合成空间理论视角下隐喻的意义研究

A Study on Meaning of Metaphor from the Perspective of Blended Space Theory

合成空间理论认为一个普遍的认知过程存在于自然语言意义建构过程中,这个过程就是概念整合。同时,隐喻现象也能体现出概念整合过程,因此合成空间理论能够对一些隐喻现象进行阐释,尤其是可以用这一理论分析隐喻的意义和推理机制,是研究隐喻现象的一个新视角。

Blended space theory suggests that conceptual blending is a pervasive cognitive process in the meaning construction of natural language. Meanwhile,metaphors can also be interpreted within the framework of blended space theory. The meaning construction and reasoning mechanism of metaphors can also be interpreted within the framework of blended space theory. This theory provides a new perspective for analyzing metaphors.
