概念的跨域映射:中华民族共同体话语建构的概念隐喻及其修辞机制

Cross-domain Mapping of Concepts:Conceptual Metaphor and Its Rhetorical Mechanism in the Discourse Construction of the Community for the Chinese Nation

如何对“中华民族共同体”这一抽象概念进行符号表征,隐喻提供了一种重要的修辞理念和方法。隐喻的基本修辞原理是跨域映射,即借助具体的概念域来映射抽象的概念域,以形成一种类比性的联想思维方式,从而实现新概念的知识建构。中华民族共同体话语建构的隐喻机制主要发生在话语、语义和符号三个维度。话语维度的共同体建构主要体现为一种概念隐喻实践,代表性的知识话语是“共在”“相互依存”“多元一体”。语义维度的共同体建构依赖于某种隐喻图式的激活与发明,常见的隐喻图式包括基于家庭隐喻的“互助”概念建构、基于建筑隐喻的“连接”概念建构以及基于容器隐喻的“团结”概念建构。符号维度的共同体建构主要体现为视觉隐喻和听觉隐喻两种隐喻实践,其分别通过视觉意象的再造与声音景观的建构,创设一种通往共同体认同的图像化与声音化想象模式。

conceptual domains are mapped with specific conceptual domains to form an analogically associative way of thinking and ultimately achieve the knowledge building of new concepts.The rhetorical mechanism in the discourse construction of the community for the Chinese nation mainly occurs in the discourse,semantic and semiotic perspectives.In the discourse perspective,the construction of the community is mainly embodied in a conceptual metaphor practice,and the representative knowledge discourse include coexistence,interdependence,and unity in diversity.In the semantic perspective,the construction of community depends on the activation and creation of certain metaphorical schemas,and the common metaphorical schemas include the concep-tual construction of"mutual assistance"based on family metaphor,the conceptual construction of"connection"based on the architectural metaphor,and the conceptual construction of"unity"based on the container metaphor.In the semiotic perspective,the construction of the community is mainly embodied in two types of metaphorical practice:visual metaphor and audio metaphor.They are constructed by the recreation of visual images and the creation of soundscape respectively to build a community identity with the imagination pattern featuring visual image and soundscape.
