大数据时代科技英语的隐喻特征

Metaphorical Features of English for Science and Technology in Big Data Era

大数据时代科技英语隐喻语义得到了充分的扩展。研究发现,为了更有效地解释新增科技英语,对已有词汇进行寓意延伸、解释或命名成为不可或缺的认知途径。大数据时代科技英语的隐喻特征可以运用“两域映射理论”和“空间合成理论”,从逻辑性、理论性、指称性和语言性等方面进行分析。

In the era of big data,the metaphorical meaning of English for science and technology(EST)has been fully expanded.In order to explain the newly added EST more effectively,it is an indispensable cognitive way to extend,explain or name the implied meaning by using the existing words.Based on the“two-domain mapping theory”and“spatial synthesis theory”,this paper gives a detail analysis of the metaphorical features of EST in the era of big data from logic,theoretical,referential and linguistic aspects.
