隐喻式认知的生成基础研究——为一种可能的相似理论进行辩护

The Basis of Metaphorical Thinking:Towards a Theory of Similarity

从当今哲学发展的最新趋势来看,隐喻的研究可能成为人类研究自身认知本质的重要窗口。莱考夫和约翰逊在分析隐喻式认知生成基础时提出其"经验对应原理";之后格雷迪对上述原理进行了发展和修正。在分析这些理论的基础上,结合涉身-交互认知科学哲学的发展,尝试通过一个概念"异质抽象相似性原理"来说明隐喻式认知的生成机制。我们倾向于认可在涉身-交互的语境下说明隐喻是如何以一种异质抽象相似性关系为基础把主体的切身体验概念化为一种可为我们识别和使用的常规概念的;这也为我们建立一种可能的相似原理提供了基础。

In recent philosophical development, study on metaphorical thinking has become a hot topic for decoding the mystery of human cognition. This paper is to analyze Lakoff and Johnson＇ s theory on the basis of metaphorical thinking and their follower Grady＇ s reinterpretation on the principle of correspondence. It is argued that in order to avoid a dilemma that the principle of correspondence might face, the author is to introduce a possible theory of simi- larity based on some case study.
