Cultural metaphors as means to contextualised understanding of child and childhood

The conceptualizations about children and childhoods enrich our understanding of adult–child interactions, educational practice, policy and child-welfare interventions. This study explored 42 cultural metaphors drawn from diverse socio-economic, geographical and linguistic settings to construct Indian childhoods. The paper reports an interpretative analysis of reconstructions leading to a typology of metaphors-in-use. The conceptual-analytical exercise helped unpack nuances and contextual meanings of metaphors. The paper argues for richness and subtlety in theorising childhoods, which is multilayered, situated and intertwined with contextual issues and tensions. The study offers methodological, pedagogical and conceptual insights and proposes possibilities for using cultural tools into inquiring childhoods.     

企业家演讲中的隐喻论证

隐喻性表达不仅可以使演讲变得形象生动，而且有时候会产生很强的劝说功能。在概念隐喻理论与图尔敏论证模型的基础上，从隐喻论证和语用论辩的角度，对企业家（以马云为例）演讲中所存在的隐喻性表达进行分析，探讨隐喻论证中的“反驳”要素，以及隐喻论证的劝说机制。     

多模态隐喻的概念整合分析——以政治漫画为例

近十多年来,国外对多模态隐喻的研究在Forceville等学者的推动下蓬勃发展,而在国内尚属起步阶段。本文尝试以Fauconnier和Turner的概念整合理论为基础,以政治漫画为语料,探析多模态隐喻在整合网络中的意义构建。概念整合理论对多模态隐喻意义的动态构建具有较好的阐释力,为多模态隐喻的理解提供了一个新视角。     

Helpers “Here on the Front Lines”: Welfare‐to‐Work Managers' Moral Identity Work

Using data drawn from telephone interviews with Ohio Works First program managers (N = 69), we examine managers' moral identity work. This work included using militarized rhetoric to evoke moral identities as honorable workers. It also involved signifying helper/helpful moral identities by defining what it means to be helpful, legitimating their helper identity through connections to caseworkers, and affirming their identity through telling success stories. Additionally, managers implicitly othered clients they viewed as needy and politicians they considered to be out‐of‐touch. Our research contributes to the literature on welfare‐to‐work, but also more broadly to our understanding of moral identity work and implicit othering.     

Mobility and Privilege Within Queer Studies and University

In this essay, the author considers how classist divisions present within queer studies may well be exacerbated by the institutionalization of queer studies within university. In particular, she examines the class privilege that attends both queer theory's and university's deployment of travel metaphors. In both cases, the language of travel is the potentially empowering language of intellectual agility and social mobility. Importantly, though, both queer theorists' and university administrators' employment of travel metaphors often serves to reaffirm cultural hegemony, specifically to sustain rather than to examine and combat social oppression. This sad irony is particularly apparent when one compares university representations of commuter and residential students. Thus, the question that faces universities is how to keep queer studies critically queer so that universities can recognize and address the various forms or models of social mobility that are present on their campuses, commuter as well as residential.     

苗族诗歌中的兴观群怨

以比较文学的研究方法,用跨文化的独特视角,借用中国古代诗论中的＂兴观群怨＂说去观照苗族诗歌。通过较为详尽的分类举证分析,证明了苗族各类诗歌同样具有＂兴观群怨＂的所有表达方式与全部功能。这对于包括苗族诗歌在内的苗学研究提供了方法论上的探索与进取,同时也以苗族诗歌研究的实证,丰富发展了中国古代汉语诗论的理论体系。     

比喻性"N1的N2"定中结构的甄别与认定

比喻性"N1的N2"定中结构在现代诗歌、散文中大量涌现,已成为一种不可忽视的语言现象,但以往的研究对其关注不够,并在认定该结构时有不够准确的情况.本文通过语料调查增补了大量新鲜例句;对非比喻性"N1的N2"定中结构进行了排除;在以往研究的基础上,利用谓词隐含理论,通过还原该结构的谓词,提出了认定该类结构的方法.     

从认知语言学角度看英汉语时间概念隐喻的差异

英汉语在“时间是空间”、“时间流逝是运动”、“时间是金钱”、“时间是实体”等主要时间概念隐喻及相应的语言表达形式中虽有很多相同之处,但也存在着差异。这些差异来源于英汉不同的认知和社会文化背景。
