| 抄録 | （和） | A major challenge in emotion language research is understanding how our abstract emotional reality is constituted cross-culturally and cross-linguistically. Comparing metaphorical and metonymic expressions between unrelated languages (i.e., English and Truku Seediq), this paper supports the position that both the universality and the variation in metaphor emerge from bodily experience, social-cultural experience, and cognitive preferences and styles. With regard to anger, both languages share the same central conceptual metaphor ANGER IS HEAT. While in English this central metaphor can be divided into two subcategories, ANGER IS FIRE and ANGER IS A HOT FLUID IN A CONTAINER, in Truku Seediq it yields three subcategories: ANGER IS FIRE, ANGER IS A BODILY FLUID IN A CONTAINER, and ANGER IS GAS IN A CONTAINER. In addition, the conceptualization of anger as fire is less diverse in English than it is in Truku Seediq due to specific details of living environment and lifestyle. In terms of happiness, both languages shares five major conceptual metaphors for happiness including HAPPY IS LIGHT, HAPPY IS UP, HAPPINESS IS BEING OFF THE GROUND, HAPPINESS IS A FLUID IN A CONTAINER, and HAPPINESS IS VITALITY. However, again unlike English, Truku employs INTENSITY OF EMOTION IS QUALITY OF A CHARACTER for happiness, as it does for anger, because the mother plays a crucial role in the process of a child?s socialization in the patriarchal Truku society. Furthermore, both languages follow the same metonymic principle in expressing anger and happiness by drawing on the physiological effects of the emotions. A descriptive difference is that Truku Seediq tends to utilize more internal and external bodily experiences than English in conceptualizing anger and happiness. This study shows that the variation in metaphor inevitably depends upon embodiment, social-cultural experience, and cognitive preferences and styles. It also provides empirical evidence, from a Formosan language unrelated to English, to support the claim that metaphor plays a crucial role in human reasoning, meaning, and understanding. |
