我们赖以生存的隐喻
作者：
Robert Greene;George Lakoff;Mark H. Johnson
人们每次说话都使用隐喻。其中一些隐喻是使思想更生动或更有趣的文学手段。但大多数都比这更基本-它们是“我们赖以生存的隐喻”，我们甚至没有意识到我们正在使用它们。在这本书中，乔治莱考夫和马克约翰逊认为，这些基本的隐喻不仅影响我们交流思想的方式，而且实际上从一开始就构建了我们的感知和理解。结合语言学和哲学的观点，莱考夫和约翰逊提供了一个有趣的和令人惊讶的指南，一些最常见的隐喻，以及它们可以告诉我们什么关于人类的思想。对于这个新版本，他们提供了一个后记，既扩展了他们的论点，也提供了一个关于隐喻主题的当前思维状态的迷人概述。
People use metaphors every time they speak. Some of those metaphors are literary - devices for making thoughts more vivid or entertaining. But most are much more basic than that - they're "metaphors we live by", metaphors we use without even realizing we're using them. In this book, George Lakoff and Mark Johnson suggest that these basic metaphors not only affect the way we communicate ideas, but actually structure our perceptions and understandings from the beginning. Bringing together the perspectives of linguistics and philosophy, Lakoff and Johnson offer an intriguing and surprising guide to some of the most common metaphors and what they can tell us about the human mind. And for this new edition, they supply an afterword both extending their arguments and offering a fascinating overview of the current state of thinking on the subject of the metaphor.
