关联理论视阈下的小说诗性隐喻研究

A Study of the Poetic Metaphor in Novels from the Perspective of Relvance Theory

诗性隐喻由Lakoff与Turner提出,但其界定尚未明晰。本文首先重新界定诗性隐喻,厘清概念隐喻与诗性隐喻的区别与联系,归纳出诗性隐喻的三个性质,即动中生静、补白添彩和推陈出新,并以关联理论为基础,构建出小说诗性隐喻解读模式,将其应用于爱丽丝·门罗的小说集《亲爱的生活》中。本研究不仅扩展了关联理论的应用范围,而且为读者提供一种新的小说解读模式。

Poetic Metaphor put forward by Lakoff and Turner lacks the clear definition. This article redefines the notion and clarifies the differences and connections between Conceptual Metaphor and Poetic Metaphor. Accordingly, it induces three properties of it, including dynamicity in staticity, complementation as well as innovation and creativity. Based on the Relevance Theory, this study constructs the model of the poetic metaphor in novels and applies such model in Alice Munro＇ s short story collection Dear Life. This study not only expands the applying scope of the Relevance Theory, but also provides a neo-model of novel interpretation for readers.
