） 题目：英语基本颜色词的隐喻研究 A Metaphorical Study on the English Basic Color Terms 摘　要 【摘要】 隐喻是词义的主要来源。颜色词中蕴含了很多隐喻含义。本文主要研究英语基本颜色词的隐喻。本文在隐喻投射理论的框架下，借助“黑”，“白”，“红”三个英语基本颜色词作为研究对象就颜色词隐喻根据以及隐喻机制之间的关系等两个方面展开研究。研究发现英语基本颜色词的隐喻机制主要有三种，分别是从具体源域投射到抽象目的域，从具体源域投射到具体目的域以及从抽象源域投射到抽象目的域。同时，本文还发现构词结构相似的颜色词具有相似的隐喻机制，构词结构相似而颜色词词义相反的词，隐喻含义相反。 【关键词】基本颜色词；隐喻； 隐喻机制 A Metaphorical Study on the English Basic Color Terms Abstract 【ABSTRACT】Metaphor is the main way to develop new meanings of words. English basic color terms embody various metaphorical meaning. So this thesis studies metaphors of English basic color terms. Based on the theory of metaphorical mappings, this thesis cites black, white and red as examples to analyze the groundings of metaphors and metaphorical mechanisms of basic color terms. In terms of physical and emotional experiences, metaphorical mechanisms of English basic color terms are classified into three types: 1) mappings between concrete source domains and abstract target domains; 2) mappings between concrete source domains and concrete target domains; 3) mappings between abstract source domains and abstract target domains. Besides, this thesis also finds color terms in similar structures share similar metaphorical mechanisms and phrases with opposite color terms have opposite metaphorical meanings. 【KEYWORDS】English basic color terms; metaphor; metaphorical mechanisms Contents 诚 信 承 诺 I 摘　要 II A Metaphorical Study on the English Basic Color Terms III Abstract III Contents IV 1 Introduction 1 1.1 Background Significance 1 1.2 Theoretic Framework 1 1.3 Subject Data Collection 2 2 Literature Review 3 2.1 Previous Studies on Color Terms in Foreign Countries 3 2.2 Previous Studies on Color Terms in China 3 3 Metaphors of English Color Terms 5 3.1 Metaphors Based on Physical Experiences 5 3.2 Metaphors based on Emotional Experiences 9 4 Implication and Conclusion 13 4.1 Implication 13 4.2 Conclusion 14 References 15 Acknowledgements 16 Introduction Background Significan
