从文化视角对“习式演讲”的认知隐喻探析--以2013和2015年博鳌亚洲论坛演讲为例

On the Conceptual Metaphors in President Xi’s 2013 and 2015 APEC Speeches from Cultural Perspective

隐喻不仅仅是修辞现象,其本质是人们以一种事物来理解和体验另一种事物。隐喻映射不是任意的,而是受到体验特性的制约;人类的身体经验和文化经验为隐喻提供经验基础,因此隐喻语言的产生和运用会因文化的不同而不同。从文化视角,本文对习主席演讲中的概念隐喻,如"航海隐喻""棋局隐喻""邻居隐喻"等,进行分析,解读其中所包含的中国文化精神和我党政策方针所基于的传统文化理念,以便国际社会更好地理解中国的方针政策,从而弘扬中国文化精神。

Lakoff proposes that metaphors are not merely rhetorical devices but fundamentally are conceptual patterns;they are about how we understand and construct one entity in terms of another. Metaphorical mappings are not arbitrary but based on our expe-riential cognition, including our bodily experience and cultural values. This paper analyzes the conceptual metaphors in President Xi’s speeches from the cultural perspective, focusing on three conceptual metaphors, namely: "marine metaphor, go metaphor, and neighbor metaphor", to interpret the Chinese cultural values on which these conceptual metaphors are based, so that the international community can have a better understanding about the Chinese cultural values on which our Party’s policies are constructed.
