英语中愤怒的情感隐喻研究_英语论文

A Study of Emotional Metaphors of Anger in English

摘要

情感是人类经验中最重要的组成部分之一。因此,如何概念化情感成为人们所关注的重大问题。人们使用隐喻来思考以及概念化抽象的事物。本文在愤怒情感隐喻的基础上就英语开展一个详细的调查研究。

本文中调查了大量的情感隐喻。通过容器,动物和孩子这些本体域映射愤怒这一喻体域。我们可以看出这些本体域来源于最基本的人类经验,比如容器,耕种,抚养小孩。众所周知,人类很长一段时间养育孩子,耕种,与动物打交道,使用容器。所以,人们面对大量抽象的事物的时候很大可能会运用他们的智慧从这些领域入手。本文有两个目的:确认以及描绘从本体域到喻体域的映射过程以及为何这么表达的原因。

本文一共分为四个部分,第一部分主要谈论“愤怒情感”的背景和研究目的;第二部分关于文献综述;第三部分是对愤怒隐喻的详细研究;最后是本文的结论。

关键词: 愤怒;情感隐喻;本体;喻体

Abstract

Emotion is one of the most important parts in human experience, thus how to conceptualize emotion is a big concern for people. People use metaphor to think and conceptualize abstract concepts. This paper is going to have a detailed study in English on the basis of anger metaphor.

A large number of emotion metaphors are investigated in this paper. These metaphors map the source of container, animal, plant and child onto the target domain of anger. We can see these source domains are rooted in the most fundamental human experience such as containment, farming and child rearing. As is known to us all, human have a centuries long experience of raising children, agriculture and interacting with animals and of containment, so there is a great possibility that people use their wisdom in these fields to make sense of a wide range of abstract target concepts. This paper has two main objectives: 1) to identify and describe the conceptual mappings from the above source domains onto the target domain of anger; 2) to find out why these metaphors are stated like this.

This paper can be divided into four parts. The first part talks about the background and purposes of the study of anger emotion; the second part is concerned about the literature review; the third part is the comprehensive study of anger metaphors. The last part is the conclusion of the paper.

Keywords: anger  emotion metaphor  source  target
