解析语法隐喻的符号学价值及其实现路径

摘要

Perspectives directly influence our construal of the world around. Selecting different perspectives and bringing different cognitive elements into prominence will consequently generate different linguistic structures. Grammatical metaphor follows this cognitive path. The transference of a grammatical unit from one grammatical domain to another influences the structure, meaning and communicative effects of the linguistic sign. This enables grammatical metaphor to realize its semiotic values on the stratum of textual or social factor. From the perspectives of cognitive semiotics and social semiotics, this paper attempts to analyse the path through which grammatical metaphor realizes its values, and also attempts to bring the systematic research on grammatical metaphor to the field of cognitive semiotics and social semiotics.%观察角度会直接影响人们对世界和事物的识解和解释，不同的视角、突显不同的要素关系会导致不同的认知途径，产生不同的语言表达形式，语法隐喻完全符合这一认知路径。语法范畴从一个语法域到另一个语法域的转移使用对语言符号的结构形式、语义内容和表达效果都会产生影响，从而实现语法隐喻在文本因素层面和社会因素层面的符号学价值。本文试从认知符号学和社会符号学视角解析语法隐喻的符号学价值及其实现路径，把系统功能语言学范畴的语法隐喻研究纳入认善口符号学和社会符号学的研究范畴。
