摘　　要：认知隐喻理论虽对隐喻研究贡献巨大,但因其过于强调跨域概念投射,隐喻所提供的丰富感官体验被严重忽视,隐喻的意义潜势被贫困化。该视角下的具身体验理论更多涉及的是本体感受,导致语境在隐喻解读中变成冗余信息。Davidson的假说否定隐喻的概念意义表达功能,强调其指向功能,认为隐喻意义只有通过使用过程分析才能得以破解。根据该假说,隐喻促使读者依据各自的生活经历,在栩栩如生的感官体验语境中对世界进行重新认知和重新构建。该假说能使隐喻分析摆脱从概念到概念的分析怪圈,能更好地解释隐喻的认知功能。Ab The cognitive approach to metaphor has made an enormous contribution to the research of metaphor. This approach, however, has bypassed the complexities of perceptual experiences, and its construal of embodied experience is essentially proprioceptive. As perceptual experiences are translated into primary conceptual metaphors in this approach and multi-dimensional metaphorical experiences are pared down to one-dimensional conceptual cross-domain mappings, metaphorical experience is considerably impoverished. Davidson （1978） denies conceptual content to metaphors and treats them as prompts that direct our attention to the relations that metaphors set up between entities. He proposes that the key role of metaphor is not mapping but prompting a return to the primary experiential domains for a cognitive reconstruction. Hence, his theory can save metaphorical analyses from the conceptual trap, offering a better account of the cognitive functions of metaphor.
