【摘要】 作为一种特殊的语言现象,英语脑筋急转弯长久以来一直受到众多学者的关注。迄今为止,修辞学、心理学以及语言学视角的对英语脑筋急转弯的研究成果可谓林林总总,不一而足。但是,值得指出,这些研究均不能有效揭示英语脑筋急转弯的机制。有鉴于此,本文试图结合近年来发展的认知语言学的理想认知模型理论来分析并阐释脑筋急转弯的机制。本文在理想认知模型内,基于理论以及收集的语料,将英语脑筋急转弯分为两类:基于模型拓展的脑筋急转弯和基于模型凸显的脑筋急转弯。通过对例子的详细分析,本文证明了理想认知模型理论能够对英语脑筋急转弯提供更深更好的解释。因此,这项研究在理论和实践方面都有很大意义。本文主要关注英语脑筋急转弯的内部机制,为研究英语脑筋急转弯提供了新的理论视角和切入点,是对英语脑筋急转弯研究的一次有益尝试,但愿能够抛砖引玉。更多还原

【Abstract】 As a fascinating phenomenon, English conundrum has attracted the attention of scholars of various persuasions. So far, a multitude of studies of English conundrums have been made in rhetoric, psychology and linguistics. But none of them have proved to be effective for revealing the mechanism of English conundrums. In view of this, this thesis attempts to make a tentative study to analyze and explore the internal mechanism of conundrums in the light of Idealized Cognitive Model Theory developed in cognitive linguistics in recent years.In the present research, English conundrums are analyzed within the framework of Idealized Cognitive Models. Based on this theory and natural observation of the data, the conundrums can be divided into two kinds: conundrums based on ICM-extending and conundrums based on ICM-highlighting. Through examples each kind is discussed and interpreted in detail to reveal that ICM theory offers a better and deeper understanding of conundrums. Thus this research is of great importance in both theoretical and practical aspects.As has been discussed throughout the thesis, the present study provides a new approach for conundrums in English. Unlike the previous studies, this study focuses its attention on the inner mechanism of conundrums. Needless to say, in spite of limitations in the research per se, observing and addressing English conundrums by virtue of Idealized Cognitive Models is a good point of departure.更多还原
