在英语中,动物词汇丰富。它们是人类智慧的结晶,是富于色彩的语言形式,是语言的精华,具有生动形象、喻义明显、富于哲理的语言特征。在一定程度上,反映了英语民族的文化特点。英语中有许多有关动物的词语,这些动物词被大量的应用着,这就引起了语言学家的注意。他们把动物词与修辞格联系起来,对有关的人或物的外貌、特征、品质和动作进行描写,从而达到表达生动、鲜明、准确、简练的目的。英语中修辞格有二十多种,但与动物词关系密切的大体有明喻(simile)、暗喻(metaphor)、借代(metonymy&synecdoche)、拟人(personification)。本文对英语中的动物词汇与修辞格的表达做了一些初步的探究。
