摘要: 转喻不只是一种简单的修辞格,更是一种人类基本的认知方式。转喻主要依靠邻近原则、突显原则和因果原则而发生作用。以邻近原则和突显原则为驱动,产生的主要转喻运作模式包括部分代替整体、整体代替部分以及部分代替部分;以因果原则为驱动,主要体现为以因代果和以果代因的模式。这些转喻模式不仅能对英语文学作品中的常规辞格做出阐释,还能作用于英语文学语篇的组织结构,为文本中有助于构建叙事结构的重复、铺垫、间接言语等艺术化修辞提供理据。转喻对于英语文学语篇的阐释,有助于人们领略多种修辞格的魅力,迅速把握文本主旨,预测情节,识解文本的隐含信息等。当然,转喻的阐释不是随意的,必须遵循语境因素的制约。

Abstract: Metonymy is not only a simple rhetoric pattern, but a kind of basic cognitive style of human beings. Metonymy mainly operates on proximity principle, prominence principle and principle of causality. Driven by the principles of proximity and prominence, metonymy is achieved with part replacing the whole, the whole replacing the part and the part replacing the part. Driven by the principle of causality, it is achieved with reasons replacing results and results replacing reasons. These metonymy patterns not only explain conventional rhetoric in English literary works, but apply to organizational structure in literary discourse, which provides theoretical basis for artistic rhetoric in constructing repetition, bedding, and indirect speech of narrative structure. Metonymy explanation to English literary works help people to enjoy a variety of rhetorical formats, to quickly command the theme of texts, and to predict the plot and distinguish the implicit information. Explanation of metonymy cannot be done casually, and must follow the limits of contextual factors.

Key words: metonymy, defamiliarization rhetoric, artistic rhetoric, discourse, context
