目前，许多欧洲国家都在不断发展和扩大大学的继续高等教育。在德国，与英国、法国、芬兰和美国等国家相比，这一发展迄今为止相当温和。继续教育的地位似乎与实施过程的实际管理一样不明确，这一点在负责实施继续高等教育的人所使用的语言或语言表达中尤为明显。系统地分析语言，特别是隐喻，使我们能够阐明意义是如何归因的，以及所面临的挑战，由那些在大学实施继续高等教育。本文以德国的两个案例为基础，论证了隐喻背后可能隐藏的观点和问题，以及隐喻对继续高等教育实施的影响。
Many European countries are currently witnessing an increased development and expansion of continuing higher education at universities. In Germany, this development has until now been rather modest in comparison to countries such as England, France, Finland and the United States. The status of continuing education still seems just as unclear as the actual management of the implementation processes, something that is evident not least in the language or linguistic expressions used by those responsible for implementing continuing higher education. Systematically analysing language, and in particular metaphors, allows us to illuminate how meaning is attributed, and the challenges faced, by those implementing continuing higher education at universities. Based on two case studies from Germany, this paper demonstrates which perspectives and problems can lie hidden behind metaphors, and which effects this can have on how the implementation of continuing higher education is perceived and shaped.
