概念隐喻视角下英汉动物习语对比研究
发布时间：2024-04-14 21:19
习语普遍存在于语言中并引发了学者们的广泛关注。动物习语是基于动物的某些特征通过隐喻化过程而构成的习语,是语言中结构简洁而意义丰富的语言形式,同时承载着独特的民族文化,反映出人类的认知活动。本文旨在认知语言学概念隐喻的理论框架下,对英汉动物习语进行对比研究。本研究主要回答以下两个问题:(1)英汉动物习语有哪些异同?(2)导致这些异同的原因可能是什么?本研究依据Lakoff和Johnson概念隐喻的定义,对所收集到的英汉动物习语所表达的概念隐喻进行分类,然后分析这些概念隐喻的异同,最后探讨其背后可能存在的原因。本文使用的语料主要选自英汉权威词典,包括Oxford Idioms Dictionary(《牛津习语词典》),A Dictionary of current English Idioms(《当代英语习语词典》),A Comprehensive Dictionary of English Idioms and Phrases(《综合英语成语词典》),和Dictionary of Chinese Idioms(《汉语成语词典》),有些例子选自网站http://www.ourdict.cn...
