多模态反讽与概念隐/转喻的互动整合——以图文反讽为例

Interactive blending of multimodal irony and conceptual metaphor and metonymy: Cases of verbal-pictorial irony

随着反讽研究的不断深入,研究者开始关注反讽的多模态性。然而,迄今为止,对多模态反讽的探讨还主要聚焦于会话反讽的多模态标记方式及其对反讽识别的影响。对于图文类多模态话语中反讽的建构方式、加工机制、表征类型等还缺乏系统研究。本文基于认知语言学理论,构建一个融转喻、隐喻、微型叙事于一体的在线整合模型。该模型充分考虑了以图像为主的多模态反讽特点,接近该类反讽的认知加工现实,具有很强的认知阐释力。此外,本文还构建了多模态反讽的冲突表征系统,结合实例,区分阐释了不同表征类型。通过建立系统的图文多模态反讽框架,以期推动多模态反讽的在线认知研究。

The multimodality of irony has attracted attention from empirical scholars,whose primary concern has been with the role of multimodal markers of irony for identification and interpretation of irony in natural communication.However,scarce systematic research has been done on the construction,mechanism and representation patterns of verbal-pictorial irony.This paper,drawing on theories such as conceptual metaphor,metonymy and blending in cognitive linguistics,constructs an online blending model by integrating metonymy,metaphor and mini-narrative.This model,plausibly compliant with the cognitive reality in processing image-text irony,provides great explanatory power.Besides the model,it constructs the conflict representation system of multimodal irony.And examples are employed to illustrate the varying categories of representation.The multimodal irony framework established serves to promoting the study of online cognitive operation for multimodal irony.
