3、ies do in our daily life?Three stages of Metaphors studiesInitial stage(300BC-1920s):During this stage,Metaphors and Metonymies are studied as kinds of rhetoric devices.Aristotle,who first began to study the properties and functions of Metaphor,defined metaphor as the Transference of meaning between

4、 concepts in her book Rehetoric and Poetry.Representatives of this stages are Aristotle,Quintilian Second stage(1930-1960):Focus on the structure and meaning of metaphor.This is a period of time that regard as the transitory stage between the study of metaphor as rhetoric devices and the study of me

5、taphor as a cognitive model.Main representatives of this stage are R.Jakobson,E.Benveniste and M.Black.Third stage(1970-now):Metaphors and Metonymies are regarded as cognitive models and been studied within multidisciplinary fields.相似原则（principle of similarity）人们容易将相同或相似的东西看做是一个单位。这人们容易将相同或相似的东西看做是一

6、个单位。这一原则在概念和语言的形成中是最重要的原则。一原则在概念和语言的形成中是最重要的原则。顺接原则（principle of good continuation）在识别和记忆事物时，人们倾向于寻找有规律、变化小的整体。接近原则（principle of proximity）在认知上，距离相近的事物容易被看做是一个单位。突显原则（突显原则（principle of prominence）人们的注意力更容易观察和记忆事物比较突显的方面。相似原则&顺接原则是隐喻的认知原则。接近原则&凸显原则是转喻的认知原则。好的语言是一种圆满的实现，能表达人的感知本身所不能表现的事情。查理 语言学上，把由于两个

7、事物的特征上所存在的某一类似之处，而用指一个事物的词来指代另一个事物的演变方式叫做隐喻（Metaphor）。Metaphor involves using words from one domain to talk about the other.The domain from which words been selected is called the source domain,and the domain been described is regarded as the target domain.隐喻的抽象认知能力来源于对两个概念的“相似（similarity）”的认知。映射域即人

9、endent evaluations:restricted to the members of a specific culture.映射（映射（Mapping）隐喻不仅是根据对具体事物的认知模式来认识和构造对其他事物的认知模式，而是将整个认知模式的结构、内部关系转移，这种转移被称为源模式向目标模式结构的映射。隐喻本质上是一种认知现象，是思维相互作用的产物。它以已知喻未知、以熟悉喻不熟悉，以简单喻复杂、以具体喻抽象，以通俗喻科学。Metaphor not only used for poetic effect,also enables human beings to understanding

10、 and describing abstract things.And the source domains tend very often to be concrete,things that we can experience directly.While the target domains tend to be abstract.常规隐喻（conventional or dead metaphors）“通过长期建立的常规关系而无意识进入语言的隐喻才是最重要的。”（Ungerer&Schmid 1996:117）莱考夫（1980）把隐喻看做是人们思维、行为和表达思想的一种系统的方式，即隐

11、喻概念（metaphorical concept or conceptual metaphor）。结构隐喻（Structural Metaphor）以一种概念的结构来构造另一种概念，使两种概念相叠加，将谈论一种概念的各方面的词语用于谈论另一概念。TIME IS MONEYI dont have the time to give you.How do you spend your time these days?一寸光阴一寸金我们何不省点时间，现在就吃饭呢？IDEAS(or MEANINGS)ARE OBJECTSLINGUISTIC EXPRESSIONS ARE CONTAINERSCOMM

16、团文化和经验的沉淀。人们根据经验和文化传统来选择源域。源域与目标域之间形成一定的隐喻结构网，同一源域可以隐喻多个目标域，LIFE IS A JOURNEY,AN ARGUMENT IS A JOURNEY同一目标域也可以由多个源域隐喻。AN ARGUMENT IS A JOURNEY,AN ARGUMENT IS A BATTLE,AN ARGUMENT IS A CONTAINER,AN ARGUMENT IS A BUILDING常规隐喻创新隐喻结构隐喻方位隐喻实体隐喻文学隐喻科学中的隐喻转喻定义转喻定义1.Lakoff&Johnson(1980)Metonymy has primaril

20、 a pragmatic function,so that the target is mentally activated.转喻是从一个概念域，即源域，向另一个概念域，即目标域的映射。源域和目标域属于同一功能域，它们之间的语用功能联系使目标域在心理上被激活。转喻模式转喻模式Peirsman&Geeraerts 认为转喻依据接触力度（strength of contact）、有界性(boundedness)和认知域(domain)这三个层面向外扩展，形成转喻范畴。一、空间和物质认知域中的邻近性 1)空间部分与整体(SPATIAL PART&WHOLE)九州中国2)容器与容纳物(CONTAINE
