摘要: "兵"是军语中的基本语词之一,其使用频率高,构词力强。依据认知语义学中的隐喻和转喻理论对"兵"的语义扩展认知机制进行分析,可以发现,在"兵"的语义扩展的过程中,语义的辐射型变化交织着连锁型变化,隐喻和转喻从中共同发挥作用,它们是其语义发展的两条主要认知途径。考察"兵"的语义扩展可以为认识军语语义扩展的普遍规律提供启示。

Abstract: The Chinese character “兵” is one of the basic words in Chinese military terms, with a high frequency of use and a strong power of word formation. A cognitive study of its semantic extension, in light of the metaphor and metonymy theories in cognitive semantics, reveals that its meaning extends and changes in a spokewise fashion interlaced by a concatenate pattern, in which metaphorical and metonymic mappings are interwoven, and that metaphor and metonymy are two cognitive approaches to its semantic extension. This individual case reflects the universal law of the semantic extension of military terms. 
