摘要

“实干家”的隐喻是由什么构成的?在一项关于人类隐喻描述能力发展的研究中,我试图建立四个目标隐喻的语义场:人-苹果树、人-太阳、人-杯子、人-海豚。300多名年龄在19-26岁之间的年轻人(确切数字取决于刺激物)被要求解读隐喻的含义。结果主要是通过定性分析获得的,包含同义的聚类的频率计数。结果表明,在创造“善良人类”的想象特征时,年轻人关注三个因素:施主提供帮助(形式多样,但一致:施主给予希望,倾听别人的问题,分享工作成果,提供温暖和快乐等),施主的精神稳定(相对于情绪的突然变化,这与软弱有关),施主融合快乐和平静的技能。善意刺激的语义场要比邪恶刺激复杂得多。善良可能与智慧、成熟、慷慨、不活跃和生动联系在一起。美似乎没有人们想象的那么重要。研究结果可用于发展比较。

Metaphorical Descriptions of Well-Doers
Abstract What is a metaphoric picture of a “well-doer” made of? In a study devoted to the development of the ability to use metaphorical descriptions of humans, I tried to establish the semantic fields of four target metaphors: Human-Apple Tree, Human-Sun, Human-Cup, Human-Dolphin. Over 300 young adults (the exact number depending on the stimuli), both men and women aged 19-26, were asked to decipher the metaphors’ meanings. The results were obtained mainly by qualitative analysis, with frequency counts of clusters containing synonymous meanings. The results indicate that, while creating imaginary characteristics of ‘“kind humans,” young adults focus on three factors: benefactor provides help (which takes various, but consistent forms: he/she gives hope, an ear to listen to one’s problems, shares fruits of work, provides warmth and joy, etc.), benefactor’s mental stability (as opposed to sudden changes of mood, which is associated with weakness), benefactor’s skill of merging cheerfulness and tranquility. The semantic fields of stimuli addressed to kindness are more complex than the ones connected with evil. Goodness may be associated with wisdom, maturity, generosity, with both inactivity and vividness. Beauty seems to be less important than was expected. The results may serve for developmental comparisons.
