Enacting Conceptual Metaphor through Blending: Learning activities embodying the substance metaphor for energy

We demonstrate that a particular blended learning space is especially productive in developing understanding of energy transfers and transformations. In this blended space, naturally occurring learner interactions like body movement, gesture, and metaphorical speech are blended with a conceptual metaphor of energy as a substance in a class of activities called Energy Theater. We illustrate several mechanisms by which the blended aspect of the learning environment promotes productive intellectual engagement with key conceptual issues in the learning of energy, including distinguishing among energy processes, disambiguating matter and energy, identifying energy transfer, and representing energy as a conserved quantity. Conceptual advancement appears to be promoted especially by the symbolic material and social structure of the Energy Theater environment, in which energy is represented by participants and objects are represented by areas demarcated by loops of rope, and by Energy Theater's embodied action, including body locomotion, gesture, and coordination of speech with symbolic spaces in the Energy Theater arena. Our conclusions are (1) that specific conceptual metaphors can be leveraged to benefit science instruction via the blending of an abstract space of ideas with multiple modes of concrete human action, and (2) that participants’ structured improvisation plays an important role in leveraging the blend for their intellectual development.     

基本概念隐喻与诗歌隐喻——从认知语言学视角对诗歌隐喻的解读

认知语言学提出概念隐喻理论,认为基本概念隐喻是人类组织概念系统的基础。通过分析基本隐喻与诗歌隐喻的关系,可知后者是以前者为基础展开的,其展开途径表现为拓展对应关系、增加细节描述、整合多个隐喻和质疑常规隐喻四种。     

文化全球化背景下的隐喻翻译

隐喻的翻译是一个与文化息息相关的复杂活动。随着经济全球化的发展,文化全球化已成了必然的趋势,这也必然会给隐喻的翻译理论注入新的血液。就文化全球化这一宏观背景,探讨新的隐喻翻译环境下异化是隐喻翻译的首选策略。     

Thinking about the school most of the time: studio as generative metaphor for critical reflection

ABSTRACT

Busy leaders need time to reflect and renew. They need to consider the particularities of their school and the ways in which they can work with others in the school community to address pressing issues, as well as to make future plans. The metaphor of the studio offers some helpful avenues for thinking how this reflection might occur. Artists use their studios for respite, not knowing, generating new ideas, risk taking, integrating theory and practice, exercising criticality and developing socially just practices. Leaders might take a lead from artists; however, there are both space and time challenges to making the studio a practical possibility.     

政治隐喻的语境意义

简单介绍了隐喻和语境及政治隐喻的语境意义。政治隐喻意义的理解和语境之间有密切的联系。理解政治隐喻的语境意义十分重要。     

文学语境中隐喻的诗意效果探析

诗意效果是关联理论提出的语言的一种特殊效果,是属于语境效果的一部分,产生于通过一系列弱隐含来达到最佳关联的过程之中,其主要影响因素有隐含义与文体。隐喻越新颖及其弱隐含越多,其语境效果就越强,相应地其诗意效果也越强。在此重点探析诗歌以及小说等文学语境中的概念隐喻及创造性隐喻等的诗意效果。     

后殖民语境下《耻》中隐喻的解析

小说《耻》中有关拜伦歌剧的隐喻贯穿全小说,对情节的发展和主人公心路历程的转变起到了重要的作用。该隐喻是主人公情感的寄托,同时也折射了后殖民时期,白人殖民者后裔的困惑和迷茫,指出只有直面历史,遵守新社会秩序,他们才能获得新生。     

英语隐喻的联想特征与语境的关联

人类认识水平的提高，实践经验的积累，离不开联想。隐喻也正是在联想的基础上得以创造并被接受的。以相似性为基础的联想是英语隐喻的重要特征之一，而隐喻中的联想受到特定语言及化语境的制约，孤立的隐喻是不存在的。本从语言语境和化语境的角度出发，讨论了英语隐喻的联想特征。     

The importance of communication in teaching: A systems-theory approach to the scaffolding metaphor

Scaffolding as a metaphor for support of learning processes places focus on the relationship between the psychic and social aspects of those processes. This paper examines the conceptualization of this relationship in activity theory and in operational constructivism. The importance of a distinction between psychic processes, language and communication is especially emphasized and discussed in relation to understandings of empathy, inter-subjectivity, and distributed cognition.     

"蛇"隐喻在现实语境中的转化--从现代文学史上几首相关诗作谈起

“蛇”作为一个语言符码很少出现在诗中,而在现代文学史上却有五首诗与“蛇”有关,它们分别是冯至《蛇》周作人《五十自寿诗》（两首）,穆旦《蛇的诱惑》,郑敏《寂寞》。这五首诗均提到蛇,这在整个现代文学史上是一个非常有意义的现象,论文拟从“蛇”在神话中的意义出发,通过“蛇”在具体语境中的隐喻意味,挖掘其中的社会深意,并以此探究诗人在写诗时的心理状态。     

论隐喻理解与主客观语境

语言分为隐喻语言和非隐喻语言,非隐喻语言的理解离不开特定的语言环境,隐喻性语言更是如此.隐喻理解被看作是从始源域向目标域的映射,这种映射要在一定的认知语境下才能发生.从主观语境与客观语境两大方面探讨语境对隐喻理解的重要影响,得出结论：正确理解隐喻,离不开对语境的理解.     

对巴金从文意义的阐释及思考

巴金作为作家的经历是简单而奇特的，在我们身边已经很难找到拥有如此人格的生命，已经很难找到坚持用常识维系生命的真人。巴金给我们心灵的震撼是：他抱定一种天国之爱，却硬是要在魑魍魉的人世间穿行。而面对学当下的境遇，我们必须返回常识，返回到自身，返回到学本身特有的功能和魅力。     

主观语境视角下的隐喻识别及理解

语境是语用学研究的一个基本概念,不同学者对其有不同的认识。综观国内外学者的各种不同观点,文章从认知角度对主观语境进行了界定并探讨主观语境在隐喻识别及理解两个方面发挥的重要作用,提出以下几点：（1）交际者在语境中发挥主观能动性;（2）新隐喻的识别要结合一定的语境,隐喻的识别与交际者的个性、爱好等即主观语境密切相关;（3）主观语境不同,隐喻理解的视角也不同。     

语境、隐喻与大学英语听力教学

文章从语用学角度分析语境、隐喻与听力的关系,从话语的语音、词汇、语法结构三个层面阐述了语境、隐喻在大学英语听力教学中的运用。作者认为这种运用对学生的听力理解具有指导作用,可促进他们对英语的驾驭能力。     

亚努斯的隐喻——去行政化语境下的学术精英角色与权力内涵分析

在当代学术体制运行过程中,学术精英在很大程度上构成了学术权力的行使主体,他不仅承担了学术共同体的守门人角色,而且也在学术与政治(行政)之间发挥了调停功能.但是,作为人神合体的学术精英所具有的两面性表明,没有行政权力的制衡和公开透明的学术内部和外部监督机制,没有约束的学术权力也同样可能带来学术失序的风险.
