语法隐喻理论在大学英语写作教学中的实证研究

Empirical Research of Grammatical Metaphor in College English Writing Teaching

语法隐喻是人类适应社会环境和认知社会的一种重要方式,它通过补充和思考可以将抽象的内容转化成实体。语法隐喻并非简单的词语代换,而是通过运用结构化的语言形式去代替另一种结构化语言。语法隐喻不仅对于汉语写作有很大作用,同时对于英语来说同样具有深刻的意义。语法隐喻可以使整篇文章更具有客观性和简练性,让文章看起来更加紧凑、有条理。语法隐喻的合理运用可以帮助学生更加轻松地度过英语表达过于空泛的瓶颈期,从而使得学生的英语写作更具有可读性。基于此,通过研究大学生英语写作中出现的问题,并结合语法隐喻理论进行合理化教导。

Grammatical metaphor is an important way for human beings to adapt to the social environment and cognize the society, which transforms abstract contents into physical objects by supplementing and thinking. It replaces a structural linguistic form with another instead of a simple replacement of words. Not only is it of great benefit for Chinese writing, but also has a profound impact on English. Grammatical metaphor allows the whole passage objective, brief, cohesive and organized. The proper application of grammatical metaphor can help students easily remove the bottleneck of vague and over-generalized expression in English writing.
