本文探讨了识别语篇隐喻所涉及的一系列问题。隐喻识别是认知隐喻理论中如何将文本中的语言隐喻与概念隐喻联系起来这一更为复杂的问题的一个基本部分。在第1节中,我们列出了一些涉及隐喻识别的一般问题。在第2节和第3节中,我们研究了20世纪90年代写的小说中的两个短篇小说节选(一个来自通俗小说,一个来自严肃小说),将我们的详细分析与文章开头提出的一般问题联系起来。因此,我们提出并举例说明了一系列不容易解决但必须掌握的问题:(a)如果要使基于语料库的隐喻方法成为现实;(b)如果要充分理解概念隐喻和语言隐喻之间的关系。有趣的是,这种极其详细和系统的尝试反过来又使我们对所研究的两个摘录中隐喻的使用在美学效果上的差异进行了评论。
This article examines a series of issues involved in identifying metaphors in texts. Metaphor identification is, in turn, a fundamental part of the more complex issue of how to relate linguistic metaphors in texts to the conceptual metaphors of cognitive metaphor theory. In section 1 we list a number of general issues involved in metaphor identification. In sections 2 and 3 we examine two short fictional extracts from novels written in the 1990s (one from popular fiction and one from serious fiction), relating our detailed analyses to the general questions raised at the beginning of the article. We thus raise and exemplify a series of issues which do not have easy resolutions but which must be grasped (a) if a corpus-based approach to metaphor is to become a reality and (b) if the relations between conceptual and linguistic metaphors are to be fully understood. Interestingly, this attempt to be extremely detailed and systematic in turn leads us to comment on differences in aesthetic effects between the use of metaphors in the two extracts examined.
