Abstract

The article presents an attempt to view the phenomenon of conceptual metaphor in the cognitive-semiotic aspect. The object of the study is the conceptual metaphor, the subject matter is its cognitive-semantic essence and the forms of its representation. The main thesis that forms the theoretical basis of the article is that the conceptual metaphor understood as the ability of our consciousness to think of one, more abstract entity in terms of another, more concrete, entity, presents a mental phenomenon that may have not only verbal, but other forms of its representation. The main objective of the article is to carry out the analysis of visual, artefact and ontological metaphors in the cognitive-semiotic aspect and the ways of their representation in the text. The main methods of analysis conditioned by the theoretical aspect chosen for analysis are introspection, or metacognition aimed at reconstructing the work of consciousness in the process of metaphorical thinking, and the inferential method aimed at reconstructing implicit metaphorical meanings. The analysis of visual (artistic), artifact and ontological metaphors reveals that they are characterized by the same qualities as verbal metaphors: dynamism, contextual variability and existence of two their varieties: trite metaphors which reflect ordinary thinking and original ones which are the product of artistic thinking. When ontological and artefact metaphors are presented in the text, their metaphorical meanings can be presented both explicitly and implicitly and, in the latter case, their metaphorical meanings must be inferred by the reader or the linguist. The participation of nonverbal codes in the expression of metaphorical meanings does not diminish the significance of the verbal code which is another proof of the leading role of language in conceptualization and interpretation of the world. The analysis undertaken enables to confirm the main thesis as well as to reveal the explanatory potential of the cognitive-semiotic approach to the study of metaphor and, most probably, other language phenomena.

认知符号学解释中的概念隐喻
本文试图从认知符号学的角度来看待概念隐喻现象。研究对象是概念隐喻,研究对象是概念隐喻的认知语义本质及其表征形式。构成这篇文章理论基础的主要论点是,概念隐喻被理解为我们的意识用一个更抽象的实体来思考另一个更具体的实体的能力,它呈现了一种心理现象,这种现象可能不仅有语言的表征,还有其他形式的表征。本文的主要目的是对视觉隐喻、人工隐喻和本体论隐喻在认知符号学方面的表现及其在语篇中的表现方式进行分析。根据分析所选择的理论方面,主要的分析方法是内省或元认知,旨在重建隐喻思维过程中的意识工作,以及以重建隐含隐喻意义为目的的推理方法。通过对视觉(艺术)隐喻、人工隐喻和本体论隐喻的分析,我们发现它们都具有与言语隐喻相同的特点:动态性、语境可变性和两种隐喻变体的存在:反映普通思维的陈腐隐喻和作为艺术思维产物的原创隐喻。当本体论隐喻和人工隐喻在文本中呈现时,它们的隐喻意义可以是显性的,也可以是隐性的,在后一种情况下,它们的隐喻意义必须由读者或语言学家推断出来。非语言符码参与隐喻意义的表达并不会削弱语言符码的重要性,这是语言在概念化和解释世界方面的主导作用的另一个证明。所进行的分析可以证实主要论点,并揭示认知符号学方法在隐喻研究和其他语言现象研究中的解释潜力。
