禁忌词的避讳—中德讣告中“死亡”概念隐喻比较研究
发布时间：2019-04-27 04:45
【摘要】：死亡是一个自然过程。以前人们因为缺乏科学知识,通常把死亡视为恐怖的、神秘的。随着自然科学的发展,死亡渐渐不再神秘。尽管如此,死亡在众多文化中仍被视为禁忌。因此在讣告中通常不会直接提及死亡,而是会使用隐喻或者委婉语进行替代。讣告中存在着大量的隐喻,用来表达死亡这个概念。许多有关死亡的隐喻和日常生活经验息息相关。美国认知语言学家莱考夫和约翰逊认为,隐喻本质上是一种认知行为,即通过一种熟悉的具体的概念或过程(来源域)来理解和体验另一种陌生的抽象的概念或过程(目标域),两类概念通过相似性建立起了一种映射关系。本文尝试在概念隐喻理论框架下,以中德讣告为例,对中德讣告中关于“死亡”的隐喻进行分析,试图解释“死亡”隐喻的生成机制及其认知过程,即从来源域——日常生活经验向目标域——死亡的映射过程。本文从中德祭奠网站上获取语料,分别为三十八篇德语讣告和三十四篇中文讣告。在莱考夫和约翰逊的概念隐喻理论基础上,使用质性分析方法,对中德讣告中关于“死亡”的隐喻概念进行系统的对比分析,发掘中德讣告中异同点。语料分析结果表明,中德讣告在使用隐喻表达“死亡”这个概念时有共同点,也存在不同点。通过讨论发现,认知普遍性是中德讣告中隐喻共同点的原因,文化差异性则导致了其存在不同点。
[Abstract]:Death is a natural process. People used to regard death as scary and mysterious because of a lack of scientific knowledge. With the development of natural science, death is no longer mysterious. Even so, death is considered taboo in many cultures. Therefore, death is not usually mentioned directly in obituaries, but is replaced by metaphor or euphemism. There are plenty of metaphors in obituaries to express the concept of death. Many metaphors of death are closely related to daily life experience. According to American cognitive linguists Lakoff and Johnson, metaphor is essentially a cognitive behavior. That is, through a familiar concrete concept or process (source domain) to understand and experience another strange abstract concept or process (target domain), the two kinds of concepts establish a mapping relationship through similarity. This paper attempts to analyze the metaphor of "death" in the obituary of China and Germany under the framework of conceptual metaphor theory, taking the obituary of China and Germany as an example, in order to explain the formation mechanism and cognitive process of the metaphor of "death". That is, the mapping process from source domain-daily life experience to target domain-death. In this paper, 38 German obituaries and 34 Chinese obituaries were obtained from German memorial website. Based on the conceptual metaphor theory of Lakoff and Johnson, this paper makes a systematic comparative analysis of the metaphorical concept of "death" in the obituary of China and Germany by using the qualitative analysis method, and finds out the similarities and differences in the obituary between China and Germany. The results of corpus analysis show that the Chinese and German obituaries have some similarities and differences in the use of metaphor to express the concept of "death". Through the discussion, it is found that cognitive universality is the cause of common metaphor in the obituary of China and Germany, and the cultural difference leads to its existence difference.
