【摘要】 反语是一种充满神秘的语言现象。人们正话反说,却能够被听话者正确理解。这背后隐藏着的秘密一直是众多学者所竭力探索的。虽然很多研究者已对反语的理解做了大量研究,但是很少对反语的触发机制作出细致研究。所以本文将运用概念整合理论,从认知语言学的视角来分析触发和推进反语理解的机制-百科知识,背景信息,逆向思维和相互性等。由这些触发机制导致空间冲突,然后听话者开始重组对话语的理解,最后意识到话语里包含的反讽意图。本文选取相关例子,从跨空间映射和以组织性框架投射为依据进行分类的五种概念整合网络两方面进行分析,即单一网络,镜象网络,单域网络,双域网络和多边网络。最后通过对例子的分析可以看出,反语涉及如下四种网络类型,即镜象网络,双域网络,单域网络和多边网络,以及三种跨空间映射类型,分别是类比映,对比映射和隐喻映射。借助网络模型的分析过程可以清晰地看到反语理解触发机制的运转过程。对反语意义构建的探索使得认知过程异常清晰,并且进一步证明了概念整合理论在心理认知过程中的巨大阐释力。此外,我们能更好地意识和理解这个隐形的心理过程并用这个理论解决一些语言问题。这一研究进一步证明了概念整合理论能完整地解释反语理解的内在认知过程,并且给反语的研究提供了一个不可替代的视角。

【Abstract】 Irony is a kind of mysterious language phenomenon. Speakers always present utterances in an opposing way, but hearers could understand it correctly. Most scholars have been painstakingly exploring the hidden secrets behind this kind of process. Although lots of researchers have made great ironic research, they rarely made detailed analysis on the trigger mechanism of irony. So the dissertation will analyze triggering and promoting mechanism of ironic interpretation--encyclopedic knowledge, context, reverse thinking and mutuality from the perspective of cognitive linguistics. These triggers cause the space contrast and then hearers could reconstruct their understanding to utterances and finally realize the ironic intention.The dissertation will use the theory of conceptual blending to interpret irony from the cognitive linguistics. Cross-space mapping and conceptual blending networks will be used in interpreting some relevant ironic examples. The five types of blending networks are--simplex networks, mirror networks, single-scope networks, double-scope networks and multiple blends. According to the above analyses, we could see that irony is relevant to following four kinds of networks--mirror networks, double-scope, single-scope networks, and multiple blends, and three types of cross-space mappings-- mapping in sharp contrast, analogical mapping, and metaphorical mapping. With the help of analytical process of network models, we could clearly observe the operation of the trigger mechanism.The exploration of the on-line meaning construction of irony can make the cognitive operation explicit and further prove that conceptual blending is a universal cognitive operation in our mind. What’s more, we can better realize and understand this invisible and unconscious mental process and solve some language problems with this theory. Through this study, it can be proved that the conceptual blending theory can completely explain the internal cognitive work in ironic understanding and provide an alternative perspective for the ironic study.
