in the conceptual system which is generated by different signified by means of the identical or similar sound elements of the signifiers. From the perspective of cog- nitive metaphor, this paper attempts to interpret cross -domain metaphor on phonetic level.
