The Possibility of Semantic Features and Analysis of Figures of Speech —— Cognitive Figures and Expressive Figures

In this paper, linguistic methodology is suggested for approaching figures of speech formed due to shift of cognitive relations. First, requisite features, possible features and impossible features are proposed on the basis of semantic analysis and their interrelationships and expressions are discussed. Then it is further argued that all figures formed due to shift of cognitive relation are expressed to accept an impossible feature; and there are four semantic forms to accept it: “zero distance/distanced”, “implicit/explicit”, “direct/indirect”, “positive/negative”. Finally, starting from the two approaches to figures we comment on the traditional idea of separating decoration and substance and the new idea of “function as form”.

Figures of Speech in Medieval English Mystics

The aim of this paper is to examine metaphors and similes as figures of speech in the language of medieval English mystics.We will focus on three contemplative 14th-century mystics in East Midland;Walter Hilton;the Cloud author;and Julian of Norwich.Metaphors are figures of speech in which a word or phrase that ordinarily denotes one thing is used to designate another;thus making an implicit comparison;as in“a sea of troubles”.For theoretical background;we adapt Lakoff and Johnson’s subcategorization of metaphors into ontological;orientational;and structural metaphors.Lakoff and Johnson significantly remarked that in everyday life;metaphors are pervasive in not only language but also thought and action.As another device of a figure of speech;we will consider similes whereby two concepts are imaginatively and descriptively compared.The use of figurative speech among the medieval mystics is not random but an effective measure in terms of which we can conceptualize their experience.Metaphors and similes used in mystical discourse cannot help but try and construct what cannot be comprehended by acting on embodying the abstract.Numerous figures of speech found in devotional prose;though some noted earlier in biblical works;are novel in their use.In trying to make the ancient teachings of the Christ accessible for the lay public;the prose observed in this study uses figurative language in association with their writings.

Animal Words: Parts of Speech and Metaphoricity

The study in this paper belongs to the field of the grammar of metaphor. Six types of animal words were investigated in order to find the connection between their parts of speech and metaphorical relationship by applying the British National Corpus in combination with Collins Dictionary. It is found that not all verbs formed via conversion from nominal animal words carry the conceptual features of the animal entities, and in this case, the resultant verbs do not form metaphors. Where the verbs carry over the conceptual features of the nominal animal words, metaphors will occur. Of course, there are a few exceptions, like fish in fish for, which forms a metaphor though fish as a verb here does not carry over the conceptual features of the nominal fish.As to adjectives and adverbs derived from nominal animal words, they form metaphors in most cases by carrying over the conceptual features of the relevant animals. The study can be broadened to other entity nouns in order to find regularities about when their derivatives form metaphoricity.

“以兵为喻”与《文心雕龙》批评话语的生成

在中国古代文艺理论批评史上,“以兵为喻”是一种独特的言说方式与批评范式。军事理论与文艺理论间的相似性、相通性,奠定了文艺理论批评“以兵为喻”的学理基础。古代思想家、理论家文武兼修、道器并进的知识结构,为文艺理论批评“以兵为喻”提供了丰富的话语资源。《文心雕龙》作为中国古代文艺理论象喻批评的典范之作,在“以兵为喻”范式的运用上,无论是取譬的广度、阐释的深度,抑或使用的频率,均达到了前所未有的水平。举凡兵形、兵势、兵器,以及阵法、士气等军事元素,皆被刘勰援以论文。“以兵为喻”由此成为中国古代文艺理论话语生成的重要路径。

马丁内奇语用隐喻论钩沉

语言哲学家马丁内奇以格赖斯的会话合作原则为突破口,从会话准则的违反情况层面解读隐喻,认为隐喻追根究底是语用的而非语义的,具有隐喻含义的表达是会话含义推理分析的结果,而非隐喻成为可能的原因。以马丁内奇1980和1984两篇经典论文为纲,可以探究隐喻在更为普遍的语用理论中阐释路径的可及性,并将隐喻置于马丁内奇所提出的更为普遍、包容的语言使用理论中,有利于丰富当下以认知为尊的隐喻研究,有利于构建更加完善、更具囊括性的隐喻理论。
