從心理空間理論解讀古代「多重來源單一目標投射」篇章中的隱喻

Mental Space Theory and the Metaphorical Interpretations in Classical Chinese Discourse with Multiple Source Domains

所謂框架，或謂腳本（scripts）、劇本（scenarios）或場景（scenes），是一套包含各種經驗的整體知識，並且常賦予情境某種特定的角度。當我們使用或聽到某一個字時，關於這個字的一連串相關情境與概念常會被誘導出來。本文以心理空間理論為基礎來探討古文中的隱喻詮釋。文章探討一個詞彙如何誘導出整個框架，而被誘導出來的框架如何變成不同的來源域，並且投射到單一的目標域。此外，本文提出了「多重來源的單一目標投射」會凸顯目標域的不同面向，致使同一個目標域有不同層次的理解。

Frames, also known as scripts, scenarios, or scenes, are packages of knowledge about a coherent segment of experience, and they often impose a certain perspective on a situation. The coherent package of knowledge that surrounds a category is activated when we use or hear a word. This paper discusses the metaphorical interpretations in classical Chinese discourse within the framework of Mental Space Theory (Fauconnier, 1994, 1997; Fauconnier ＆ Turner, 2002). It has shown how an entire frame is activated by a single word and how the activated frames become different source domains which a single target attaches to. The mapping of different source domains to one target domain imposes different perspectives on a situation and accounts for multiple understandings of the same situation.
