【摘要】：认知语言学认为，隐喻不再仅仅是一种修辞方式，更是一种认知模式，是自然的揭示者。莱考夫和约翰逊将传统隐喻理论发展完善成为概念隐喻理论，进而指出隐喻在本质上是一种发生于人类概念体系层面的“跨域映射”，即用熟悉和具体的概念描述陌生和抽象的概念。莱考夫和约翰逊从认知角度将隐喻细化为三类:结构隐喻，方位隐喻和本体隐喻。作家以其为基础并加以创造性发挥，艺术性书写，就营造了文学美的意境。纳撒尼尔·霍桑是19世纪美国浪漫主义作家，其代表作《红字》以隐秘深刻的寓意象征及细致入微的心理分析见长,通篇充满了象征和隐喻性语言，对表达人物抽象的内心世界和加深作品主题有深刻意义。本文借用基本概念隐喻理论并以结构隐喻为主，从认知的角度阐析《红字》中新奇独特的隐喻性语言，以揭开霍桑式语言的神秘面纱，系统完整地解读《红字》。首先，本文第一章从自然景物层面分析了《红字》中大量的自然现象及景观如流星、阳光、森林、植物、小溪等，并指出上帝存在于自然并隐喻于自然这一主题。在该章节，作者又分别通过“森林即伊甸园”、“阳光即上帝的恩宠”、“小溪即人生的镜子”等三个具体结构隐喻全面论述了作者借自然之手与上帝，与作品人物，与小说读者进行了有效的沟通。其次，作者在第二章节通过结合霍桑宗教观的矛盾性，解读了清教主义统治下的惩罚机器——刑台，概括出了“人生是一场戏剧”这一结构概念隐喻。最后，通过结合作品主体与作品前言“海关”一文进行对比分析，证实了前言与作品主体不可分割的联系，并通过对比“海关”叙事者与作品人物海斯特和丁梅斯代尔的人生历程，，进一步得出了“人生是V字形的朝圣之旅”这一结构概念隐喻。客观物质世界展示给我们的只是假象，而通过客观透露出的“灵性”才是我们认识世界的根本。在分析作品中隐喻某种神秘力量的客观物质世界的基础上，本文借助一系列概念隐喻全面解读了作者及作品人物思想复杂性与矛盾性的根本，进而更深层地去解读作品中人物的“罪”和“恶”。
[Abstract]:Cognitive linguistics holds that metaphor is not only a rhetorical method, but also a cognitive model.Lakoff and Johnson developed the traditional metaphor theory into conceptual metaphor theory, and further pointed out that metaphor is essentially a kind of "cross-domain mapping" that occurs at the level of human conceptual system.That is to describe unfamiliar and abstract concepts with familiar and concrete concepts.Lakoff and Johnson classified metaphor into three categories from the cognitive point of view: structural metaphor, orientation metaphor and ontological metaphor.On the basis of it, the writer creatively exerts his artistic writing, which creates the artistic conception of literary beauty.Nathaniel Hawthorne is an American Romantic writer in the 19th century. His masterpiece, the Scarlet letter, is full of symbolism and metaphorical language.It is of great significance to express the abstract inner world of the characters and deepen the theme of the works.Based on the basic conceptual metaphor theory and structural metaphor, this paper analyzes the novel and unique metaphorical language in the Scarlet letter from the perspective of cognition, in order to uncover the mystery of Hawthorne language and interpret the Scarlet letter systematically and completely.First of all, the first chapter analyzes a large number of natural phenomena and landscapes such as meteors, sunlight, forests, plants, streams and so on in the Scarlet letter, and points out that God exists in nature and metaphors in nature.In this chapter, the author, through three specific structural metaphors, "Forest is Eden", "Sunshine is God's grace" and "Creek is the Mirror of Life", discusses comprehensively the author's use of the hand of nature and God, as well as the characters of his works.Effective communication with the readers of the novel.Secondly, in the second chapter, by combining the contradiction of Hawthorne's religious views, the author interprets the punishment machine under Puritanism, and generalizes the structural conceptual metaphor of "Life is a drama".Finally, through the comparative analysis between the subject of the work and the foreword of the work "Customs", it is proved that the preface and the subject of the work can not be separated.By comparing the life course of the narrator of Customs with the characters of Hester and Dimmesdale, this paper further draws the structural conceptual metaphor of "Life is a pilgrimage in the shape of V".What the objective material world shows us is only the illusion, and the "spirituality" revealed through the objective is the foundation of our understanding of the world.On the basis of analyzing the objective material world of metaphorical power in the works, this paper, by means of a series of conceptual metaphors, comprehensively interprets the root of the complexity and contradiction of the author and the characters in his works.And then the deeper interpretation of the characters in the works of "sin" and "evil".
