【摘要】 隐喻是一种普遍的现象,我们的生活中充满了隐喻。隐喻受到越来越多的关注,人们已经从各种不同的角度对其进行了研究。传统观点认为,隐喻是一种修辞手段。随着莱考夫和约翰逊的著作《我们赖以生存的隐喻》一书的问世,隐喻不再被视为一种单纯的语言现象,而是被视为一种思维方式被学习。隐喻是一种认知机制,以自己的规则促成人们概念世界的构筑。近年来,随着认知语言学的发展,隐喻研究从单一的语言学平台转移到了以认知为基础的平台上。在认知语言学观点中的隐喻主要指概念隐喻。认知方法拓宽了隐喻研究的范围。许多学者已经成功地在修辞、词汇、句法等层面上对隐喻进行了研究,但大多数学者忽视了隐喻在语篇层面上的研究。过去几年,越来越多的人开始注意到概念隐喻和语篇的密切关系并对此做了很多研究。概念隐喻在语篇中大量存在,而且有不可替代的作用。除引言与结论外,本分共分四章。引言简单介绍了概念隐喻的重要作用和论文的结构。第一章回顾了传统观点中的隐喻,阐述了隐喻的本质及运行机制。第二章重点讨论了概念隐喻。分别介绍了概念隐喻的概念、体验基础、分类、特点和基本作用。第三章重点介绍了语篇分析中的两个重要概念“衔接”与“连贯”以及二者之间的关系。第四章是本文的核心,文章首先分析了隐喻特征与语篇连贯之间密切的关系。概念隐喻的特征对语篇的连贯有着重要的作用。概念隐喻认知特征的映射性和互动性、语义特征的系统性与延伸性、语用特征的意图性与协商性都有助于语篇的组织和连贯。此外,连贯性也贯穿于单个隐喻以及多个隐喻中。概念隐喻的语篇功能也不可忽视,它可以使语篇生动、简练、客观、准确。衔接也是语篇分析的一个重要因素,概念隐喻的使用可以保证语篇的衔接。最后是文章的结论,对论文进行了简单的总结,提出了文章的不足和今后的研究方向。更多还原

【Abstract】 Metaphor is pervasive in our life. It has drawn much attention from scholars both at home and abroad and has been studied from various perspectives. Metaphor had traditionally been considered an elegant rhetorical device. Since the publication of Lakoff and Johnson’s work Metaphors We Live By, metaphor is no longer taken as a matter of language but a kind of thought. It is a cognitive mechanism that helps people to construct a conceptual world with its own principles.In recent years, with the development of cognitive linguistics, the focus of metaphor study has been shifted from a strictly linguistic plane to a cognitive-based stance. Cognitive linguistics has broadened the scope of metaphor study and the metaphors in it are called conceptual metaphors. Although much research on metaphor has been done at the rhetorical, lexical and syntactical levels, the study of metaphor at discourse level has been neglected by many scholars. In the past few years, more and more scholars began to pay attention to the relationship between conceptual metaphor and discourse.This thesis consists of four chapters besides the introduction and conclusion. The introduction is about the significance of conceptual metaphor and the organization of the thesis. Chapter one introduces the traditional views as well as the nature and working mechanism of metaphor. Chapter two discusses conceptual metaphor in detail. The definition, experiential basis, classification, features as well as the basic functions of conceptual metaphor are presented. Chapter three touches upon the concept of coherence and cohesion and their relationship. Chapter four is the core of the thesis. It points out that conceptual metaphors exist almost everywhere in discourse. Conceptual metaphors play an irreplaceable role in achieving the coherence of a discourse. The mapping and interactivity of cognitive features, the systematicity and extensibility of semantic features, the intentionality and negotiability of pragmatic features are favorable to discourse-organizing and discourse coherence. Besides, coherence may exist within a single conceptual metaphor or between two conceptual metaphors. The discourse functions of conceptual metaphor should not be neglected as it can make a discourse vivid, concise, objective and precise. Cohesion is an important factor of discourse analysis and conceptual metaphor in discourse can help to guarantee discourse cohesion. The last part is the conclusion of the thesis, which points out the limitations of the study and the suggestions for further study.更多还原
