Abstract

Abstract This article deals with the powerful role of metaphors in the process of Language Making throughout the history of linguistics. It departs from the assumption that metaphors play an essential role both in the formation of scientific theories and in common conceptions of language. We want to illuminate to what extent metaphors are involved in language ideologies, and we investigate their role in linguistic theory formation. After introducing different approaches to metaphor theory, we show how metaphorization in linguistics can lead to biological, territorial and liquid concepts of language. Finally, we discuss the need for a re-evaluation of language concepts within the discipline.

学者及其隐喻:论语言学中的语言制造
摘要本文论述了语言学史上隐喻在语言形成过程中的强大作用。它背离了隐喻在科学理论的形成和语言的共同概念中都发挥着重要作用的假设。我们想阐明隐喻在多大程度上涉及语言意识形态,并研究它们在语言学理论形成中的作用。在介绍了隐喻理论的不同方法之后,我们展示了语言学中的隐喻如何产生语言的生物概念、领域概念和流动概念。最后,我们讨论了在学科中重新评估语言概念的必要性。

期刊介绍: The International Journal of the Sociology of Language (IJSL) is dedicated to the development of the sociology of language as a truly international and interdisciplinary field in which various approaches – theoretical and empirical – supplement and complement each other, contributing thereby to the growth of language-related knowledge, applications, values and sensitivities. Five of the journal''s annual issues are topically focused, all of the articles in such issues being commissioned in advance, after acceptance of proposals. One annual issue is reserved for single articles on the sociology of language. Selected issues throughout the year also feature a contribution on small languages and small language communities.
