摘　　要：对视觉隐喻进行拓扑性质的研究和分析是隐喻研究的一个新课题。视觉隐喻指其本体和喻体都能用视觉器官感知的那些隐喻;拓扑性质指拓扑学所说的平面几何图形在连续变换下保持不变这一性质。隐喻的一个特征表现为"本体域是喻体域",即喻体对于本体具有拓扑性质的不变性;喻体与本体是同胚的和共相的,这就体现了隐喻在变换下保持不变这一性质。共相表现为本体与喻体是相同、相似、相应或相关的;从观察可知,这同德国数学家克莱因根据变换群在"爱尔朗根计划"提出的对几何作出的分类:欧几里得几何、仿射几何、射影几何、拓扑几何所发生的变换大体是对应的。Topological approach to visual metaphor is a new way to deal with metaphor. Visual metaphor refers to the kind of metaphor in which both the tenor and the vehicle are perceptual objects perceived by ocular organ. To-pologieal nature refers to the kind of property of spatial objects which shows invariance over continuous transforma- tion. The topological nature of metaphor is realized in the formula of ＇Target （domain） is source （domain） ＇ , that is , the tenor and the vehicle are in a state of homomorphism and constitute a pair of universals, which demonstrate the states, respectively, of sameness, similarity, correspondence, and relevance. This will bring about to the meta- phor the property of invariance over transformation. These four states of universal are somewhat in correspondence to the four types of transformation in Euclidean geometry, affine geometry, projective geometry, and topological geom- etry, the classification of which was based on transformation group suggested by F. Klein in his famous Erlangen Program.
