摘　　要：本研究以"隐喻性消逝"、"丢失语源"、"孤立性"、"语义正常"这四类特征为标尺梳理了既有死隐喻研究,并重新定义了死隐喻,指出死隐喻是隐喻性已衰竭的概念及语言,具有失源性、规约性、字面性、无意识性、语境独立等特征。此外,本研究还梳理和辨析了字面隐喻、规约隐喻、既定隐喻、词化隐喻、化石隐喻等相关术语,完善丰富了死隐喻研究。The paper reviews definitions of dead metaphor in terms of four characteristics： metaphoricity fading, unoriginality, isolation and semantic justification. It also redefines dead metaphors as the concepts and linguistic expressions which carry little or no metaphoricity. Dead metaphors bear six design features： conventionality; unconsciousness; unoriginality; literalness; semantic automaticity and context independency. Besides, the paper also sheds light on dead metaphor studies by investigating and distinguishing between related terms such as literal metaphor, conventional metaphor, established metaphor, lexicalized metaphor and fossilized metaphor.
