中国听力通道缺失者的英语时空隐喻研究——左右轴线水平维度

The Study on the Left- Right Axis of Horizontal Dimensional Time- Space Metaphors of English in Chinese Hearing Impaired People

听力通道缺失,没有影响中国听力通道缺失者在表征时间左右轴线水平维度的英语词汇方面显示出知觉、动作水平的一致性效应。实验证明,视觉通道和运动觉通道的代偿,使得听力通道缺失者形成了与健听人类似的"左-过去,右-将来"的左右轴线水平维度英语时空隐喻。同时,学习和使用手语使听力通道缺失者并未表现出刺激材料呈现位置,以及反应方式同侧优势效应的特点。因此,在针对听力通道缺失者的英语教学中,帮助其区分手语中异于健听者的时间、空间概念的语义差异,有助于其形成类似健听者左右轴线水平维度的英语时空隐喻。

Chinese hearing impaired people show consistency effect of aesthesia and kinesthetic modality. According to the test, Chinese hearing impaired people show similar ＂left - past, right - future＂ time - space metaphors in both visual and kinesthetic modality as the normal hearing people. Meanwhile, Chinese hearing impaired people have their own characteristics different from the normal hearing people： learning and using sign language has an effect on horizontal dimensional time -space metaphors of nese hearing English in Chi- impaired people, and the subjects do not have the characteristics of ipsilateral dominance effect in the presented position of stimulating materials as well as the reaction. Therefore, Chinese hearing impaired people should be aided to distinguish the semantic differences in the concepts of time and space different from normal hearing people, which will contribute to the formation of their horizontal dimensional time -space metaphors of English from the left -right axis similar to the normal heating people.
