An Exploration into the Meaning Construction of Metaphorical Utterances:From the Perspective of Sociocognitive Linguistics
Sociocognitive linguistics proposes that language research should be approached from both dimensions of individual(mental)cognition and social cognition.From the dimension of individual(mental)cognition,the meaning construction process of meta-phorical utterances is a perceptual activity governed by the mechanism of duality of perceptual content,and this process relies greatly on the social context,which is the social cognition in metaphorical utterances'meaning making.This paper,by combining individual(mental)cognition and social cognition in metaphorical meaning construction,puts forward a model of metaphorical utterances'meaning making based on the dynamics paradigm of embodied cognition,and the model states that the meaning ma-king of metaphorical utterances is an emergent process by means of several factors and is thus of embodied,social and dynamic-systemic nature.
