“蹙非蹙罥烟眉,喜非喜含情目”——林黛玉情感隐喻管窥

Study of Emotional Metaphors of Lin Daiyu in A Dream of Red Mansions

本文以绍兴文理学院《红楼梦》语料库为依托,从概念隐喻视角探究林黛玉情感变化的隐喻意义,研究发现林黛玉的情感主要寄托在一些普通和特殊的物象意象上,如穗子、荷包、帕子、桃花、眼泪、诗稿以及金锁、金玉等,体现了林黛玉的爱情、愤怒、嫉妒和悲伤等不同情感。曹雪芹、高鹗将正面、中性和反面物象或意象相结合,作为林黛玉情感的始源域概念,使林黛玉的不同抽象情感更加形象生动。这些始源域物象意象特征以及林黛玉不同情感之间的关系也是本文探究的重点所在,结果发现林黛玉不同情感之间存在着转喻关系,愤怒、嫉妒和悲伤情感都是爱情情感的不同表现形式。

On the basis of the corpus of A Dream of Red Mansions created by Shaoxing University of Art and Science,this paper will study the metaphorical meanings of Lin Daiyu’s different emotions from the perspective of conceptual metaphor.It is found that Lin Daiyu’s emotions are mainly represented by some physical and poetic images,common or special,such as tassel,purse,handkerchief,peach blossom,tears,poem manuscripts,gold locket and jade,etc.,which reflect Lin Daiyu’s different emotions of love,anger,jealousy and sorrow.Cao Xueqin and Gao E adopted some physical or poetic images with positive,neutral or negative connotations as the source concepts of Lin Daiyu’s emotions,making Lin Daiyu’s various abstract emotions more vivid.Moreover,the features of these physical and poetic images in the source domain and the relationship between the different emotions of Lin Daiyu are also the key that will be discussed in this paper.The study discovers that there is a metonymic relationship among various emotions of Lin Daiyu.The emotions of anger,jealousy and sorrow are all different manifestations of Lin Daiyu’s love.
