ABSTRACT

This study analyzes the immigration speech delivered by Donald J.Trump during his 2016 presidential election campaign in Arizona. Using the tenor-vehicle model of metaphor, the study identifies an unconventional metaphorical function in the speech. While a more traditional pattern of metaphorical language is absent in his speech, the function of his phrases, analyzed in this study, conforms to the usual form of the language of metaphors. Though metaphors are generally nouns or pronouns in the tenor-vehicle model, Trump’s metaphors are expressed in verbs or verb phrases. The findings extend the tenor-vehicle model beyond its traditional pattern of metaphorical function. The findings also call for further study to look into Trump’s other speeches aiming to understand the unconventional way of metaphorical function from broader perspectives.

唐纳德·特朗普的移民演说:隐喻如何传达信息

摘要

这项研究分析了唐纳德·特朗普(Donald J.Trump)在2016年亚利桑那州总统竞选期间发表的移民演讲。该研究使用隐喻的时态-车辆模型,确定了语音中的非常规隐喻功能。尽管他的演讲中没有一种较传统的隐喻语言模式,但本研究分析了他的短语的功能,符合隐喻语言的通常形式。虽然隐喻在男高音车辆模型中通常是名词或代词,但特朗普的隐喻是用动词或动词短语表达的。这些发现扩展了男高音模型,超越了传统的隐喻功能模式。调查结果还要求进一步研究,以调查特朗普的其他演讲,这些演讲旨在从更广阔的角度理解隐喻功能的非常规方式。
