隐喻不仅是一种修辞方法,而且是一种人们普遍使用的认知手段和思维方式。隐喻的本质是将熟悉的概念域映射到陌生的概念域里,从而生成新的概念,帮助人们来理解陌生事物。而人体作为人类最熟悉的事物对人类思维和概念的形成具有重要的意义。本文将从认知语言学隐喻的角度,对英汉人体词的隐喻认知特点进行研究,探索英汉两种语言在这方面的共性和差异。
Metaphor is not only a rhetorical method, but also a commonly used cognitive means and way of thinking. The essence of metaphor is to map the familiar concept domain into a strange concept domain so as to generate new concepts and help people to understand strange things. The human body, as the most familiar thing to human, is of great significance to the formation of human thinking and concepts. This article will study the metaphorical cognitive features of human-body words in English and Chinese from the perspective of cognitive linguistics metaphors and explore the commonalities and differences between English and Chinese in this respect.
