传统隐喻理论认为隐喻是修辞学、文学或是文体学研究的对象。认知隐喻观认为隐喻不仅是修辞手法,更是人类普遍的认知系统和思维方式,是人类对世界进行概念化和范畴化强有力的认知工具。在分析概念隐喻认知体系的基础上,探讨了概念隐喻的系统性与连贯性,系统地阐述了隐喻的认知观。 Traditional metaphor theory holds that metaphor is the object of rhetoric, literary or stylistic studies. Cognitive metaphor view that metaphor is not only a rhetorical device, but also a universal cognitive system and way of thinking, which is a powerful cognitive tool for human conceptualization and categorization of the world. On the basis of analyzing the cognitive system of conceptual metaphors, this paper discusses the systematicness and coherence of conceptual metaphors and elaborates the cognitive concepts of metaphors systematically.
