发布时间：2018-10-19 14:32

【摘要】：早在2000多年前，人们就开始研究隐喻。传统隐喻观将隐喻看作是一种最基本的修辞方式，用来修饰和美化文学作品中的词语。当代的隐喻理论认为隐喻不仅是一种常见的语言现象，而且是一种思维和认知方式。做为一种扼要的语言形式，隐喻和人类活动互相影响。水是生命之源，滋养和维系着地球上的一切生命。我们经常用水这一具体事物概念化其他事物，因此衍生出许多关于水的隐喻表达。本文在概念隐喻理论的指导下，分析了英语和汉语中水的隐喻，探讨了英汉水的隐喻的异同并提出造成差异的原因。本文共分五章。第一章中，作者介绍了研究背景、研究问题、研究目的及论文结构。第二章回顾了中外隐喻研究，外国隐喻研究主要包括比较论、替代论、互动论、语用论和认知论。作者还介绍了关于水的其他隐喻的研究及他们的局限性。在第三章中，作者详细地阐述了概念隐喻理论，，旨在构建该对比研究的理论框架。第四章是本文的核心部分，主要探讨了水的概念隐喻的异同，作者共总结了7个英汉语中共有的水的概念隐喻，3个英语中特有的水的概念隐喻和4个汉语中特有的水的概念隐喻。基于以上发现，作者提出形成英汉语中水的概念隐喻的差异的原因，即不同的地理环境和不同的文化类型，其中不同的文化类型又包括不同的世界观和不同的时间观。最后，作者总结了本研究的结果和重要性，提出了本文的局限性并给今后的研究提出了有价值的建议。本文论证了认知隐喻理论并肯定了跨语言和跨文化隐喻研究的重要性。同时，水的概念隐喻的对比研究有益于英汉学习者学习与水相关的词语和表达，也为英汉语教师提供了一种进行词汇教学的有效方式。
[Abstract]:People began to study metaphor more than 2000 years ago. The traditional metaphorical view regards metaphor as the most basic rhetorical method, which is used to modify and beautify the words in literary works. Contemporary metaphor theory holds that metaphor is not only a common linguistic phenomenon, but also a way of thinking and cognition. As a concise form of language, metaphor and human activities interact. Water is the source of life, nourishing and sustaining all life on earth. We often conceptualize water as a concrete thing, thus giving rise to many metaphorical expressions about water. Under the guidance of conceptual metaphor theory, this paper analyzes the metaphors of water in English and Chinese, probes into the similarities and differences between English and Chinese, and puts forward the reasons for the differences. This paper is divided into five chapters. In the first chapter, the author introduces the research background, research problems, research purposes and the structure of the thesis. The second chapter reviews the study of metaphor at home and abroad. The study of foreign metaphor mainly includes comparison theory, substitution theory, interaction theory, pragmatics theory and cognitive theory. The author also introduces other metaphors of water and their limitations. In the third chapter, the author elaborates the conceptual metaphor theory in detail, aiming at constructing the theoretical framework of the contrastive study. Chapter four is the core part of this paper, which mainly discusses the similarities and differences of conceptual metaphors of water. The author summarizes seven common conceptual metaphors for water in English and Chinese, three unique conceptual metaphors for water in English and four conceptual metaphors for water in Chinese. Based on the above findings, the author puts forward the reasons for the differences in conceptual metaphors of water in English and Chinese, that is, different geographical environments and different cultural types, in which different cultural types include different world views and different views of time. Finally, the author summarizes the results and importance of this study, puts forward the limitations of this paper and puts forward some valuable suggestions for future research. This paper demonstrates the cognitive metaphor theory and affirms the importance of cross-linguistic and cross-cultural metaphor studies. At the same time, the contrastive study of conceptual metaphors of water is beneficial to English and Chinese learners in learning water related words and expressions, and also provides an effective way for English and Chinese teachers to teach vocabulary.
