基于定量與定性相結合的方法,本文系統地考察了現代漢語中的通感隱喻現象,歸納出了現代漢語形容詞的通感映射模型。與此同時,本文發現:1)現代漢語的通感映射規律,與西方學者提出的英語的通感映射規律并不完全一致,因而對通感隱喻具有跨語言普遍映射模型的假說提出了挑戰;2)現代漢語的通感隱喻受到感覺體驗性程度和感覺顯著性程度這兩個認知因素的制約。

This paper aimed to investigate synaesthetic metaphors in Mandarin systematically by adopting a combinative method of quantitative and qualitative analyses.Apart from a mapping model that has been generalized,the paper has also found that:(1)the regularities of synaesthetic metaphors in Mandarin are not the same as those proposed previously for English,which thus calls for a closer re-examination of the hypothesis of cross-lingual universality of a synaesthetic mapping model;and(2)the mappings of synaesthetic metaphors in Mandarin are motivated by the degree to which the sensory modality is embodied and salient,both of which being cognitive factors.
