Abstract

The article discusses ontological metaphors with the target domain HEART in the text of the New Testament. It aims at exploring cross-domain mappings through the analysis of metaphoric expressions, involving lexeme heart, obtained by the Bible corpus analysis employing the method of continuous sampling. The research is based on the principles of Conceptual Metaphor Theory and proves its tenet that abstract ideas are conceptualized on the basis of knowledge about basic concrete things. It is stated that the two superordinate mappings involve domains THING and PERSON. Each of these mappings has elaborations and metaphoric extensions, which unravel the heart’s non-ordinary and unexpected features, justifying a different viewpoint to its understanding. The obtained results can be useful for adapts of Christianityб theologists and literary scholars as they provide insight into conceiving one of the essential theological concepts – HEART, deeper than its literal reading, which contributes to a more profound understanding of the Biblical messages.

什么是人类的心脏？

本文讨论了新约圣经文本中目标域HEART的本体论隐喻。利用连续抽样的方法对圣经语料库分析所获得的涉及词位心的隐喻表达进行分析，探索跨域映射。该研究基于概念隐喻理论的原则，并证明了其原则，即抽象概念是在对基本具体事物的认识的基础上概念化的。说明这两个上级映射涉及域THING和PERSON。每一个映射都有详细的阐述和隐喻的延伸，揭示了心脏的不寻常和意想不到的特征，证明了对其理解的不同观点。所获得的结果对于基督教神学家和文学学者来说是有用的，因为它们提供了对一个基本神学概念- HEART的见解，比字面上的阅读更深刻，这有助于更深刻地理解圣经的信息。
