【摘要】：隐喻的传统研究可追溯到亚里士多德时期,他将隐喻定义为一种修辞方式。随着对隐喻研究的不断深入,美国认知隐喻学学家乔治·莱考夫和英国哲学家马克·约翰逊在1980年发表了《我们赖以生存的隐喻》一书,标志着从认知角度研究隐喻的开端。莱考夫和约翰逊在书中首次构建起“概念隐喻理论(conceptual metaphor theory)”的框架,此理论通过源域和目标域之间映射的解读,为隐喻的理解提供了另一种途径。此后,概念隐喻的相关研究便如雨后春笋般不断涌现,但是从认知的角度对体育文本的研究还不够充分。基于此,本文以莱考夫和约翰逊的概念隐喻理论为基础,对体育新闻中出现的概念隐喻进行分类并分析其中的认知过程。本论文旨在找出英语体育新闻中存在的概念隐喻,并分析它们在体育新闻中认知过程。通过研究发现,概念隐喻在英语体育新闻中普遍存在。作者共找出了15种概念隐喻,包括战争隐喻、旅程隐喻、表演隐喻、植物隐喻、人体隐喻、动物隐喻、建筑隐喻、容器隐喻、金钱隐喻、商业隐喻、疾病隐喻、汽车隐喻、自然隐喻、食物隐喻和上下隐喻,并根据莱考夫和约翰孙的分类,将这些隐喻分为9种结构隐喻,5种实体隐喻和和1种方位隐喻。研究发现,这些隐喻在新闻中出现的次数有明显的差异,比如,战争隐喻出现次数最多,占了约一半的数量,其次是旅程隐喻。通过对这些概念隐喻的认知研究,分析其源域到目标域的映射过程,让人们从认知角度更好的理解体育新闻,加深对隐喻映射过程的理解。
[Abstract]:The traditional study of metaphor dates back to Aristotle, who defined metaphor as a rhetorical device. With the deepening of the study of metaphor, George Lakoff, an American cognitive metaphorist, and Mark Johnson, an English philosopher, published metaphor for our Survival in 1980, which marks the beginning of the study of metaphor from a cognitive perspective. Lakoff and Johnson construct the framework of Conceptual metaphor Theory (conceptual metaphor theory) for the first time, which provides another way to understand metaphor through the interpretation of mapping between source domain and target domain. Since then, researches on conceptual metaphors have sprung up, but the study of sports texts from the cognitive perspective is not enough. Based on Lakoff's and Johnson's Conceptual metaphor Theory, this paper classifies conceptual metaphors in sports news and analyzes their cognitive processes. The purpose of this thesis is to find out the conceptual metaphors in English sports news and to analyze their cognitive processes in sports news. It is found that conceptual metaphors are common in English sports news. There are 15 conceptual metaphors, including war metaphor, journey metaphor, performance metaphor, plant metaphor, human body metaphor, animal metaphor, architectural metaphor, container metaphor, money metaphor, business metaphor, disease metaphor, automobile metaphor. Natural metaphors food metaphors and upper and lower metaphors are classified into nine structural metaphors five substantive metaphors and one orientation metaphor according to the classification of Lakoff and Johansson. It is found that there are significant differences in the frequency of these metaphors in the news. For example, war metaphors appear most frequently, accounting for about half of them, followed by travel metaphors. Through the cognitive study of these conceptual metaphors, this paper analyzes the mapping process from the source domain to the target domain, so that people can better understand sports news from the perspective of cognition and deepen their understanding of the mapping process of metaphor.
