摘要
商务英语新奇隐喻频繁出现,使商务英语更具生动形象性和可读性,但也给隐喻识解和翻译教学带来一定的困难。以往对新奇隐喻的分类及对其识解机制的分析方法是基于源域与目标域之间相似性的映射,忽略了跨域投射的语境参数的突显性机制。本文尝试以语境参数论为理论分析工具,对隐喻的突显与识解机制进行创新性拓展研究。语境参数具有对隐喻特征进行突显、映射、排除和强化等认知功能,为商务英语隐喻理解和翻译教学过程中的认知思维运作机制提供可阐释与可操作性的理论方法。
Novel metaphors are pervasive in Business English, making it vivid, imagistic and readable, but the problem is that they often cause difficulties to metaphor comprehension and translation. Previous studies of novel metaphors mainly focused on mapping of similarity between the source domain and the target domain and neglected cross-domain mappings. The present study attempts to explore the comprehension mechanisms of novel metaphors and tries new kinds of classification in light of Contextual Parameter Theory （CPT）. CPT, as an analyzing tool, can help to highlight, project, exclude and intensify the features of novel metaphors, which provides an explanative and operative methodology for describing and inferring the cognitive mechanism in metaphor comprehension. The study can shed some light on language learning and teaching of metaphors in Business English texts.
