Imagination and the creation and reception of hyperbole as a rhetorical text

想象是人们在头脑里改造记忆中的表象从而创造新形象的过程。想象分为创造性想象和再造性想象,它们是建构和接受夸张修辞文本的心理基础。探讨创造性想象的本质和特点,有利于更深刻地理解夸张修辞文本的生成缘由;研究再造性想象的本质和特点,有助于更好地了解夸张修辞文本的接受规律。

Imagination is the mental creation of new images from combinations of images or concepts stored in one's memories. It falls into two kinds: creative imagination and reproductive imagination. They are the psychological bases for the creation and reception of hyperbole as a rhetorical text respectively. A fresh study of the nature and characteristics of both the creative imagination and the reproductive imagination helps readers better understand the cause of the creation of the rhetorical text and its process of reception.
