“神一样的比喻”到底“神”在哪里?——有关双向比喻的思考

What Is Unusual about the Miraculous Metaphors?——A Deliberation on Bidirectional Metaphors

  • 摘要: 互联网上有一个图文并茂的帖子,标题是"神一样的比喻,让人拍案叫绝",罗列了20个神奇的比喻。"神一样的比喻"之"神"体现在两个方面:1)语言材料最简化,每一个比喻都像一个被折叠的纸玩具,必须一层一层地松开,才能从描述句到比喻句,从单向比喻到双向比喻。2)语义趣味最大化:喻底包含多个次级比喻,即"喻有多边",也大多体现"喻有两柄"。每个次级比喻都是一词两义,次级比喻与句型互动,形成一语双关的喻底。一词两义和一语双关均指向双向比喻的两边。"神一样的比喻"揭示了六条语言规律,它们都是比喻研究中的新发现。

     

    Abstract: There is a webpage with captioned pictures entitled Miraculous Metaphors which lists 20 extraordinary metaphors.What is unusual about the metaphors is that each of them has the highest degree of brevity.Like a folded paperwork, each has to be unfolded step by step in understanding from a descriptive statement to a metaphorical statement and then to a bidirectional metaphor.And secondly, each of them produces the greatest fun because their respective metaphorical ground embraces more than one secondary metaphor, i.e.the principle of metaphors' possessing multiple sides while most of them having two handles.Each secondary metaphor can be understood as polysemous while their combination is a pun as a result of the interaction of secondary metaphors and the sentence pattern metaphor.Every polysemy and every pun concern themselves with the two metaphors of each bidirectional metaphor.The miraculous metaphors reveal 6 linguistic laws and are new discoveries in metaphor researches.
