自從Lakoff和Johnson(1980)的《我們賴以生存的隱喻》出版以來,關(guān)于隱喻在人類生活不同領(lǐng)域的普遍應(yīng)用和解釋的學術(shù)著作和研究源源不斷。有關(guān)隱喻的文獻綜述表明,隱喻研究在教學語境中,尤其在第二語言環(huán)境下,學生作文的隱喻研究方面尚未得到批判性的研究。事實上,尼日利亞學術(shù)界對以英語為第二語言的學習者的隱喻表達沒有給予任何關(guān)注。因此,本研究以尼日利亞ESL大學生為研究對象,對其英語作文中的概念隱喻進行了調(diào)查,旨在發(fā)現(xiàn)學生作文中的概念隱喻,該研究結(jié)果以期對改善尼日利亞大學教育系統(tǒng)二語教學有一定指導作用。在研究過程中,作者以Lakoff&Johnson的概念隱喻理論(CMT)、Vygotsky的社會文化理論(SCT)和Oxford等人(1998)的四種教育哲學觀點為理論框架。本研究的數(shù)據(jù)來源于測試和問卷調(diào)查,并以此為研究工具,對尼日利亞貢貝州的聯(lián)邦大學Kashere(FUK)的240名學生和貢貝州立大學(GSU)的240名學生進行抽樣調(diào)查。收集的數(shù)據(jù)用簡明的百分比進行分析,以回答提出的研究問題。研究分析表明,尼日利亞ESL大學生作文中共有68個不同的概念隱喻組,其中:關(guān)于教師的...
