摘要

摘要本文采用Lakoff&Johnson的概念隐喻理论和Kövecses的普遍隐喻方法，研究了美国英语和波斯语两种语言中新冠肺炎的概念隐喻。分析数据来自美国英语中大量的新冠肺炎隐喻语料库，以及从主要的波斯语新闻网站中提取的较小语料库。分析的重点是检查所使用的概念隐喻的来源领域，并描述最常见的概念隐喻。我们讨论了这两种语言在谈论和概念化新冠肺炎的方式方面的系统相似性和差异，并强调了一些仅出现在波斯语中的新颖概念隐喻。

COVID-19 in English and Persian: A Cognitive Linguistic Study of Illness Metaphors across Languages

ABSTRACT This article investigates conceptual metaphors for Covid-19 in two languages, American English and Persian, using two approaches, namely Lakoff & Johnson’s conceptual metaphor theory and Kövecses’s approach to universal metaphors. The data for the analysis were drawn from a large corpus of Covid-19 metaphors in American English and a smaller corpus extracted from major news websites in Persian. The analysis focuses on examining the source domains for the conceptual metaphors used and describe the most common conceptual metaphors. We discuss systematic similarities and differences between the two languages regarding the way Covid-19 is talked about and conceptualized and highlight some novel conceptual metaphors that only appear in Persian.

期刊介绍： Metaphor and Symbol: A Quarterly Journal is an innovative, multidisciplinary journal dedicated to the study of metaphor and other figurative devices in language (e.g., metonymy, irony) and other expressive forms (e.g., gesture and bodily actions, artworks, music, multimodal media). The journal is interested in original, empirical, and theoretical research that incorporates psychological experimental studies, linguistic and corpus linguistic studies, cross-cultural/linguistic comparisons, computational modeling, philosophical analyzes, and literary/artistic interpretations. A common theme connecting published work in the journal is the examination of the interface of figurative language and expression with cognitive, bodily, and cultural experience; hence, the journal''s international editorial board is composed of scholars and experts in the fields of psychology, linguistics, philosophy, computer science, literature, and media studies.
