摘要
本文从佛教经典《宝积经》着手,运用概念隐喻及概念合成理论分析其中的比喻用法,主要讨论赞菩萨功德和结劝中的大精进学和法船喻共计39喻,希望能从中(1)发现《宝积经》中所使用的比喻的特点,(2)分析这些比喻表达背后可能存在的概念隐喻系统,(3)讨论比喻的使用对佛教教义的阐释和弘扬佛法所起的作用。
This paper attempts to make a case study of the metaphorical expressions in the Buddhist sutra Bao Ji Jing from the cognitive perspective provided by the conceptual metaphor theory and the conceptual blending theory, aiming at discovering the conceptual system behind those metaphorical expressions and investigating what kind of role conceptual metaphors play in constructing and interpreting Buddhist doctrines. Altogether 39 metaphorical expressions in Bao Ji Jing have been analyzed. It has been found that （1） metaphorical expressions are typically used for legitimizing Buddhist doctrines and, to a lesser degree, delegitimizing non-Buddhist doctrines; （2） the metaphorical expressions detected are usually highly consistent in structure, with a few or even over a dozen appearing in parallelism; and （3） often a metaphor is composed of a major source concept and a minor source concept on the one hand, and a major target concept and a minor target concept on the other, with the relationship between the former mapped onto that of the latter.
