人体部位习语的认知转喻分析

发布时间：2023-04-04 23:34

　　习语构成了人类语言的很大一部分,在人类交际活动中起着重要的作用。习语是语言中的精华和瑰宝,是人类智慧的结晶。自二十世纪六十年代以来,越来越多的学者开始关注习语的研究,并从许多方面(如意义、形式、功能等)对习语进行了分析。传统语言学认为习语是一种死喻,是约定俗称的固定表达,其意义是不可分解的。传统习语观给习语研究做出了很大的贡献,但是它具有一定的缺陷,始终没有跳出语言的层面。随着认知语言学的发展,认知语言学家认为习语是可分解且可推理的,其本质是概念性的。本文从认知转喻角度出发,主要研究了“头”、“脸”、“眼”、“手”等人体部位的习语的形成及理解机制,为其它习语的研究提供研究视角。研究表明,有关人体部位习语的形成不是任意且不可分解的,其意义是有理据的。概念转喻在理解有关人体部位英语习语中起着重要的作用。人体部位特征越突显,与其有关的习语数量就越多。最后,鉴于本文研究的不足,作者提出两点相关的建议。一是研究更多关于其它方面的英汉习语以证明概念转喻在英汉习语的形成和理解中起着至关重要的作用。二是基于认知机制,对英汉习语进行多视角的研究。
