摘要:转喻的认知机制通常诠释为本喻通达概念之间的心智联系;形式表述为理想化认知模型及其概念构造。但是;在更精致的表述中;转喻的认知机制除了模型外;还涉及概念框架;更涉及框架中不同连通关系的双向选择激活。喻体的概念语义可以有四种;它们的认知过程同样需要在概念框架中完成。
The cognitive mechanism of metonymy is usually understood as the mental access from the conceptual vehicle to the conceptual target and formally accounted for within idealized cognitive models and their conceptual configurations.However,in a fine-grained account,the metonymical mechanism includes more than ICMs,but also conceptual frames.The cognitive process is not simply the mental access to the target,but also some bi-directional selective activation of interconnected relations within the conceptual frames.The metonymical targets are found to be understood in four ways and their cognitive processes should also be executed within the conceptual frames.
