六宗罪委婉语的认知研究

论文摘要

本文旨在通过运用转喻理论对六宗罪委婉语的分析研究,来探求:(1)转喻机制在此类委婉语中的作用;(2)此类委婉语中转喻的认知基础。首先,综述了有关转喻的理论,对形成转喻的理想化认知模式,转喻形成的原则,转喻的分类,以及转喻与隐喻的关系等理论详细介绍。其次,运用所述理论,在因果模式,类别模式,物体模式,容器模式,生产模式,事件模式,和隐喻中分别分析有关六宗罪的委婉语。分析表明,在各模式运作过程中,模式中的源域(委婉语的字面意义)代替目标域(委婉语的禁忌意义),能避免目标域在社会中的消极影响。第三,作者对所分析的委婉语中的各模式根源进行归类与研究,以探求模式的来源。最后,分析与研究得出的结论是:(1)大部分有关六宗罪的委婉语以转喻为基础。(2)在此类委婉语中,人类生活中的文化与生理经验等是大量转喻模式的认知基础。
