本文通过实验诱导法研究了汉语使用者的时空隐喻手势。研究结果发现:1)汉语本族语者的时空隐喻手势主要有“过去在上,未来在下”、“过去在前-未来在后”、“过去在后-未来在前”以及“过去在左-未来在右”四种类型;2)汉语本族语者呈现出“前后”时空隐喻手势最多,“上下”次之,“左右”最少的趋势。产生趋势差异的原因可能主要与汉语使用者的身体经验以及文化因素有关。整个研究表明,考察语言使用者的手势隐喻,有利于在多模态层面验证概念隐喻理论以及“即时思维”理论。
In this paper, Chinese users’ temporal and spatial metaphorical gestures are studied through the experimental method. The results show that: 1) the Chinese-native speakers’ gestures of metaphor in space and time mainly include “the past in the future, the future in the next”, “the past in the past - the future in the future”, “the past in the future - the future in the front ”And“ past in the left-future in the right ”four types; 2) Chinese native speakers show the“ before and after ”the most time and space metaphor gestures,“ up and down ”followed,“ left and right ” the trend of. The reasons for the differences in trends may mainly relate to the Chinese users’ physical experience and cultural factors. The whole study shows that examining the linguistic user’s gesture metaphor is conducive to validating the conceptual metaphor theory and the “real-time thinking” theory at the multimodal level.
