Abstract

The present contribution focuses on one speci ﬁ c ﬁ gurative usage of proper nouns, namely paragon names, currently employed as derogatory or scornful terms in the debate about public affairs in Poland, as exempli ﬁ ed by the sentence Dlatego Kaczy ń scy - PL i Trumpy - PL wygrywaj ą wybory 1 [That is why Kaczy ń skis and Trumps win elections]. The article argues that metonymic approaches advocated by cognitive linguists (Lakoff 1987, Kövecses and Radden 1998, Barcelona 2003, 2004, Brdar and Brdar-Szabó 2007, and Bierwiaczonek (2013, in press) proffer a more felicitous and precise explanation of the motivational processes behind paragonic uses of names than the metaphoric model advanced in Polish onomastic research, represented, among others, by Kosyl (1978), Kaleta (1998), Cie ś likowa (2006) and Rutkowski (2007a, 2007b, 2008, 2012, 2017). We provide a detailed discussion of the recent cognitive linguistic literature on paragons, followed by an analysis of two Polish examples of paragonic uses, which serve as illustration of the explanatory power of selected metonymic frameworks presented in the paper.

政治话语中专名典范使用背后的转喻动机:认知语言学研究

目前的贡献集中在专有名词的一种具体的比喻用法，即典范名，目前在波兰的公共事务辩论中用作贬义或轻蔑的术语，例如句子latego Kaczy ' szy - PL i Trumpy - PL wygrywaj ' wybory 1[这就是为什么卡奇斯基斯和特朗普赢得选举]。本文认为，认知语言学家(Lakoff 1987, Kövecses and Radden 1998, Barcelona 2003, 2004, Brdar and Brdar-Szabó 2007，以及Bierwiaczonek (2013, in press)所倡导的转喻方法，比波兰onomastic研究中提出的隐喻模型(Kosyl (1978)， Kaleta (1998)， Cie zavlikowa(2006)和Rutkowski (2007a, 2007b, 2008, 2012)所代表的隐喻模型更贴切和准确地解释了名字典范使用背后的动机过程。2017)。我们对最近关于典范的认知语言学文献进行了详细的讨论，然后分析了波兰两个典范使用的例子，这些例子说明了本文中提出的转喻框架的解释力。
