【摘要】：语言是人类交流的主要工具。它是每个不同社会之间以及社会成员之间的联系纽带。交流不仅仅是文字和信息的交换,而且是思想、观念、感觉、情感的交互。在使用外语的交流过程中,对习语正确使用是有效文流沟通的一大障碍和挑战。传统观念认为,习语是没有动机性的,其形成是任意性的。然而,认知语言学家认为,有些习语因为受到独立于语言之外的概念结构的激发而产生意义。习语是语言的重要组成部分,具有隐喻的特点。很多汉英语的习语表达都是在潜在的概念隐喻基础上产生的。本论文将比较和对比汉语和英语的习语,以便更好的理解潜在的隐喻,换言之,理解目标语的思维方式。汉语和英语中都有丰富的习语表达和隐喻形式。习语在汉语和英语中都占据重要地位,然而,如果不能够理解这些表达背后蕴藏的文化和思维,那么就很难理解这些习语的意义。汉英语的习语中都反映着丰富的历史、文化、习俗等,而且包含着一些该文化中特有的成语短句,特殊思想等。认知是指为人类经验和行为提供结构、组织、意义的核心心理原则和过程(Thompson,1975)。每个社会都为其成员提供一定模式化的文化信息,使他们能够理解所处的社会和自然环境。中国和美国社会的成员,都对缺乏对于其他模式化文化信息的自然理解。只有当习语潜在的概念隐喻能够被充分理解时,语言学习者才能够能好的理解目标语中的模式化文化信息或思维方式,并且能够将其更好的与本族语的观念和表达结合起来。作者假设,对影响汉英语习语的认知过程的理解可以帮助语言的习得。
[Abstract]:Language is the main tool for human communication. It is the link between every different society and among its members. Communication is not only the exchange of words and information, but also the interaction of thoughts, ideas, feelings and emotions. The correct use of idioms is a major obstacle and challenge to effective communication in foreign language communication. The traditional view is that idioms have no motive and their formation is arbitrary. However, cognitive linguists believe that some idioms are inspired by conceptual structures independent of language. Idioms are an important part of language and have metaphorical characteristics. Many idioms in Chinglish are based on underlying conceptual metaphors. This thesis will compare and contrast Chinese and English idioms in order to better understand the underlying metaphors, in other words, to understand the mode of thinking of the target language. There are abundant idioms and metaphors in both Chinese and English. Idioms play an important role in both Chinese and English. However, it is difficult to understand the meaning of these idioms if they cannot understand the culture and thinking behind these expressions. The idioms in Chinese and English are rich in history, culture, custom and so on, and contain some idioms, special thoughts and so on. Cognition is the core psychological principle and process that provides structure, organization and meaning for human experience and behavior (Thompson 1975). Each society provides its members with stylized cultural information that enables them to understand the social and natural environment in which they live. Members of both Chinese and American societies lack a natural understanding of other stereotypical cultural messages. Only when the latent conceptual metaphors of idioms can be fully understood, can language learners understand the stereotyped cultural information or mode of thinking in the target language and better integrate them with the concepts and expressions of the native language. The author hypothesizes that understanding the cognitive processes that affect Chinese idioms can contribute to language acquisition.
