隐喻不仅是语言现象,还是一个可以使人们更好地认识世界的工具。认知语言学界普遍认为,在众多隐喻中,空间隐喻对人类概念体系的形成有着极其重要的意义,因为大多数的抽象概念都是通过空间隐喻来表达和理解的。本文通过对垂直性空间隐喻进行分析,论证了空间隐喻的语义特征,即非任意性、生成性、系统性和多维性,进一步深化对空间隐喻的认知研究。
Metaphor is not only a linguistic phenomenon, but also a tool that enables people to better understand the world. Cognitive linguistics generally believe that in many metaphors, spatial metaphor is extremely important for the formation of human conceptual system, because most of the abstract concepts are expressed and understood through spatial metaphors. By analyzing the vertical spatial metaphors, this paper demonstrates the semantic features of spatial metaphors, that is, non-arbitrary, generative, systematic and multidimensional, and further deepens the cognitive study of spatial metaphors.
