摘　　要：国内外一些学者主要从概念邻近性对转喻进行认知研究。这种转喻观是以结构主义的空间邻近性为基础,并从认知角度对其研究进行了拓展。但认知框架下的概念邻近性转喻观研究仍有一些不足,如未说明转喻是实体间关系还是域间关系,未澄清转喻是否必须要发生指称行为,未探讨影响常规转喻和新奇转喻形成的因素等。从概念邻近性角度对转喻定义不应忽视认知原则和交际原则的影响,概念邻近性转喻观仍有待研究。Currently, scholars have focused on the cognitive study of metonymy from the perspective of conceptual contiguity, which is grounded on the traditional structuralist definition of metonymy and regarded as its extension. However, there exist three shortcomings in the study of metonymy from the conceptual contiguity＇s perspective. It is unclear whether metonymy is a relationship between entities or between domains and whether metonymy is necessarily connected to an act of reference. Besides, the factors influencing the formation of conventionalized metonymies and novel metonymies remain unexplored. The impacts of cognitive principles and communicative principles on metonymy should not be ignored when metonymy is defined from the angle of conceptual contiguity. Therefore, it is still necessary to further the study of metonymy from this perspective.
