概念隐喻的系统性基于life的概念隐喻考察

概念隐喻的系统性研究对于语言系统性的理解具有重要意义。以Life的概念隐喻为例,从概念隐喻与其隐喻表达之间的系统性、相同目标域的概念隐喻之间的系统性以及相同源域的概念隐喻之间的系统性3方面探讨了概念隐喻的系统性。     

试论英语词汇中的概念隐喻及作用

＂隐喻＂是语言修辞手段之一,是认知语言学的一个重要组成部分,也是人类一种普遍的思维方式。从隐喻入手学习英语词汇,有益于突破传统英语词汇教学的弊端,提高学生的隐喻性思维能力。该文介绍了概念隐喻的含义,隐喻在英语词汇中的作用以及概念隐喻对英语词汇教学的启示,为英语词汇语教学提供了一种新的视角和奠定了良好的基础。     

现代汉语主观位移句的认知理据探析

在主观位移句中,位移动词用于描写静态空间场景,这种位移动词的特殊用法可以从认知角度加以解释。主观位移及表层语言结构的形成依赖于人类概念整合、概念转喻和完型心理等认知能力与认知操作。主观位移产生于对动态空间和静态空间的概念整合操作之中。在主观位移的语言编码过程中,凸像的选择性、路径信息的必要性和方式信息的受抑制性等语言特点也具有认知理据。     

英语习语的转喻认知分析

从认知语言学的角度对英语习语的特征进行研究。研究发现,许多习语与概念转喻有密切的关系,具有高度理据性;进而通过英语习语转喻理据的分析,获得由转喻理据特征对英语教学的启示,启发教师对自身转喻认知能力的提高和在教学过程中对学生进行认知转喻意识的培养,促进对习语含义的理解,提高语言习得效率。     

谈汉维语表示“愤怒”的概念隐喻

隐噙作为语言中的普遍存在的认知模式,各种语言或多或少都有相似性。许多语言中情感这一抽象的概念常常是用隐噙来表达的。汉维两种语言有一定数量的表达情感的隐噙,这些情感隐噙中有一定的共性和个性,这来源于人类相同的生理特征和情感体验。     

维吾尔族味觉词概念结构及文化探析

对比维吾尔语和汉语的味觉词汇,可以发现,维吾尔族和汉族对于味觉概念的切分存在巨大的差异。这与维吾尔族对立统一地把握事物的思维方式、中世纪维吾尔族的饮食矛质及维吾尔族原有的味觉概念的词汇体系等有着直接的关系。维吾尔语言表味觉概念体系的词汇现状,受维吾尔饮食文化发展和认知方式的制约是在漫长的历史过程中形成的。而且这种差异只是在与汉民族文化的碰撞中才能显现出来。     

中国“龙”与西方“dragon”文化对比

中国“龙”和西方“dragon”在中西语言中具有概念意义和联想意义,在中西文化中存在着差异性及其形成的原因。     

英汉表量结构中物量词的隐喻构建机制

从历时和共时的角度证明隐喻认知在英汉表量结构物量词的建构过程中的重要作用。在从共时角度分析英汉表量结构的隐喻现象的同时,试图对其中的物量词与名词之间的异常搭配现象作简要归纳。主要归纳出两类隐喻性的异常搭配现象:一是映射型名量搭配,一是错位型名量搭配,它们分别反映出不同的隐喻认知构建机制。     

Harried by Harding and Haraway: student–mentor collaboration in disability studies

Exploring the friendships of disabled youth in forthcoming doctoral research raised many unsettling questions. Members of academic and disability communities thoughtfully asked how the researcher could legitimately understand, interpret and represent the experiences of disabled youth. The initial impulse was to rely on nearly two decades of clinical practice with children and youth with disabilities; however, the futility of this strategy quickly surfaced. Uncertainty about how to proceed arose. A colleague and mentor suggested that a careful reading of Sandra Harding, Donna Haraway and Mats Alvesson and Kaj Sköldberg might provide the conceptual tools required to address these concerns. This paper presents a student’s stumbling, hesitant and sometimes ‘harried’ attempts to grapple with their unfamiliar arguments while simultaneously exploring tentative connections with disability studies. The evolutionary cycle of queries, responses and reflections from a series of e‐mails demonstrate a transition in thinking about research and representation.     

Developing a conceptual evaluation framework for gender equality interventions in research and innovation

In this article, we discuss the development of a conceptual evaluation framework to design and assess gender equality interventions and their effects in research and innovation. The conceptual framework presented herewith embraces the complexity, gender-sensitive and theory-based evaluation approaches ensuring that design and evaluation of gender equality interventions consider the complex systems that constitute the context in which the interventions operate. The evaluation framework offers a non-linear concept, where the notion of contribution - not attribution - to achieve impact is central to the integration of team, organizational and system factors in policy design and evaluation. The paper opens the “black box” to address the question of how and why a policy intervention works and in which context and discusses a systematic process on how to approach the interwoven linkages between input, implementation and effects in gender equality interventions in research and innovation, accounting for context sensitivity and methodological pluralism. The evaluation framework may serve as reference for researchers, evaluators, policymakers and other stakeholders in designing and assessing gender equality interventions, and in further developing their evidence, and theoretical and methodological base.
