【摘要】 依据认知语言学的概念和意象图式产生的隐喻机制和转喻机制所构造的委婉语,必然体现距离和相关两原则。隐喻机制所构造的委婉语,使源域到靶域的投射具有间隔性,体现距离原则;而投射所依靠的相似性,体现相关原则。转喻机制所构造的委婉语,因转体与本体的不同而产生间隔,同样体现距离原则;而其关联性因转体的突显强化委婉意蕴,体现相关原则。委婉语依凭两原则而构造,应和波澜壮阔、丰富多彩的人类交际被创造出来,不断地为语言宝库贡献珍品。更多还原

【Abstract】 Euphemism,constructed by the mechanism of metaphor and metonymy,is certain to generate two principles,i.e. Distance and Relevance. Euphemism,constructed by metaphor mechanism,its mapping of the source domain to the target domain is of interval,which embodies the principle of Distance; the mapping of the similarity embodies the principles of Relevance. Euphemism,constructed by metonymy mechanism,produces intervals because of the differences between vehicle and ontology,and it embodies the principle of Distance; the euphemism also produces the relativity through the proximity to vehicle,which embodies the principle of Relevance. Euphemism,based on the two principles,is constructed to come up with the rich and colorful human communications,and contributes continually to language treasury.更多还原
