文章以认知语言学中的概念隐喻为观察视角,选取中美两国政要互访期间在六所重点大学的演讲为语料进行研究,以揭示政治隐喻背后暗含的意识形态。统计数据显示在中美两国政要的演讲中,其隐喻的类型多达21种,可见政治隐喻的丰富和多样性。总体而言,汉语中概念隐喻更具普遍性。文章同时对中、美各方前五种隐喻以及中美独有的隐喻进行了详细的分析、对比和探讨,发现政治语篇中的概念隐喻具有一定的民族文化色彩和约定性。另外,文章借助统计软件包SPSS16.0对中美政要运用的隐喻频率进行了显著性差异对比分析和讨论。在概念隐喻与意识形态的关系上,研究表明概念隐喻具有意识形态建构功能,而意识形态制约着概念隐喻的生成和运用。
Ideology has been the focus of politics and sociology. The research into the ideology in political metaphor has been done on the basis of corpus of the speeches of top leaders of both China and the US in six top universities of both countries. Data in the paper show that over 21 categories of metaphors are employed in these speeches, thus indicating the richness and diversity of political metaphor. Generally speaking, metaphors are more commonly used in Chinese. Also specific analysis, comparison and contrast have also been made concerning the top five metaphors as well as the unique metaphors in both Chinese and the US leaders' speeches. The research shows that conceptual metaphors in political discourse are characterized by culture and conventionality. Meanwhile the frequency of metaphor using by leaders of both sides is counted and analyzed in detail. Regarding the relationship between conceptual metaphors and ideologies, this study indicates that the former have a function of constructing the latter while the latter restrict the formation and application of the former.
