從心理空間理論解讀現代詩〈床戲〉中的隱喻

Interpreting Metaphors in the Modern Poem “Chuang-xi” (Sex Scene) Within the Framework of Mental Space Theory

本文以心理空間理論來分析現代詩〈床戲〉的隱喻現象，希望透過認知語言學理論的分析，呈現詩中的隱喻結構以及歧義產生的背後機制。本文討論了詩人如何在詩中結合詞的多義現象和「框架」的認知概念，進而很巧妙地應用「框架轉換」的策略讓「床戲」這個詞產生歧義，並引發一系列的隱喻重新詮釋現象，為此文學作品帶來隱藏在字面下的弦外之音。本文的研究除了探討潛藏在詩中的涵義，同時也解析了讀者理解詩中隱喻的思維過程。

This paper discusses metaphors in the modern poem “Chuang-Xi”(sex scene , literally translated as ‘bed-play') within the framework of mental space theory, and aims to explain what the structures of metaphors look like and what has brought about ambiguous interpretations in the poem. It is pointed out how the poet employs the polysemy of lexical item chuang-xi ‘sex scene' and the cognitive concept of frame-shifting to create the ambiguity in the poem, as a result bringing a series of metaphorical interpretations. In addition to the metaphorical meanings, this research also helps us understand how the metaphors are processed by the reader when reading a poem.
