摘　　要：本文尝试将认知语义学的隐喻和转喻理论与认知语法的识解理论进行融合,借以考察隐喻构词、转喻构词以及隐转喻构词背后的认知理据。研究表明:1)聚焦、突显、视角和详略度等识解方式单独或交叉作用于隐喻和转喻构词;2)地域和社会文化等要素的不同导致英汉识解方式上存在差异,而这种差异又导致两种语言在隐喻和转喻构词上存在不对称性;3)隐喻和转喻理论与识解理论之间的接口研究可以用来解释构词等语言现象背后的认知理据,由此,认知语法理论可以用来解释词义等语义现象背后的认知理据。This paper attempts to investigate into the cognitive motivation underlying word-formation based on metaphor, metonymy and metaphonymy, by unifying the theory of metaphor and metonymy of cognitive semantics and that of construal of cognitive grammar. The study shows that 1) the four construal devices of focusing, prominence, perspective and specificity play a role in metaphorand metonymy-based word-formation independently or cooperatively; 2) different factors such as geography and social culture lead to discrepancy in construal between English and Chinese, which further leads to asymmetry in metaphor-and metonymy-based word-formation between the two languages; 3) the interface between the theory of metaphor and metonymy and that of construal can be used to account for the cognitive motivation underlying word-formation, which helps to prove the applicability of cognitive grammar in the account of the cognitive motivation underlying(lexical) semantic phenomena.
