影响时空隐喻理解中时间运动视角选择的因素

The Factors that Influence the Choices of Time Movement Perspectives in Spatial-Temporal Metaphors

"自我动"和"时间动"在时空隐喻中常被用来表征时间的运动方式,代表了人们理解个体与时间相对运动的不同视角。大量研究已证实这两种时间运动视角存在心理现实性。人们对时间运动视角的选择受到空间运动经验、情绪、语言与文化、个体差异等具身因素的影响,反映了时空隐喻理解中视角选择的灵活性。时间运动视角选择的相关研究不仅有助于我们深入认识语言与思维、情感、运动经验等之间的关系,同时也为具身认知理论提供了进一步的实验证据。

A large number of research has confirmed the psychological reality of two types of spatial- temporal metaphoric systems： the ego-moving metaphor and the time-moving metaphor. They are often used to represent the way how time move and also represent two perspectives people used to comprehend the relative motion between self and time. In daily life, many factors such as spatial motion experience, emotion, language and culture as well as individual differences can influence the individual choice between the two perspectives, which further reflects the flexibility of its cognitive process. Research focusing on detecting further factors explaining which metaphoric system a speaker uses not only enhances our comprehension of the relationship between language and thought, emotion, and sensorimotor experience, but also provides further experimental evidence to embodiment cognition.
