陈巧玟开题报告.docVIP

本选题国内外研究的现状 概念隐喻这一理论最早由莱柯夫和约翰森于1980年在其所著的《我们赖以生存的隐喻》一书中提出，他们认为指导人们日常思维和行动的概念体系在很大程度上是隐喻性的，并开创性地把隐喻研究纳入到了认知语言学领域。从二十一世纪以来，在这一理论体系的指导下，国内外许多学者从词汇、语篇、第二语言习得等角度，结合大量语料，丰富了概念隐喻理论。 本选题的意义、重点、难点及创新点 意义：结合认知语言学相关理论，主要从概念隐喻出发研究艾米莉·狄金森的诗歌《因为我不能停下等待死亡》背后的隐喻语言机制，从而把认知语言学与文学结合，更好的理解艾米莉·狄金森在此诗中认识死亡和永生的认知机制。 重点：1.对“生命就是旅程”这一概念隐喻在此诗的分析 2.对房屋等实体隐喻的分析 3．对“toward”等方位隐喻的分析 难点：从语用学角度分析概念隐喻在此诗中的作用 创新点：把认知语言学与诗歌分析结合，认识诗人创作时的认知机制 论文的建构（章节目录）及简章说明 Table of Contents CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Background of the study Purposes and methods in this thesis Layouts of the thesis CHAPTER TWO LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1A general research on metaphors from the diachronic perspective 2.1.1An overview of the traditional outlook on metaphors 2.1.2A modern observation on metaphors 2.2 Former researches conducted on conceptual metaphor 2.2.1Conceptual metaphor applied in text analysis 2.2.2Conceptual metaphor and discourse coherence CHAPTER THREE THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK 3.1 A brief introduction to conceptual metaphor 3.1.1Definition of conceptual metaphor 3.1.2Classification of conceptual metaphor 3.1.3Mapping scope in conceptual metaphor 3.2Image schema reflected in conceptual metaphor 3.2.1The source-path-goal schema 3.2.2Container schema CHAPTER FOUR ANALYSIS 4.1An overall study on Emily Dickinson’s Because I could not stop for Death 4.1.1A general description of Emily Dickinson 4.1.2The gist and content of Because I could not stop for Death 4.2The analysis on Because I could not stop for Death based on conceptual metaphor theory 4.2.1 “LIFE IS A VOYAGE” as keynote through the poem 4.2.1.1Cross-domain mapping of the structural metaphor “LIFE IS A VOYAGE” 4.2.1.2 The source-path-goal schema embodied in “LIFE IS A VOYAGE” 4.2.2The ontological metaphor embodied in the images appearing in the poem 4.2.2.1Container schema reflected in the word “HOUSE” 4.2.2.2Analysis of the images from the perspective of ontological metaphor 4.2.3The
