在概念隐喻理论观照下,我们选择迈克尔·杰克逊私人医生康拉德·莫雷案件审理最后一天检察官的陈词和反驳为语料,通过考察语篇中的言语隐喻和隐喻性手势,我们发现空间认知在本体隐喻、管道隐喻和时间隐喻中都作为始源概念以多种模态呈现出来。隐喻性手势的存在证明隐喻思维潜存于人的头脑中,言语和手势两种模态的使用共同体现了思维的隐喻性,空间概念作为人类基本认知方式在手势—言语隐喻中实现了从视觉到听觉模态以及从形式到意义的贯通。 From the perspective of conceptual metaphor theory, we select the prosecutor’s statement and refute as the corpus on the last day of Michael Jackson’s personal doctor Conrad Morley’s case. By examining the speech metaphors and metaphorical gestures in the discourse, we find that the space Cognition is presented in various modalities as ontology concepts in ontology metaphor, pipeline metaphor and time metaphor. The existence of metaphorical gestures proves that metaphorical thinking is latent in the human mind. The use of two modal forms of speech and gesture embodies the metaphorical thinking of thinking. The concept of space as a basic cognitive mode of human beings has been realized in the gestural-verbal metaphor Visual to auditory modalities, and from form to meaning.
