混水摸鱼

闹得鸡犬不宁

聊以自慰的话

In 1980， (George Lakoff & Mark Johnson) made a "living metaphor" (Metaphors We Live By) of the book, a modern metaphor to open a new chapter in the school. Domestic academia on the "metaphor" This is also a review of the system, such as Lin Wu's book "Study abroad metaphor Looking at the" beam-setting "metaphor research," Li of China and India "The main subjects Metaphor" and so on.

 Reappraisal of metaphor

 Although some of Lakoff's research involves questions traditionally pursued by linguists,

such as the conditions under which a certain linguistic construction is grammatically viable, he is most famous for his reappraisal of the role that metaphors play in socio-political lives of humans.

 Metaphor has been seen within the Western scientific tradition as purely a linguistic

construction. The essential thrust of Lakoff's work has been the argument that metaphors are primarily a conceptual construction, and indeed are central to the development of thought.

 He suggested that:

 "Our ordinary conceptual system, in terms of which we both think and act, is

fundamentally metaphorical in nature."

 Non-metaphorical thought is for Lakoff only possible when we talk about purely physical

reality.

 For Lakoff the greater the level of abstraction the more layers of metaphor are required

to express it.

 People do not notice these metaphors for various reasons.

 One reason is that some metaphors become 'dead' and we no longer recognize their

origin.

 Another reason is that we just don't "see" what is "going on".

 For instance, in intellectual debate the underlying metaphor is usually that argument is

war (later revised as "argument is struggle"):

 He won the argument.

 Your claims are indefensible.

 He shot down all my arguments.

 His criticisms were right on target.

 If you use that strategy, he'll wipe you out.

 For Lakoff, the development of thought has been the process of developing better

metaphors. The application of one domain of knowledge to another domain of knowledge offers new perceptions and understandings.

 In , conceptual metaphor, or cognitive metaphor, refers to the

understanding of one idea, or , in terms of another. An example of this is the understanding of in terms of (e.g. "the prices are rising").

 A conceptual domain can be any coherent organization of human experience. The

regularity with which different languages employ the same metaphors, which often appear to be perceptually based, has led to the hypothesis that the mapping between conceptual domains corresponds to neural mappings in the brain.[1]

 This idea, and a detailed examination of the underlying processes, was first extensively

explored by and in their work Metaphors We Live By. Other study subjects similar to conceptual metaphor under the labels "", "" and "".

 Conceptual metaphors are seen in language in our everyday lives. Conceptual metaphors

shape not just our communication, but also shape the way we think and act. In George Lakoff and Mark Johnson’s work, Metaphors We Live By (1980), we see how everyday language is filled with metaphors we may not always notice. An example of one of the commonly used conceptual metaphors is "argument is war."[2] This metaphor shapes our language in the way we view argument as war or as a battle to be won. It is not uncommon to hear someone say "He won that argument" or "I attacked every weak point in his argument". The very way argument is thought of is shaped by this metaphor of arguments being war and battles that must be won. Argument can be seen in other ways than a battle, but we use this concept to shape the way we think of argument and the way we go about arguing.



 Conceptual metaphors are used very often to understand theories and models. A

conceptual metaphor uses one idea and links it to another to better understand something. For example, the conceptual metaphor of viewing communication as a is one large theory explained with a metaphor. So not only is our everyday communication shaped by the language of conceptual metaphors, but so is the very way we understand scholarly theories. These metaphors are prevalent in communication and we do not just use them in language; we actually perceive and act in accordance with the metaphors.
