当代认知语言学认为,隐喻在本质上是一种认知活动,是我们赖以生存的认知方式,同时在语言的运用过程中还起着重要的衔接作用。隐喻的衔接作用不是表层的,而是暗含在语言背后的,主要是借隐喻机制的构成要素的前后关联性而将语篇衔接起来。本文将通过对《老友记》第一季剧本的分析,试论隐喻的语篇衔接功能。 Contemporary cognitive linguistics believes that metaphor is essentially a kind of cognitive activity, which is the cognitive way we rely on to survive. At the same time, metaphor also plays an important role in convergence.

Through the analysis of the first season play of “Friends”, this article tries to discuss the function of metaphor cohesion.
