摘　　要：目前学界对于地名中的隐喻和转喻在地理命名中的角色和作用尚需给予更多重视。该研究基于认知语言学中隐喻和转喻的概念映射理论,综合运用案例分析和统计分析的方法,对香港地区地名中通名的隐喻和转喻进行研究,揭示两者在香港地区地名形成过程中的认知机制及应用规律,归纳出两大命名倾向,即人文地理类通名转喻命名法和自然类通名隐喻命名法。前者以地理环境作为概念映射的源域,通过转喻利用事物的临近性为人文地理实体命名,后者则以人体、地理环境为源域,通过隐喻利用事物特征的相似性为自然地理实体命名。该研究的结果不仅深化了在认知语言学和术语学上对地理通名的理解,还扩展了概念映射理论的应用范围,为命名和术语生成研究增添新的维度。Due attention has yet to be paid from the research community to the role and function played by metaphors and metonymies in place names.Informed by the theory of conceptual metaphor and metonymy,the present study takes advantage of both case study and statistical analysis to delve into these linguistic phenomena involved in the generic terms of Hong Kong region places names,revealing the cognitive mechanisms and underlying principles about their involvement in the formation of the generic terms and bringing to light two primary approaches to naming,namely,metonymical mapping for human geographic entities based on contiguity of objects,with geographic environment as the source domain of the conceptual mapping,and metaphorical mapping for natural geographical entities based on similarity of objects,with human body or geographic environment as the source domain.This study not only deepens our understanding of Hong Kong region place names from the perspectives of cognitive linguistics and terminology,but also expands the scope of application of the theory of conceptual metaphor and metonymy,bringing in a new dimension of research on naming and term generation.
