摘要
认知语言学认为时间概念是由空间概念隐喻而来,"自我在动 时间在动"的空间隐喻是许多语言所共有的。文章以汉语时间表达的空间隐喻为语料,发现汉语较多使用"时间在动"的隐喻,为这一普遍性提供了佐证。同时发现"自我在动 时间在动"的隐喻不能完全解决汉语中一些时间表达的矛盾。
Time concept comes from one and two kinds of spatial metaphor——the ego moving and the time moving metaphor—— which exist in many languages in cognitive linguistics.Taking spatial metaphor in words for time in Chinese for example, the author thinks that the time moving metaphor is used at higher frequency than the ego moving one in Chinese but the two metaphors can not explain some contractions on Chinese temporal expressions.
