从认知诗学角度分析劳伦斯《蛇》中的概念隐喻
|
Abstract:
认知诗学是一种新的文学思维方式,它涉及认知语言学和心理学在文学文本中的应用。概念隐喻作为认知诗学的重要组成部分,标志着隐喻研究从传统的修辞学和语义学进入了一个新的领域。本文从认知诗学的角度对劳伦斯《蛇》中的概念隐喻进行研究。“蛇”一词不仅是诗歌的标题,在诗中还有“人”、“牛”、“信天翁”、“性”、“国王”等许多意义丰富的基本隐喻解释。本文对这些隐喻进行了详细的分析,并借助弗洛伊德的心理分析阐释隐喻创作背后诗人复杂的内心冲突,从而帮助读者更好地理解本诗。
Cognitive Poetics is a new way of thinking about literature. It involves the application of cognitive linguistics and psychology to literary texts. Conceptual metaphor is an important element of Cognitive Poetics, which indicates that the study of metaphor has entered a new field from the traditional study of rhetoric and semantics. This essay studies conceptual metaphors in D. H. Lawrence’s Poem Snake from the perspective of Cognitive Poetics. The word “snake” not only serves as the poem’s title but also harbors profound and meaningful metaphorical explanations in the poem including “human” “cattle” “albatross” “sex” and “king”. This essay made a detailed analysis of these metaphors, besides, it also adopts a psychoanalytic thinking of Freud to explain the complex inner conflicts of the poet when creating the poem by means of metaphors, so as to help readers get a better understanding of the poem.
