摘　　要：拟人不只是一种修辞现象,它在本质上是一种认知现象,根植于人们的日常经验之中。从概念隐喻理论来看,拟人是一种最基本的本体性隐喻,是人的源域向非人实体的目的域映射的结果。从事件域认知模型来看,拟人可以把人这一源域中的行为要素映射到非人实体的目的域上,也可以把人这一源域中的事体要素映射到非人实体的目的域上。这种映射是单向的,即只能由人的源域向非人实体的目的域映射。在由人的源域向非人实体的目的域映射的过程中,被映射的行为要素或事体要素得到了突显。Personification is not just a figure of speech.It is actually a cognitive phenomenon in nature and is grounded in our everyday experience.According to the Conceptual Metaphor Theory,personification is a kind of ontological metaphor.It results from the mapping from the source domain of humans to the target domain of nonhuman entities.From the perspective of the Event-domain Cognitive Model,the two domains involved in personification can be regarded as EVENT1 and EVENT2 respectively.The mapping between the two EVENTs can only be unidirectional,i.e.from EVENT1 to EVENT2,but not vice versa.At the same time,the factor（s） of Action or Being which is mapped from EVENT1 to EVENT2 is also made prominent.
