转喻—概念整合下壮族民间叙事长诗情感隐喻的语义建构

The Meaning Construction of Emotional Metaphors in Folk Narrative Poems of Zhuang Nationality from the Perspective of Metonymy—Conceptual Integration Theory

情感是人类经历中最普遍的体验之一,需借助隐喻概念化其抽象性与复杂性。情感隐喻源于人体体验,而心脏作为人类最重要的器官,与情感联系密切。转喻与概念整合共同反映人类的思维方式,基于此探究壮族民间史诗中情感隐喻的意义建构可发现,第一,壮族民间叙事长诗蕴含丰富情感隐喻,其源域类型均源自生活,如食物、植物和工具等;第二,壮族民间叙事长诗中情感隐喻多围绕"心"产生,可借助转喻揭示"心"与情感隐喻关系;第三,转喻—概念整合能够揭示壮族民间史诗中由"心"转指情感后情感隐喻的语义建构过程。从转喻—概念整合双重视阈对壮族民间叙事长诗情感隐喻进行研究,一方面扩展了转喻和概念整合的研究范围,另一方面也揭示了壮族人民情感表达特点,利于保护和宣传壮族传统文化。
