概念隐喻及英汉概念隐喻的相似性

Conceptual Metaphor and Similarity of Conceptual Metaphor in English and Chinese

本文从认知语义学的角度研究隐喻,介绍了由Lakoff和 Johnson 提出的概念隐喻理论。由于人类具有相同的认知体系和相似的生活体验,不同文化的隐喻具有相似的认知基础,本文拟从英、汉语中概念隐喻所包含的结构、方位、本体隐喻三个方面来比较其相似性。

Metaphors are studied on the cognitive semantics perspective and conceptual metaphors are introduced in this paper. Since human beings have the same cognitive systems and similar living experiences, metaphors in different cultures have similar cognitive bases. Consequently, this paper compares the three subdivisions of cognitive metaphors in Chinese and English respectively.
