【摘要】：本文从认知语言学的角度对中英文经济新闻标题进行研究，并运用认知语言学理论阐释经济新闻标题的认知机制，为经济新闻标题的研究提供新的研究方法。传统修辞学家将隐喻定义为一种修辞手段。Lakoff和Johnson认为隐喻本质上是一种思维方式和行为模式。本文将现代概念隐喻理论运用到中英经济新闻中，重点研究分析经济新闻标题中出现的四种概念隐喻，即战争隐喻、婚恋隐喻、游戏隐喻和食物隐喻。这也证明了隐喻广泛的存在于经济新闻标题当中。本文还探讨了经济新闻标题中使用概念隐喻的四大原则，，即经济原则、吸引原则、突出原则和创新原则。同隐喻一样，转喻也是人类思维活动的基本工具，在人类生活和语言交际中也起着重要的作用。本文还回顾了对Metonymy的定义与分类，根据是否有“喻”, René Dirven将Metonymy分为三类：线性Metonymy连接性Metonymy和包含性Metonymy；根据是否有指代性，Mendoza和Velasco将Metonymy分为指代性与非指代性。本文还分析了英汉语经济新闻标题中词汇的特点，指出首字母缩略语、减缩词、短词等运用转喻模型，很好地遵循了新闻价值的四要素：及时性、可读性、接近性和重要性。根据Radden和Kovecses对转喻的分类，本文研究分析了经济新闻标题中的转喻现象。 Fauconnier和Turner提出了概念整合理论。它的运作需要四个心理空间:两个输入空间，一个类属空间和一个整合空间。从认知语言学角度看，两个输入心理空间通过跨空间的部分映射相互匹配。同时，通过概念整合过程中的组合、完善和阐释，两个输入空间有选择地分别投射到一个动态的合成空间。这样，新的概念范畴才能建立起来。根据这一理论，本文试图解释人们理解经济新闻标题时内在的心理机制，从而为解释经济新闻标题提供了一个新的可能性。格式塔心理学家认为我们的知觉分为图形和背景两部分。图形是突显的部分，是人们注意的焦点；背景则是为突出图形的次突显部分。突显本质上是存在于人们对世界的感知中。本文以图形背景分离为理论框架，结合小句结构中的信息焦点和末端中心原则，详细探讨相同背景下的不同经济新闻标题中体现的图形背景关系，并分析各个经济新闻标题的注意力焦点和信息焦点。此外，本文还借用Langacker的“射体”、“第一界标”和“第二界标”的概念，详细探讨了如何辨别经济新闻标题中多个突显要素的问题。
[Abstract]:This paper studies economic news headlines in English and Chinese from the perspective of cognitive linguistics, and explains the cognitive mechanism of economic news headlines by using cognitive linguistics theory, which provides a new research method for the study of economic news headlines. Traditional rhetoricians define metaphor as a rhetorical device. Lakoff and Johnson believe that metaphor is essentially a mode of thinking and behavior. This paper applies modern conceptual metaphor theory to Chinese and English economic news, and focuses on the analysis of four conceptual metaphors in the headlines of economic news, namely war metaphor, marriage metaphor, game metaphor and food metaphor. It also proves that metaphors are widely used in the headlines of economic news. The paper also discusses the four principles of using conceptual metaphor in economic news headlines, namely, economic principle, attraction principle, outstanding principle and innovation principle. Like metaphor, metonymy is a basic tool for human thinking and plays an important role in human life and language communication. This paper also reviews the definition and classification of Metonymy. Ren 茅 Dirven classifies Metonymy into three categories according to whether there is a "metaphor": linear Metonymy connective Metonymy and inclusive Metonymy;, and Mendoza and Velasco divide Metonymy into anaphoric and non-anaphoric. This paper also analyzes the characteristics of vocabulary in economic news headlines in English and Chinese, and points out that by using metonymy models, acronyms, abbreviations and short words follow the four elements of news value: timeliness, readability, proximity and importance. According to the classification of metonymy by Radden and Kovecses, this paper analyzes the metonymy phenomenon in economic news headlines. Fauconnier and Turner put forward the theory of conceptual integration. Its operation requires four mental spaces: two input spaces, one generic space and one integrated space. From the perspective of cognitive linguistics, the two input mental spaces match each other through cross-spatial partial mapping. At the same time, through the combination, perfection and explanation in the process of conceptual integration, the two input spaces are selectively projected into a dynamic composite space. In this way, a new conceptual category can be established. Based on this theory, this paper attempts to explain the psychological mechanism inherent in people's understanding of economic news headlines, thus providing a new possibility for explaining economic news headlines. Gestalt psychologists believe that our perception is divided into two parts: graphics and background. Figure is the highlight part, is the focus of attention; the background is the secondary highlight part of the prominent figure. Prominence essentially exists in people's perception of the world. Taking the separation of graphic background as the theoretical framework and combining the principle of information focus and end center in clause structure, this paper discusses in detail the graphic background relations embodied in different economic news headlines under the same background. And analyze the attention focus and information focus of each economic news title. In addition, using the concepts of "projector", "first boundary marker" and "second boundary marker" of Langacker, this paper discusses in detail how to distinguish many prominent elements in economic news headlines.
