本文在语言学领域内将研究重点集中在汉语反语,重点为反语的理解机理。本文认为反语不仅是修辞手段,且充分体现了人类思维的某种特殊认知程序,可以表征为“以此代彼”、“正反互代”的言外转喻推理步骤。同时从认知语用的角度,主要依据言外转喻理论,更深层次地研究反语这一用与字面相反的意思来表达本意的语言现象。 In the field of linguistics, this article focuses on the study of Chinese irony, focusing on the understanding mechanism of irony. This paper argues that irony is not only a rhetorical device, but also fully reflects a special cognitive process of human thinking that can be characterized as an extrapolated metonymic reasoning step of “taking this as an alternative ” and “reciprocating ”. At the same time, from the perspective of cognitive pragmatics, this thesis mainly studies the linguistic phenomenon of the opposite meaning, which is opposite to the literal meaning.
