摘要
基于认知语言学所提出的转喻实际上多数属于连锁转喻,即转喻映射过程并不一定是一步就从源域达到目标域的,而往往存在多步骤阶梯式映射。这些已经被固化常规化的中间步骤往往被人们忽视了。固定或半固定的词汇模式为理解转喻提供了微观语境,这也证实了转喻意义的理解并不是语用学家所提出的是通过选择限制规则的检验而推理出来的。
The metonymy discussed by cognitive linguists is chained metonymy in nature. The metonymic mapping is a multiple-step procedure which has gone through many domains like a chain. Normally, those multiple steps are neglected by scholars. This reflects that those metonymic mappings are conventionalized in our mind. Since the chained metonymic extensions occur within fixed or semi-fixed patterns,the mierocontext of the lexeme enables hearers to understand the intended meaning directly. These findings support the claim that most figurative usages are identified through pattern analysis, rather than checking of selection restrictions.
