隐喻与认知视野下“牛”意义的演变

摘要

牛的形容词意义是本身固有的，其衍化是人类在对牛性状的认知中经历了隐喻及转喻的过程，使其原型性状在各主体间经历了抽象与泛化，而且，人类对原型性状的这种认知及词义的转换方式是很多名词衍化成兼类形容词所共有的特性。%The adjective meaning of cattle is inherent, which is evolved through metaphorical and cognitive procedures. Its prototype characteristics are abstract and generalized. This is shared by a lot of adjectves derived from nouns.
