认知语言学第三章隐喻与转喻

常规隐喻（conventional or dead metaphors）

“„„通过长期建立的常规关系而无意识进入语 言的隐喻才是最重要的。”（Ungerer & Schmid 1996: 117）

莱考夫（1980）把隐喻看做是人们思维、行为和
表达思想的一种系统的方式，即隐喻概念
（metaphorical concept or conceptual metaphor）。
结构隐喻（Structural Metaphor）

以一种概念的结构来构造另一种概念，使两种概 念相叠加，将谈论一种概念的各方面的词语用于 谈论另一概念。 TIME IS MONEY
I don’t have the time to give you. How do you spend your time these days? 一寸光阴一寸金 我们何不省点时间，现在就吃饭呢？
方位隐喻（Orientational Metaphor）

参照空间方位而组建的一系列隐喻概念。
HIGH STATUS IS UP; LOW STATUS IS DOWN


RATIONAL IS UP; EMOTIONAL IS DOWN
CONSCIOUS IS UP; UNCONCIOUS IS DOWN A meeting has been planed for next Wednesday. Now, Let’s move the meeting forward two days.
容器隐喻（Container metaphor）

The ship is coming into view. VISUAL FIELDS AS CONTAINERS
Are you in the race on Sunday? RACE AS CONTAINER There is a lot of land in Kansas. AREAS AS CONTAINERS How did you get into window-washing as a profession? THE ACTIVITY OF WASHING AS CONTAINER We are out of trouble now. TROUBLE AS CONTAINER
Basic correlations: guide us in understanding the events and actions in the world around us. ‘cause<>effect’, action/change<>motion… Culture-dependent evaluations: restricted to the members of a specific culture.

隐喻的抽象认知能力来源于对两个概念的“相似（ similarity）”的认知。 映射域即人脑中两个概念建立相似性的地方。 Three major components of mapping scopes：

Image schemas: firmly grounded in our bodily experiences, are the most probably shared by all human beings. ‘in-out’

转喻定义
1. Lakoff & Johnson ( 1980)

Metonymy has primarily a referential function, that is,



映射（Mapping）
隐喻不仅是根据对具体事物的认知模式来认识和

构造对其他事物的认知模式，而是将整个认知模
式的结构、内部关系转移，这种转移被称为源模 式向目标模式结构的映射。

隐喻本质上是一种认知现象，是思维相互作用的 产物。它以已知喻未知、以熟悉喻不熟悉，以简 单喻复杂、以具体喻抽象，以通俗喻科学。 Metaphor not only used for poetic effect, also enables human beings to understanding and describing abstract things. And the source domains tend very often to be concrete, things that we can experience directly. While the target domains tend to be abstract.
They have their exits and their entrance, And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages... 问君能有几多愁?恰似一江春水向东流 . 下馆子/上饭店 Do metaphors or metonymies only exist in literature? What kind of roles that metaphors and metonymies do in our daily life?
Three stages of Metaphors studies

Initial stage(300BC-1920s): During this stage, Metaphors and Metonymies are studied as kinds of rhetoric devices. Aristotle, who first began to study the properties and functions of Metaphor, defined metaphor as the Transference of meaning between concepts in her book Rehetoric and Poetry. Representatives of this stages are Aristotle, Quintilian…

LIFE IS A JOURNEY, AN ARGUMENT IS A JOURNEY
同一目标域也可以由多个源域隐喻。
AN ARGUMENT IS A JOURNEY, AN ARGUMENT IS A BATTLE, AN ARGUMENT IS A CONTAINER, AN ARGUMENT IS A BUILDING



IDEAS (or MEANINGS) ARE OBJECTS
LINGUISTIC EXPRESSIONS ARE CONTAINERS COMMUNICATION IS SENDING It’s hard to get that idea across to him. It’s difficult to put my ideas into words. ARGUMENT IS WAR He attacked every week point in my argument.


相似原则（principle of similarity）
人们容易将相同或相似的东西看做是一个单位。这 一原则在概念和语言的形成中是最重要的原则。
顺接原则（principle of good continuation）
在识别和记忆事物时，人们倾向于寻找有规律、变化 小的整体。
接近原则（principle of proximity）
corridors.

出于表达新事物的需要——科学中的隐喻

①一般而言，隐喻的源域为具体范畴，而目标域是后认知的具体范畴或抽 象范畴，而不是相反。 ②常规隐喻是一个语言集团文化和经验的沉淀。人们根据经验和文化传统 来选择源域。 ③源域与目标域之间形成一定的隐喻结构网，同一源域可以隐喻多个目标 域，



When does the meeting take place?
实体隐喻（Ontological Metaphor）


将抽象概念具体化
My fear of insects is driving my wife crazy. It will take a lot of patience to finish this book. The ugly side of his personality comes out under pressure. The pressure of his responsibilities caused his breakdown.
语言学上，把由于两个事物的特征上所存在的某 一类似之处，而用指一个事物的词来指代另一个 事物的演变方式叫做隐喻（Metaphor）。 Metaphor involves using words from one domain to talk about the other. The domain from which words been selected is called the source domain, and the domain been described is regarded as the target domain.
Metaphors as a way of thinking: examples from science and politics Pragmatic applications of Metaphors and Metonymies

All the world’s a stage
And all the man and women merely players;

在认知上，距离相近的事物容易被看做是一个单 位。
突显原则（principle of prominence）

人们的注意力更容易观察和记忆事物比较突显的方面。

相似原则&顺接原则是隐喻的认知原则。 接近原则&凸显原则是转喻的认知原则。

好的语言是一种圆满的实现，能表达人的感知本 身所不能表现的事情。——查理

THE WORLD IS A STAGE

Second stage(1930-1960): Focus on the structure and meaning of metaphor. This is a period of time that regard as the transitory stage between the study of metaphor as rhetoric devices and the study of metaphor as a cognitive model. Main representatives of this stage are R. Jakobson, E. Benveniste and M. Black. Third stage( 1970-now): Metaphors and Metonymies are regarded as cognitive models and been studied within multidisciplinary fields.
