摘要
预设触发语是实现语用预设的基本手段。它可以是一个词、一个句子也可以是一种句法结构。本文从三个方面讨论隐喻也是一种预设触发语。首先,以Fauconnier的空间映射理论为基础,分析隐喻的工作机制,证明隐喻之所以能实现语用预设,主要是因为它通过空间投射使语言在使用过程中把那些形式上非已知的、非共有的信息变成已知的或共有的,从而隐蔽地向受话人传达信息。其次,隐喻预设也能经得起真假值的判断和“否定测试法”的检验。最后,作为一种预设语,隐喻预设具有其他类型预设所具有的全部特征。
Presupposition trigger is the key to pragmatic presupposition, it may be a word, a sentence or a semantic structure. This paper proves why metaphor is a kind of presupposition trigger. Firstly, on the basis of Fauconnier＇ s space mapping theory, this paper discusses how metaphor works. The reason why metaphor can produce presupposition is that during the process of space mapping, some unknown and uncommon information is conveyed to the addressees as known and common knowledge. Secondly, metaphor presupposition can be judged successfully by the true - false value method and the ＂negation test＂. Metaphor presupposition also has the same features as other presuppositions do.
