【摘要】：传统隐喻观点认为隐喻是一种美化语言的修辞方法,然而随着认知隐喻研究的发展,学者普遍认为隐喻本质是认知的。1980年,Lakoff和Johnson在他们的著作《我们赖以生存的隐喻》中提出概念隐喻的理论。根据他们的观点:隐喻不仅是一种语言方式,还是一种思考方式。它不仅存在于语言中,而且存在于思想和行动中。因此隐喻是理解世界和构建概念系统的重要认知工具和方法。Charteris-Black进一步提出了新的隐喻理论框架,即批评隐喻分析。批评隐喻旨在通过综合运用批评语篇分析、语料库语言学、认知语言学和语用学的研究方法分析隐喻,揭示说话者潜在的意识形态、情感及态度,并进一步探究思维、语言及社会之间的关系的。经过阅读相关文献发现,现阶段应用批评隐喻分析方法的研究中,语料主要集中于政治、经济类等特殊话语,其他领域鲜少涉及。英女王演说是将女王思想传播到民众的一种重要方式,圣诞演说是其中最具有代表性和传统性的。演说内容涉及英国以及英联邦政治文化等诸多方面。因此本文选取英女王圣诞演说作为语料,基于隐喻理论,利用批评隐喻分析方法展开分析,旨在通过历时与共时相结合的方式,探讨演说中隐喻使用特点、选择相关隐喻的理据以及其产生的社会作用。研究发现,在演说中英女王概念隐喻语使用情况在共时方面主要体现为旅程隐喻、家庭隐喻、朋友隐喻、以及明暗隐喻在各个时期使用频率最高;在历时方面体现为关于女王自身地位的隐喻随时期不同发生变化。特定隐喻的应用基于英国、英联邦的历史、宗教、政治环境等因素,反映出女王的主要思想是维系英国以及英联邦的稳定与平稳发展。此外,通过概念隐喻的使用,女王期望达到鼓舞民众共同努力、克服困难,将英国英联邦建设成一个强大并且稳定的大家庭的目的,具体体现在传播功能,说服功能,鼓励功能和桥梁功能方面。本研究丰富了隐喻研究的语料范围,体现了批评隐喻分析的适用性,并从语言学角度窥探了思维、语言、社会的关系。
[Abstract]:The traditional metaphorical view holds that metaphor is a rhetorical device to beautify language. However, with the development of cognitive metaphor, In 1980, Lakoff and Johnson put forward the theory of conceptual metaphor in their book metaphor for our existence. According to them, metaphor is not just a language. It is also a way of thinking. It exists not only in language, but also in thought and action. Therefore, metaphor is an important cognitive tool and method for understanding the world and constructing conceptual systems. Charteris-Black further proposes a new theoretical framework for metaphor. The purpose of critical metaphor is to reveal the potential ideology, emotion and attitude of the speaker through the comprehensive application of critical discourse analysis, corpus linguistics, cognitive linguistics and pragmatics. And further explore the relationship between thinking, language and society. After reading the relevant literature, it is found that in the study of critical metaphorical analysis at present, the corpus is mainly focused on political, economic and other special discourse. Rarely in other fields. Queen's speech is an important way to spread the queen's thoughts to the people. The Christmas speech is the most representative and traditional one. It covers many aspects of British and Commonwealth politics and culture. Therefore, this paper chooses the Queen of England's Christmas speech as the corpus, based on the metaphor theory. The purpose of this analysis is to explore the characteristics of metaphor use in speeches, the motivation of choosing relevant metaphors and the social effects of metaphor through the combination of diachronic and synchronic approaches. The use of the Queen's Conceptual metaphors in speeches is mainly reflected in the synchronic aspects of journey metaphors, family metaphors, friend metaphors, and light and dark metaphors, which are frequently used in each period. In diachronic terms, metaphors about the Queen's own status change from time to time. The application of specific metaphors is based on the historical, religious and political circumstances of the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth, and so on. The Queen's main idea is to maintain the stability and smooth development of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth. In addition, through the use of conceptual metaphors, the Queen hopes to inspire the people to work together to overcome the difficulties. The purpose of building the British Commonwealth into a strong and stable family is embodied in the functions of communication, persuasion, encouragement and bridge. It reflects the applicability of critical metaphorical analysis and explores the relationship among thinking, language and society from a linguistic point of view.
