摘　　要：名转动词是名词通过隐喻机制转化而来的动词,具有认知经济性和意象生动性的特点,名转动词产出是二语学习者隐喻能力发展的重要表现。本文设计有语境的汉-英翻译实验,通过分析86名被试名转动词的产出频率,考察不同水平学习者隐喻能力发展问题。结果表明:(1)学习者名转动词产出频率显著偏低,隐喻能力较弱;(2)学习者二语水平越高,名转动词产出频率越高,隐喻能力越强;(3)语言表层结构对于名转动词产出频率有显著影响。本研究从特定词类产出视角考察学习者隐喻能力发展,为名转动词产出和二语者隐喻能力研究提供实证数据支持。Denominal verbs,the verbs converted from nouns,can promote the cognitive preciseness and imagery vividness of language expression.The production of denominal verbs can partially show EFL learners’metaphorical competence.Based on the analysis of 86 participants’production of denominal verbs,the research investigated Chinese EFL learners’competence of metaphorical construction and production.The results showed that:(1)The production frequency of the denominal verbs was significantly lower than that of the non-metaphorical verbs(phrases),which suggested that the overall metaphorical competence of EFL learners required further improvement;(2)The production frequency of denominal verbs was significantly influenced by L2 proficiency,suggesting that the metaphorical production competence could be enhanced with the development of language proficiency;(3)The lexicalization of Chinese words could significantly influence the production of denominal verbs and metaphors as well.The research,which investigated the metaphorical competence from certain lexical category,could provide empirical data for the theoretical analysis of denominal verbs and metaphorical competence.
