职业概念隐喻的认知分析及应用

从认知语言学的角度，可以把有关职业的隐喻性描述归纳为四种主要的概念隐喻类型：生命体隐喻、旅途隐喻、竞赛隐喻和匹配隐喻。进一步分析职业概念隐喻的生成机制，发现：除了单个概念隐喻内部源域与目标域之间系统性的映射，还可以归纳出各个隐喻的类别特征即突显属性的映射，这些突显属性通过相似性直接映射到目标域——职业这一义域中，使作为整体概念的职业的特征更加完整。职业概念隐喻具有较大应用价值。

Cognitive Analysis and Application of Career Metaphors

From the cognitive perspective, the paper examines the daily use of metaphors in the conceptualization of careers and summarizes four key career metaphors --the career as organ, journey, competition and matching. After analyzing the generating mechanism of the career metaphors, the paper further finds that besides the mapping of the single career metaphor, there also exists the mapping of the category characteristics of the career metaphors based on comparability, thus making the conceptualization of careers more complete. The study on multiple career metaphors has not only theoretical significance but practical significance.
