摘要

摘要本文探讨了语境是否在创造新的多模态隐喻中发挥作用的问题。或者,换一种说法,阿拉伯政治漫画家(作为几个重叠或等级相关的知识社区的成员)从哪里招募创造性的概念材料来进行隐喻?具体而言,它区分了隐喻的直接来源和间接来源,具体经验被归类为直接来源,交流(看电视、读书和报纸等)被归类为间接来源。话语,尽管是人类知识和隐喻的主要来源,却没有得到应有的关注。本研究利用300幅阿拉伯政治漫画的大型语料库,旨在填补这一研究空白。如果没有转喻和概念整合等其他解释操作,就很难谈论多模态隐喻。为了阐明这一点的含义,隐喻被视为融合的副产品;抽象领域的视觉表现需要从一个特定的领域中选择一个转喻或转喻链,在给定的上下文中,这个领域代表整个领域,并且具有显著的可描绘性。因此,讨论漫画家为什么使用一种转喻而不是另一种转喻是很有意思的。这项研究被认为与跨文化和认知研究相关,因为它还解决了知识的区域差异如何与隐喻创造力的相似变化和多样性相关的问题。

The creative minds of Arab cartoonists: metaphor, culture and context
Abstract This article addresses the question of whether context plays a role in creating novel multimodal metaphors. Or, to put the question differently, from where do Arab political cartoonists (as members of several, overlapping or hierarchically related knowledge communities) recruit creative conceptual materials for metaphorical purposes? Specifically, it draws a distinction between direct and indirect sources of metaphor, where embodied experience is classified as direct, and communication (watching TV, reading books and newspapers, etc.) as indirect. Discourse, albeit a major source of human knowledge and hence of metaphor, has received much less attention than it deserves. Using a large-scale corpus of 300 Arabic political cartoons, this study is intended to fill this research gap. It would be difficult to talk about multimodal metaphor without other construal operations such as metonymy and conceptual integration. To clarify the meaning of this, metaphor is seen as a byproduct of blending; and the visual representation of an abstract domain requires choosing a metonym, or chain of metonyms, from a specific domain that in the given context stands for the domain as a whole and that is eminently depictable. Thus, it is of interest to discuss why a cartoonist uses one metonym rather than another. This research is considered relevant for intercultural and cognitive studies, because it also addresses the question of how regional variation in knowledge is related to similar variation and diversity of metaphorical creativity.

期刊介绍: Text & Talk (founded as TEXT in 1981) is an internationally recognized forum for interdisciplinary research in language, discourse, and communication studies, focusing, among other things, on the situational and historical nature of text/talk production; the cognitive and sociocultural processes of language practice/action; and participant-based structures of meaning negotiation and multimodal alignment. Text & Talk encourages critical debates on these and other relevant issues, spanning not only the theoretical and methodological dimensions of discourse but also their practical and socially relevant outcomes.
