【摘要】：本文重点研究科普文章和学术论文的概念语法隐喻的异同点。旨在以韩礼德的语法隐喻理论为依据,探索科普文章和学术论文两类文体中概念隐喻使用的异同点。本文把韩礼德的13种类型语法隐喻(见附录1)归类为经验隐喻和逻辑隐喻,而经验隐喻进一步分为以下4类:名词化,动词化,形容词化和有修饰性的名词。本文用了定量和定性研究的方法。首先,科普文章和学术论文两类文体中所出现的概念隐喻各个类型的数量和百分比均以表格的形式做了统计;然后,作者对各类数据进行了对比分析,并结合例子进行具体说明;接着,本文解释了导致两类文体的概念隐喻出现异同点的原因;最后,总结了概念隐喻在科技文体中的两面性。就概念隐喻在科普文章和学术论文两类文体中的分布情况来看,经验隐喻出现的数量远超过逻辑隐喻的数量。从经验隐喻而言,名词化类的概念隐喻在科普文章和学术论文中均居于首位,而其他类型的概念隐喻呈以下递减顺序分布:形容词化,有修饰性的名词和动词化;但是,学术论文和科普文章存在的一个显著的不同之处在于学术论文中的动词化类概念隐喻出现的数量要低于科普文章的数量,而前者其余类型概念隐喻出现数量均多于后者的数量。至于逻辑隐喻,它在学术论文中出现的数量要比科普文章中多。导致两类文体的概念隐喻出现众多相似之处的原因在于它们都属于科技文体的范畴,这类文体通常具有较强的科技性和理论性;而目标读者的差异导致两类文体的概念隐喻也出现差异。本文从概念隐喻的角度对比研究科普文章和学术论文有利于加强我们对该类文体的认识,启迪读者更积极主动地理解科学知识并获得更多科技信息。此外,本文也为英语科技文体方面的教学提供了一种较新且可行的视角。
