Reflection on and Review of the Explanation Mechanism of Metaphorical Meaning:ATribute to the 100th Anniversary of Modern Semantics
In ongoing discussions on metaphorical mechanisms,scholars often excessively focus on the cognitive mechanisms and conceptual functions of metaphors,while neglecting the cornerstone and foundation of their composition.Fundamentally,metaphor is also a semantic phenomenon,and the interpretation and analysis of its meaning is the prerequisite and basis for conducting in-depth and systematic research on metaphor.This article,on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the publication of Ogden and Richards'masterpiece The Meaning of Meaning,follows the development vein of semantics for a century,and takes the exploration of metaphor in semantics as a clue.The research achievements of semantics scholars on metaphor are generally divided into classical semantics theory,semantic interaction theory,formal semantics theory,and cognitive semantics theory,and are combed and sorted out in sequence.While clarifying the abundant and fruitful achievements of metaphor,it provides assistance for the follow-up sustainable healthy development of metaphor pursuits.
