摘要
从符号学和认知语言学角度探讨有关隐喻的一种新理论 ,即不再把隐喻单纯当作语言内部的一种修辞手段 ,而是把它和人类的认知过程相联系 ,认为它能够反映语言与人类思维、认知的关系。正是由于隐喻具有的这种共同的认知基础 ,因而不同文化背景下的隐喻呈现出一定的相似性。
Traditionally, metaphor has always been considered a rhetorical means used in literature, and especially in poetry. However, the latest view about metaphor has claimed that metaphor should not only be studied in language. Instead, it participates and reflects the cognitive process of mankind. Consequently, this common cognitive basis of metaphor leads to the similarity across different cultures and languages.
