摘　　要：徐盛桓所倡导的"常规关系分析理论",在自然语言的意义建构过程中起着至关重要的作用,是人们一种极其普遍的认知过程的反映。由于隐喻现象中同样包含着常规关系整合这种认知过程,该理论可用来分析和阐释隐喻的意义建构和推理机制。本文基于对徐盛桓的"常规关系"的理解,探讨其在隐喻的产生和理解过程中的地位与作用,并试图在他的"心理模型的常规推理理论框架"内,以相邻和相似关系为中介分析隐喻现象,旨在阐释认知隐喻意义是人们对客观事物的常规关系的认知加工、心理建模的结果。Stereotypical relation is a very general operation, which plays a fundamental role in the meaning construction of natural language. This paper,based on the understanding of Stereotypical Relation Theory by Xu Shenghuan, studies its impertance and functions in the meaning construction and reasoning mechanism of metaphors both psychologically and coguitively, and attempts to mainly analyze and interpret metaphorical language and meanings, with similarity and proximity as its key concepts, within the framework of his Stereotypical Relation Theory of Mental Model-based Pragmatic Reasoning, exposing that the meanings of a metaphor are products of coguitively processing stereotypical relation between relational entities by humans.
