摘要
本研究通过对"隐喻是否具有确定意义"和"隐喻意义是否可被非隐喻性语言所充分描写"问题的讨论,认为特定语境中的隐喻具有确定意义(即说话者的意图意义),且该意义可被非隐喻性语言(即自然语义元语言)所充分描写。因此,隐喻意义具有可释义性。对Goddard隐喻释义模式的考察表明,尽管NSM理论可作为释义隐喻内容的描写工具和释义方法,但该模式并不充分。针对该模式的不足,本研究考察了其它几个释义模式,并提出了改进建议。
The paper explores the problems of whether a metaphor has a definite meaning and whether this meaning can be fully described by non-metaphorical language. The authors point out that a metaphorical usage of language does have a specific meaning( speaker's intended meaning) which can be fully described by a non-metaphorical language (natural semantic metalanguage), in other words, a metaphor's meaning can be paraphrasable. The paper also studies Goddard's metaphor paraphrasing model and concludes that although Natural Semantic Metalanguage Theory provides a good describing tool and a new approach for paraphrasing metaphor's content, the model still has room for improvement.
