摘要
为解释熟语的工作和理解机制,Lakoff和Turner提出了大链条隐喻。大链条隐喻是由"一般是具体"隐喻、存在大链条、事物本质、量的准则四部分构成的复合体。我们认为该隐喻具有两个源域、两个靶域和三种映射。在理解该隐喻模式时应注意三个问题:一、"一般是具体"在三种映射关系中只能说明其中一种;二、存在大链条只在理解某些熟语的内容时起作用,不能说明大链条隐喻的源域和靶域的分布情况;三、"一般是具体"的隐喻身份值得怀疑。
The Great Chain Metaphor--GCM--is introduced by Lakoff and Turner to explain the work mechanism of proverbs. The GCM is a complex of four components： GENERIC IS SPECIFIC metaphor, the Great Chain of Being, the Nature of Things, Maxim of Quantity. There are two source domains, two target domains and three mappings in GCM. Three problems should be paid attention to in understanding GCM. Firstly, only one of the three mappings is in concord with GENERIC IS SPECIFIC metaphor. Secondly, the Great Chain works only in explaining the content of some proverbs and cannot give us any idea about the distribution of GCM＇s source and target domains. Thirdly, GENERIC IS SPECIFIC is a typical metonymy other than metaphor.
