汉语隐喻性话语的取象说

An Extracting Image Theory of Chinese Metaphorical Utterances

观物取象是我国古人对认知过程的一种哲学概括,具有深刻的认识价值。观物取象之于隐喻性话语的认识论价值可从意象思维和全面性的观物原则展开。观物取象是传统中国式隐喻认知模式,在这一原则指导下,隐喻性话语的意义建构就是一个取象过程,并分别体现在据象铸言和立象尽意的语言活动中。这就是隐喻性话语取象说的总体观点,也是观物取象之于本研究的认识价值。

The notion of observing object and extracting image is a philosophical abstraction of the cognitive process and bears great epistemic significance, which is mainly embodied, with regards to this study, in two dimensions, namely the image thinking and the all-sided observing principle. It represents a traditional Chinese way of metaphorical cognition, therefore the meaning construction of metaphor is a process of extracting image, by means of which the production and interpretation of metaphorical utterances are achieved. The overall viewpoint of extracting image theory in metaphorical utterances is also the epistemic significance the notion of observing object and extracting image applies to this study.
