A Study of the Merging of Cognitive Figures of Speech from the Perspective of Contemporary Metaphor
This paper probes into the internal logical connection between metaphor and metonymy,and distills the key ele-ments in the construction of macro-descriptive meaning.Metaphor and metonymy are interwoven with each other to jointly support the theoretical framework of cognitive rhetoric.Overstatement and understatement are literally opposed to each other,and they achieve specific semantic effects by adjusting scalar values.Irony seems to be contradictory,but it expresses a mocking tone.Para-dox and Oxymoron change the scenery by resetting the semantic frame to achieve semantic appropriateness.By analyzing the forms and semantic connotations of these rhetorical devices,this paper elaborates on their inner nature and mutual relations,and summariz-es the correspondence between conceptual representation and cognitive models,thus providing a theoretical basis for the construc-tion of a unified framework for rhetorical language research by filling the gap in the study of non-basic figures of speech.
