【摘要】 体育新闻标题作为报刊体育新闻的窗户,起着重要的作用。以往对体育新闻标题的研究集中于文体学和写作学范围内。Lakoff and Johnson提到隐喻不仅是一种修辞手法,更是一种思维方式。本研究试图对英汉体育新闻标题中的概念隐喻进行对比研究,找出英汉体育新闻标题中相同的概念隐喻和不同的概念隐喻,并从文化角度考察其异同背后的原因。本研究首先进行了语料收集,接着找出中英体育新闻标题的概念隐喻,并对其分类。然后对中英概念隐喻进行对比分析。本研究以概念隐喻理论为理论框架,研究方法是基于语料的定性研究。该研究发现,体育新闻标题中蕴含着大量的概念隐喻,中英文新闻标题中的概念隐喻大致相同,主要包括:体育是战争,体育是旅程,体育是自然现象,体育是表演。同时,体育是测试,体育是爱情这两个概念隐喻主要出现在中文体育新闻标题中。而方位隐喻主要存在于英文体育新闻标题中。此外,本研究描述了不同概念隐喻中的源域与目标域(体育域)之间的映射方式,并发现在体育新闻标题中,从源域到目标域(体育)的映射是部分的,却又是系统性的。该论文接着从文化角度对造成这些相同或不同概念隐喻的原因进行了阐释。基于对相同世界的认知和文化重合现象,中英文新闻标题中含有的概念隐喻大体一致。由于不同的传统文化和社会类型,中英体育新闻标题中存在少数不同的概念隐喻。本研究具有一定的理论意义和实际意义。理论意义表现在它为概念隐喻的思维普遍性和文化差异性提供了证据,从而丰富了概念隐喻理论;此外,它还有助于体育英汉新闻语言的跨文化交流和研究。更多还原

【Abstract】 As the window of sports news story, headlines play a significant role. Previous studies of news headlines mostly focused on the stylistic features and writing techniques. Lakoff and Johnson proposed that metaphor is taken not only as a rhetoric device, but also as a way of thinking. This study intends to make a comparative study of conceptual metaphors in sports newspaper headlines between English and Chinese by finding out the similar and different conceptual metaphors, and then discussing the original reasons from cultural aspect.In this study, a lot of sports newspaper headlines are collected at first. After analyzing the collected data, the conceptual metaphors in them are sorted out and divided into different types by the researcher, followed by a comparative analysis of the conceptual metaphors in sports newspaper headlines between English and Chinese. The theoretical framework of the study is the Conceptual Metaphor Theory. The research approach is mainly based on quantitative study with the aid of data collection. The study finds that conceptual metaphor pervades in sports newspaper headlines. There are four similar conceptual metaphors in Chinese and English sports newspaper headlines which are SPORT IS WAR, SPORT IS JOURNEY, SPORT IS NATURAL PHENOMENON and SPORT IS SHOW. At the same time, conceptual metaphors SPORT IS TEST and SPORT IS ROMANCE are mainly distributed in Chinese sports newspaper headlines, while orientational metaphors GOOD IS UP, BAD IS DOWN mainly in English sports newspaper headlines. Besides, the study gives the mapping ways from the source domain to the target domain (SPORT) in different conceptual metaphors, and finds that the mapping from the sorce domain to the target domain (SPORT) is partly but systematical. The reasons why there are similar and different conceptual metaphors in Chinese and English sports newspaper headlines are discussed from the perspective of culture. Because of the same cognition of the same world and cultural overlapping, there are more similar metaphors between the two languages than different metaphors originating from different traditional cultures and different social types. This study has both theoretical significance and practical significance. It provides evidences for the universality of metaphorical thinking and cultural diversity of conceptual metaphors and enriches the Conceptual Metaphor Theory. Besides, the study contributes to the intercultural communication and research between English and Chinese.更多还原
