Expressions of resistance to violence metaphors for cancer provide important insights as to how these metaphors are perceived and which specific aspects of their use are deemed inapt or inappropriate by actual language users. The first objective of this paper is to examine different types of resistance standpoints that are expressed in critical responses to violence metaphors for cancer as well as the different metaphor dimensions these standpoints are focused on. Secondly, the paper aims to demonstrate the value of a close analysis of standpoints of resistance to metaphor from a combined argumentation theoretical and metaphor theoretical perspective. It will be shown how a combined argumentation theoretical and metaphor theoretical framework constitutes a useful and structured method for understanding the nature of resistance standpoints and the specific dimension(s) of metaphor they address. In this paper the combined framework will be put into practice in six case studies, each illustrating different manners in which language users express their disapproval of a particular use of violence metaphors for cancer.

“大声喊叫,不要称我为战士”:抵制癌症暴力隐喻的立场

对癌症的暴力隐喻的抗性表达为人们提供了重要的见解,这些隐喻是如何理解这些隐喻以及实际语言使用者认为其使用的哪些特定方面不合适或不合适的。本文的第一个目标是研究在对癌症的暴力隐喻的批判性回应中表达的不同类型的抗拒立场,以及这些立场所关注的不同隐喻维度。其次,本文旨在从论证理论和隐喻理论的结合角度论证对隐喻抵抗立场进行深入分析的价值。它将说明论证理论和隐喻理论的组合框架如何构成一种有用的结构化方法,用于理解反抗立场的性质及其所解决的隐喻的具体方面。在本文中,将通过六个案例研究将合并后的框架付诸实践,每个案例都说明语言使用者以不同方式表达他们不同意暴力隐喻在癌症中的特殊用法。
