泰语饮食熟语的隐喻研究

A Metaphorical Study of Thai Diet Idioms

泰语饮食熟语存在着大量从具体的、熟悉的饮食领域投射到其他无形的、抽象的领域的隐喻映射,它们以食物、饮食动作等作为源域,从饮食领域投射到其他非饮食领域,从而形成新的隐喻概念。通过对泰语饮食熟语的隐喻进行分析,可窥见泰国饮食结构、食材搭配、就餐方式、烹饪技法等方面的饮食文化。

Thai diet idioms have a lot of metaphoric mappings from specific and familiar diet fields to other intangible and abstract fields. They use food, eating actions, etc. as the source domain, and project from the diet field to other non-diet fields, thus forming new metaphorical concepts. By analyzing the metaphor of Thai diet idioms, we can get a glimpse of the food culture in Thailand in terms of food structure, ingredient matching, dining methods, and cooking techniques, etc.
