摘要:

文章从“时间是金钱”的经典隐喻出发,深层次探讨隐喻句背后的真值条件,旨在消除将隐喻简单等同于修饰性的文学辞藻,或语义异常的逻辑命题等误解。通过回溯Reddy的“工具制造者范式”、认知语言学的体验主义、概念映射等理论框架,得出隐喻句实则像指称句一般,可解码共同经验与个体体验,且言语隐喻再现了某一件事的多层蕴含或某一物体的多维属性,进而弥合字面性话语中绝对性的“一对一”指称关系,同时反映了特定文化群体基于相应具身基础构建出的认知图式全景。

关键词: 隐喻, 命题, 体验主义, 概念映射

Abstract:

This article starts from the classic metaphorical sentence “Time is money”,deeply exploring the truth-conditions behind metaphorical utterances,and aiming to dispel misunderstandings that metaphor is nothing but a literary rhetoric of flowery words or a logical proposition of semantic anomaly.By retracing theoretical frameworks such as Reddy’s “Toolmaker’s Paradigm”,the experientialism in cognitive linguistics,and conceptual mapping,we conclude that metaphorical sentences,just like referential sentences,can decode shared experiences and personal experiences.Moreover,verbal metaphors demonstrate the multiple implications of an event or the multidimensional properties of an entity,thus bridging the absolute “one-to-one” referential relationship of literal discourse.Meanwhile,they also reflect the cognitive picture woven by a specific cultural group with its equivalent embodied foundation.

Key words: metaphor, proposition, experientialism, conceptual mapping
