【摘要】 本研究运用隐喻解释测验,对不同语言水平的251名1-4年级英语专业大学生和22名美国大学生的隐喻解释结果进行研究。结果显示,不同年级被试之间的隐喻解释评分数据并没有出现随着年级升高而升高的趋势,不同年级被试隐喻解释的语义视角基本相同,中外被试隐喻解释的语义视角也具有一致性。研究结果支持"语言水平不是影响隐喻解释能力主要因素"的观点,隐喻解释的差异性主要与认知因素有关。中国外语学习者的隐喻解释能力并不低于英语本族语者。更多还原

【Abstract】 With metaphor interpretation test,the differences of metaphor interpretation results of 251 Chinese English majors and 22 American university students are analyzed. The quantitative data of the interpretation task of the students do not show increasing statistical significant tendency from grade 1 to grade 4. The qualitative analysis of the semantic perspectives of the task shows consistent results among various grades,as is so between Chinese students and foreign students. Research results support the view that"language proficiency is not the determining factor of metaphor interpretation competence". Cognitive factor mainly accounts for the metaphor interpretation variances. Metaphor interpretation level of Chinese foreign-language learners is not lower than that of English native speakers.更多还原
