英语方位介词不仅表示两个物体间的位置关系,而且具有丰富的隐喻意义。当代认知语言学家认为隐喻是实现方位介词的语义从空间域向其它域投射的纽带。本文主要研究英语中介词through的空间意义及其隐喻扩展。揭示through的其它意义与空间概念之间的关系。通过研究through的空间隐喻,得出结论,空间隐喻不仅适用于up,down,over等常被研究的介词,也广泛适用于through等介词中。
English positional prepositions not only indicate the positional relationship between two objects, but also have rich metaphorical meanings. Contemporary cognitive linguists think that metaphor is the bond that realizes the semantics of orientation preposition from the space domain to other domains. This paper mainly studies the spatial meaning of English intermediary words through and its metaphorical extension. Reveal the relationship between the other meanings of through and the notion of space. Through studying the spatial metaphors of through, we conclude that the spatial metaphor is not only applicable to the prepositions studied, such as up, down and over, but also widely used in through prepositions such as through.
