法学是一门及其严谨的学科,法律语言自然也不例外。一直以来,法学者都将隐喻排除在法律语言之外,认为隐喻的使用会使法律丧失精准度和权威性。然而,通过对比国内外有关法律的研究可以发现法律语言中存在着大量的法律隐喻,如法律漏洞、法律移植、贸易壁垒、洗钱、黑社会、公司法人、公司住所、揭开公司的面纱、宪法是色盲等。这些法律隐喻现象引人思考,隐喻在法律语言中究竟充当什么角色。本文拟从认知的视角来对国内外有关法律隐喻的研究做一个简单的概述,探讨隐喻在法律语言中的具体运用。
Law is a discipline and its rigorous discipline, legal language is no exception. For a long time, legal scholars excluded the metaphor from the legal language, thinking that the use of metaphor would make the law lose its accuracy and authority. However, by comparing the relevant laws at home and abroad, we can find that there are a large number of legal metaphors in the legal language, such as loopholes in law, transplantation of laws, trade barriers, money laundering, underworld, corporations and dwelling houses, Color blindness and so on. These phenomena of legal metaphor attract people’s thinking and what role metaphors actually play in the legal language. This article intends to give a brief overview of the research on legal metaphor both at home and abroad from the cognitive perspective and discuss the concrete application of metaphor in legal language.
