摘要

本研究旨在发掘西城男孩精选歌词中的词汇隐喻。具体来说，就是揭示隐喻的类型和来源领域。根据TraxFM（2017）的数据，传奇男孩乐队最受欢迎的歌曲《再次发誓》、《如果我让你走》、《无翼飞翔》、《我有一个梦想》和《再次愚弄》被选为数据来源。本研究采用定性描述方法，重点探讨Kothari（2004）提出的研究对象的性质。由于所研究的现象是歌词中的隐喻，本研究采用了Schmitt（2005）的隐喻分析概念。这项研究的数据都是西城男孩乐队的五首歌曲中的隐喻（《再次发誓》、《如果我让你走》、《无翼飞翔》、《我有一个梦想》和《再次愚弄》），TraxFM（2017）认为这是男孩乐队有史以来最好的歌曲。使用MIP Praglejazz数据来识别所选歌词中的隐喻。研究发现：（1）所选歌词包含15个结构隐喻，24个本体隐喻，只有两个方位隐喻；（2）大多数隐喻都有一个具体的事物作为其来源域，如生物、旅行者、地点、火焰、日出、容器、鸟和物体。可以推断：（1）歌词以本体隐喻和结构隐喻为主；（2）隐喻主要由人类日常生活中熟悉的具体概念构成。将介绍详细的调查结果，并讨论其影响。

Lexical metaphors in Westlife's selected song lyrics

The study aims to discover lexical metaphors in Westlife's selected song lyrics. Specifically, it was to reveal the types and source domains of the metaphors. Swear It Again, If I Let You Go, Flying Without Wings, I Have a Dream, and Fool Again, which are the legendary boy band's most popular songs according to TraxFM (2017), were selected as the data sources. The study applied the qualitative descriptive method, the study focused on exploring the nature of the study object as proposed by Kothari (2004). Since the phenomena investigated are metaphors in song lyrics, the study adapted Schmitt's (2005) concept of metaphor analysis. The study's data are all metaphors in the five songs of Westlife (Swear it Again, If I Let You Go, Flying Without Wings, I Have a Dream, and Fool Again), which TraxFM (2017) considers as the boy band's best songs ever. The data MIP-Praglejazz was employed to identify the metaphors in those selected song lyrics. The study found: (1) the selected song lyrics contained 15 structural, 24 ontological, and only two orientational metaphors; (2) Most of the metaphors have a concrete thing as their source domain, such as living thing, traveler, place, flame, sunrise, container, bird, and object. It can be inferred that: (1) the song lyrics are dominated by ontological and structural metaphors, and (2) the metaphors are mainly constructed of concrete concepts, which humankind are so familiar with in their daily life. Detailed findings will be presented, and their implications will be discussed.
