走和平發展之道路：中華人民共和國代表在聯大的政治隱喻用法

Abstract

本論文以Lakoff、Kövecses以及其他學者所發展的概念隱喻理論嘗試探討中文裡面的政治隱喻。分析資料為中華人民共和國代表每年於聯合國大會一般性論上發表的演講，而分析部分針對旅行、戰爭及建築等三種隱喻類別。通過精細的檢查，筆者將辨識的三種隱喻分為最常見的類型，及應用概念隱喻理論來分析結果。分析的意義在於凸顯中文政治隱喻的功能及起底下所存在的認知機制。

This thesis examines three categories of metaphors used by the Chinese representative in international contexts. It focuses on speeches made at the General Debates of the United Nations General Assembly, and draws on the methods of Conceptual Metaphor Theory, as articulated by scholars including George Lakoff, Zoltan Kövecses and others. Through a systematic examination of the speeches used by the CCP, I identify and sort the metaphors into common types and utilise the aforementioned theory to analyse them. In so doing, I highlight the functions of metaphor usage in Chinese political discourse and its underlying cognitive mechanisms.
