外交语篇中的概念隐喻对比研究——以中韩领导人外交演讲为例

A Study of Conceptual Metaphors in Chinese and Korean Diplomatic Discourses

Linguists had always been interested in conceptual metaphors in political discourse. An American linguist George Lakoff, conducted an analytical research on conceptual metaphors in politics including war, terrorism, and diplomatic language. As metaphors in diplomatic language are rich in strong political colors, directly related to the interests of each state, and given the differences in cultural and linguistic characteristics, it is urgent to address difficulties in conducting researches based on common denominators. Although South Korea and China are close neighbors with the Yellow sea between them, the two countries' diplomatic expressions are distinguishable due to their different political systems, state positions and linguistic habits. In order to avoid and minimize possible misunderstandings in diplomatic discourses between the two countries, this study attempts to analyze the conceptual metaphors found in diplomatic documents from South Korea and China by comparing and examining examples and to identify similarities and differences based on different political strategies, cultural and ethnic characteristics.

政治、外交语篇中的概念隐喻一直以来都是语言学家较为关注的领域。美国语言学家莱考夫(George Lakoff)就曾对战争、恐怖主义、外交辞令等政治范畴中的隐喻做出了分析和研究。其中，外交语言中的概念隐喻带有浓厚政治意图，关乎各国利益。虽然中韩两国是隔海相望的近邻，但由于政治体制、国家立场、语言习惯不同，在外交语言中，或多或少会有一些不同表达方法，无法统一归类，仍有很多研究空白亟待解决。为了避免两国不同的外交语言可能导致的误解，本文以莱考夫的概念隐喻理论为框架，借助语料库和统计软件，采用例证和对比分析法就中韩两国外交文本中的概念隐喻进行研究分析，并通过影响概念隐喻形成使用的网状拓扑结构，从不同政治战略、社会文化、经济发展等角度进一步深入揭示两国外交语篇中概念隐喻的异同点。
