Abstract
Abstract:In this article, we look at the metaphors of "mirror" and "light" in medieval vernacular literature to examine the influence of their semantics on the conceptualization of cognition. We argue that "mirror" and "light" are traditional means to express and to reflect cognitive processes. Speaking metaphorically is thus intimately related to understanding concepts in general but also allows the shaping as well as the transmission of concepts. In support of our argument, we will, in the second part of this paper, carefully consider David von Augsburg's Spiegel der Tugend (Mirror of Virtue), which blends the metaphors "mirror" and "light" conceptually.
知识与启发:就是David von Augsburg中的“镜子”与“光”比喻,它用历史语法学和模拟性的表达方式来描述
摘要:本文以中世纪白话文学中的“镜子”和“光”隐喻为研究对象,探讨其语义对认知概念化的影响。我们认为“镜子”和“光”是表达和反映认知过程的传统手段。因此,隐喻说话与理解概念密切相关,但也允许概念的形成和传递。为了支持我们的论点,我们将在本文的第二部分仔细考虑大卫·冯·奥格斯堡(David von Augsburg)的《美德之镜》(Spiegel der Tugend),它在概念上混合了“镜子”和“光”这两个隐喻。
