本文从认知语言学的隐喻理论出发,认为语法化过程中存在着隐喻的手段,语法化本身具有隐喻特征。语法化的认知过程本身就是一个隐喻过程:语法化就是从一个概念域(源域)到另一个概念域(目标域)的意象图式的映射过程。这位我们更好地理解汉语语法化提供了途径。 Based on the metaphorical theory of cognitive linguistics, this paper argues that there exists metaphorical means in the process of grammaticalization, and that grammaticalization itself has metaphorical features. Grammatical cognitive process itself is a metaphorical process: grammaticalization is the mapping process from one conceptual domain (source domain) to another conceptual domain (target domain) image schema. This we provide a better understanding of Chinese grammar.
