《尤利西斯》里的身体隐喻:以“眼睛隐喻”为例

Body metaphors in Ulysses: A case study of “eyes metaphors”

本文基于认知隐喻理论视角,运用统计分析方法和文本阐释法对《尤利西斯》里部分人体官能词,如眼睛、头部、手、嘴巴等进行了统计与分析,随后以"眼睛"为个案研究对象,总结、归纳了《尤利西斯》里有关"眼睛"的五类隐喻类型,如"眼睛是情感容器、视线是捉摸/眼睛是肢体、眼睛是发光物体、眼睛是(像)其他物体",并结合文本的具体语境研究其结构、功能及认知语义,揭示隐喻的系统性和认知肌理,对正确认识和把握乔伊斯隐喻思想、语言观以及身体叙事学也有积极意义。

Armed with the theory of cognitive metaphor,by means of statistic analysis and text analysis,this paper first makes a statistic analysis of the frequency of some body organs,such as eyes,head,hand,mouth,etc.,and then,as a case study of"eyes"in Ulysses,summarizes and discusses some five types of cognitive metaphors of"eyes",such as THE EYES ARE CONTAINERS FOR THE EMOTIONS,SEEING IS TOUCHING/EYES ARE LIMBS,THE EYES ARE GLOWING OBJECTS,THE EYES ARE OTHER OBJECTS,and lastly explores their cognitive structures,functions and implications in their specific contexts,so as to demonstrate the systematicness and mechanisms of cognitive metaphor,which is conducive to understanding Joyce’s metaphorical mind,philosophy of language and narratology of the body.
