摘　　要：语言的隐喻普遍性表明对隐喻的掌握在语言能力发展过程中具有十分重要的意义。在功能语言学理论范畴内,语言发展涉及三个方面:即语言种系发生(phylogenesis)、个体发生(ontogenesis)、语篇发生(logogenesis)。语言的个体发生涉及个体的语言发展情况,反映出从简单到复杂、从具体到抽象、从直白式到隐喻式的语言发展规律。由于语言的隐喻性,语言学习者学会使用隐喻表达的能力以及理解隐喻的能力通常被看成是语言能力发展的标志。因此,在语言教学中有意识地培养学生的隐喻能力是一种有效的语言教学方式。从语言个体发生的角度来探究语言学习者隐喻能力的发展规律,有望挖掘出在外语教学中培养学习者隐喻能力的参考价值。The metaphoric feature of language is universal so that the mastery of metaphor is crucial in the language development. In the Systemic-functional theory, language development is related to three aspects, namely the phylogenesis of language, the ontogenesis of individual language, and the logogenesis of discourse. The ontogenesis is related to the language development of an individual, reflecting his/her language development from simple to complex, from concrete to abstract, and from congruent to metaphorical. In fact, that the children learn to be good at meaning-expression means to learn to communicate effectively by using language. Metaphor is prevalent in language, and thus the competence a language learner has obtained to express oneself in terms of metaphor and the ability to understand metaphors can be taken as criteria for language development. Therefore, an intentional cultivation of metaphoric competence in language teaching would be a very important and effective pedagogical approach for both language instructors and learners. This paper is to probe into the development of language learner 's metaphoric competence from an ontogenetic perspective, aiming at some implication for foreign language teaching.
