摘要
本文运用认知语言学的理论,考察利用人体概念化的转喻现象,发现人体转喻化是利用人的功能特征对其他事物进行概念化的过程,其特点为凸显人体的某种功能特征。人体转喻化分为四类,其凸显的功能特征包括:某人体部位的动作、抽象智力功能、抽象情绪和心理功能,及人体部位的重要性。
The article,by applying the theories of cognitive linguistics,studies the theoretical basis and cognitive features of Metonymies of body-part terms.It is concluded that the metonymy of body-part terms is the conceptualization of other categories by using functional attributes of body-parts.The features of body-parts involved in semantic prominence are mainly functional attributes including the action done by the body parts,the abstract intellectual function,the abstract emotional function and the importance of the body parts.There are four main categories of metonymies of body-part terms.
