| Metaphor is the way of thinking which we live by.As an abstract concept that we cannot define clearly,love must be constructed and understood by metaphor.Xu Zhimo is a famous love poet.His poetry related to love concept in his ten years of poetry creation accounted for 41%of all poetry.Therefore,it is of great significance to analyze the metaphorical construction and understanding of the love conceptual metaphor in Xu Zhimo's poetry from the perspective of cognitive linguistics.This article statistically analyzes the metaphorical expressions of the concept of love in Xu Zhimo's poems,which can be summarized as more than ten source domains such as people,plants,ice,fire,water,moon,sound,stars,gods,pairs,nature and so on.Each source domain projects to the target domain,which based on different physical experiences,life experiences,emotional experiences and social experiences,through empirical similarity and gestation psychology.The conceptual metaphor mapping completes the one-way mapping of the source and target domains on the psychological surface,while the metaphorical concept integration shows the operation of the fine combination between the two input spaces of the love metaphor from the perspective of multi-directional and dynamic integration of the psychological space."Love is person" and "Love is nature" selectively extracts the characteristics of human and nature to match the characteristics of love.After the process of perfecting the logic,it finally leads to the conceptual integration between love and people,love and nature.In the end,we infer that the psychological space of love,life and nature is open and multi-dimensional.Therefore,we make a conclusion that Xu Zhimo is pursuing love,beauty and freedom for his whole life,and love ideal,life ideal and natural ideal is three sides of love concept in Xu Zhimo's love poetry creation.Whereas,the metaphorical expression of Xu Zhimo's poetry love concept is influenced by historical traditional culture and direct experienced culture.The educational background and cultural traditions at home and abroad,together with the May Fourth Movement,the literary revolution and direct life experience,have promoted the construction of expression of Xu Zhino's poetry love concept metaphor.The article is divided to several chapters to mainly answer the questions about what love metaphor is,how these love concepts map and connect,and how to integrate the concept of metaphor dynamically in Xu Zhimo's poetry.Besides,it analyzes motivation of cognitive culture in Xu Zhimo's love metaphorical expressing.Chapter ?,introduction.This chapter reviews conceptual metaphor theory and concept integration theory,the research history and background of domestic poetry metaphor,and the research status of Xu Zhimo's poetry.What's^more,this chapter introduces the research methods,research ideas and research corpus.Chapter ?,conceptual metaphor.The chapter fully explains the necessity and feasibility in the metaphor construction of love concept,and the basis of love metaphor.On this basis,we can summarize the expressions and types of love metaphor and analyze the mapping of love metaphors from the target domain to the source domain in Xu Zhimo's poems.Chapter ?,conceptual Integration.On the basis of the one-way mapping of conceptual metaphor in the second chapter,we refine and perfect the process of conceptual integration of love metaphor and ratiocinate the dynamic concept integration process of "love is human" and "love is nature,,and further analyze the integration of"love","life" and "nature".Chapter ?,cultural cognition analysis.Based on the full observation of Xu Zhimo's love metaphor expressions and types and inference and ratiocination of concept integration,we analyze the social and cultural cognition motivation of love metaphor expressions from the perspective of historical culture and social background.Chapter ?,conclusion.Summarizing the content,innovation and deficiencies of the full article,and putting forward the prospects for the continued research. |
