人体词汇隐喻的教学应用

论文摘要

认知不仅仅是一种语言修辞手段,而且是人类普遍的一种思维方式和认知手段。在日常生活中,人体隐喻主要依靠映射来实现。人类由近及远,由实体到非实体,由简单到复杂,由具体到抽象的认知规律,决定了人体器官是人类认知世界的基础。因此,人类把自己的身体作为认识其他事物的出发点,从自身躯体与外部世界的互动中获得经验,以此来理解和衡量周围的事物。隐喻是词义扩展的重要途径,作为认知和语言的纽带,在词汇学习中扮演着不可缺少的角色。人体隐喻作为隐喻的一种,也具有隐喻认知机制的相关特点。本论文从认知的角度,运用莱考夫和约翰逊的概念隐喻理论,对英、汉语中人体词汇的隐喻进行对比分析,着重探讨两种语言在人体隐喻表达和认知机制的异同,并从认知和文化角度分析其形成原因。通过将人体隐喻中体现的认知机制与英语词汇教学的研究相结合,发现它可以使词汇教学方法更符合人类的认知规律,从而能提高教师的教学质量,也能帮助学生掌握更为有效的词汇学习方法。
