空间隐喻一直是认知语言学研究的热点,而“前后”的空间隐喻认知却少有系统的研究。本文研究英汉“前后”空间隐喻认知的共性,描述英汉空间隐喻认知共性的表现,这包括两个特点:一个是空间隐喻的普遍性;另一个是空间隐喻转换的整体规律性。从而得出结论英汉“前后”空间隐喻认知共性存在很多领域。
Spatial metaphor has always been a hot spot in the study of cognitive linguistics. However, the spatial metaphorical cognition of “before and after” is rarely systematically studied. This paper studies the commonness of spatial metaphorical cognition in English and Chinese and describes the commonalities of cognition in spatial metaphors of English and Chinese. This includes two characteristics: one is the universality of spatial metaphors; the other is the overall regularity of spatial metaphorical transformation. It is concluded that there are many areas of cognitive commonality between English and Chinese spatial metaphors.
