文学意义的隐喻研究

Beyond Cognition and Linguistics: Metaphor in Literary

隐喻是西方文学理论传统的核心问题之一,也是文学基本问题之一。隐喻在认知和语言之外的被当代隐喻研究所忽略的文学层面的价值理应受到关注:作为一种艺术,文学是充满隐喻性的创作。作家的整个思维运作方式和创作过程都是隐喻性的。隐喻不再局限于语言层面的表现形式或修辞方式,而是作为一种人类的思维方式,成为一个解读文学作品的重要途径。文学意义的隐喻研究以认知隐喻研究为理论参照,并以自身的理论与之相互观照,而不仅仅是认知隐喻研究的补充。注重文学意义的隐喻研究,有利于促成相得益彰且均衡有序的隐喻理论发展态势。

Metaphor is one of the core issues in traditional western literary theory, but also a basic concept ofliterature. Literary value of metaphor beyond cognition and linguistics calls for more academic attention： Metaphoras an art of language functions in the mapping process of literature. It＇s no longer confined to the rhetoric andliterary forms, but an important way to interpret literature and a way of thinking itself. Metaphor is not asupplementary but a referential system of literature, achieving a mutual contemplation and a more orderly andbalanced theoretical development itself.
