Abstract

Speakers regularly use their experiences of spatial relations to construe linguistic meaning in metaphorical and non-metaphorical ways. Still, we have yet to identify the meaning-bearing functions that different spatial relations commonly serve. This paper focuses on into relations. Using data from the Corpus of Contemporary American English, we apply an Embodied Scenes approach to identify the categories of concepts that are regularly construed with ‘into relations’1 and the actions that are commonly involved. More generally, we aim to show how spatial metaphors can be systematically studied by investigating the collocates of prepositions and prepositional constructions.

空间关系中的隐喻和非隐喻意义
说话者经常利用他们对空间关系的体验,以隐喻和非隐喻的方式来理解语言意义。然而,我们还没有确定不同的空间关系通常具有哪些意义承载功能。本文的重点是空间关系。通过使用《当代美国英语语料库》(Corpus of Contemporary American English)中的数据,我们采用了 "嵌入式场景"(Embodied Scenes)方法来识别经常被解释为 "进入关系 "1 的概念类别以及通常涉及的行为。更广泛地说,我们旨在说明如何通过研究介词和介词结构的搭配来系统地研究空间隐喻。
