转喻的根隐喻及其主要类别

Radical metaphor of metonymy and its main categories

转喻是一种由根隐喻派生出的隐喻 ,因此又称派生隐喻。根隐喻是一种认知方式 ,由本体和喻体构成。但在转喻的表层结构中只有本体 ,而喻体隐含在深层结构中。通过转喻的相关性或毗邻性 ,本体和喻体产生了必然的联系 ,并形成转喻的根隐喻 ,所以转喻表示 ,一实体也即是与其相关的另一实体。

Metonymy is a kind of metaphor derived from radical metaphor, called derivative metaphor. Radical metaphor is a kind of cognitive device and it consists of tenor and vehicle. But there is only a tenor in the surface structure of metonymy, and the vehicle is embedded in the deep structure. By means of the relativity or contiguity of metonymy, the tenor makes an inevitable association with the vehicle, forming the radical metaphor of metonymy, and therefore metonymy means that an entity is another that is related to it.
