【摘要】 构式语法形成于上世纪八九十年代,是在认知语法等理论批判Chomsky语言理论的过程中诞生的,其直接来源有格语法、框架语义学、格式塔语法、认知语法以及中心语驱动短语结构语法。构式语法将研究焦点集中于构式上,主张将形式与意义,结构与功能紧密结合,并将其视为不可分割的形义配对体。构式语法是当代认知语言学的研究范式之一,是当前最流行的语法研究观之一。构式语法的创立与其创始者的研究背景密切相关。成语是人们长期以来使用、形式简洁、定型的词组或短句,是一种相沿习用、含义丰富、具有书面色彩的固定短语。成语在汉语词汇系统中占据着相当大的比重,在现代汉语口语和书面语中大量存在,是现代汉语中不可缺少的一类重要用语。《道德经》作为道家的主要经典作品之一,其语言流畅、结构严谨、言辞精辟,并蕴含着深刻的思想,一直是专家和学者研究的重点。《道德经》一书只有五千多字,但其结构严谨、言辞精辟,全文出现成语57个。本文基于构式语法视角,以Wiley《道德经》英译本为主要研究对象,首先系统分析了《道德经》中成语的结构与词义,其次研究其成语的隐喻及转喻特点,并探讨了成语翻译过程中的隐喻和转喻的特点,同时采用分类分析法和归纳总结法分析其中成语结构特点和成因。作者希望通过对《道德经》中成语的隐喻和转喻的特点的探讨,可以对今后类似研究提供一定的借鉴,更好地促进中国传统文化的传播和交流。
【Abstract】 Construction grammar was formed in the 1980s and 1990s on the basis of the criticism of the Chomsky language theory from cognitive grammar and other theories which include lattice grammar,frame semantics,Gestalt grammar,cognitive grammar,and central language driven phrasal grammar.Construction grammar focuses its study on the structure,advocating a combined study of form and meaning as well as structure and function,and regarding it as an inseparable unity of form and meaning.Constructional grammar is one of the most popular paradigms of contemporary cognitive linguistics.The establishment of construction grammar is closely related to the research background of the founders.Idioms are simple,stereotyped phrases or short sentences that have been used for a long time,and are a kind of fixed phrase with rich meaning and written color.Idioms,which occupy a large proportion in Chinese vocabulary system,are abundant in modern Chinese spoken and written language,and are an important usage in modern Chinese.TaoTeChing,one of the major classic works of Taoism,is fluent in language,rigorous in structure,incisive in words,and profound in thought,and has been the focus of research experts and scholars.TaoTeChing has only more than 5000 words,but it is strict in structure and brilliant in wording,including 57 idioms in total.From the perspective of construction grammar,the author of this thesis analyzes the structure and meaning of idioms in TaoTeChing based on Wiley’s English version systematically,investigates the metaphorical and metonymic characteristics of some idioms and explores the characteristics of metaphor and metonymy reflected in Wiley’s English Version of TaoTeChing,and also analyzes the characteristics and causes of these idioms,using taxonomy and inductive method.The author hopes that the study will provide some reference for similar studies in the future and can better promote the spreading and communication of Chinese traditional culture to the outside world.
