汉语隐喻理解的逻辑描述初探

隐喻在语篇中出现非常普遍,是语言认知和计算机语篇理解中重要的一环。但无论是其逻辑基础或实验系统的探索都处于初级阶段。本文从逻辑角度给出了隐喻逻辑的定义、建构和性质。同时,针对汉语文本中名词性隐喻、动词性隐喻等类型,细化了隐喻逻辑的规则,并利用细化后的规则,分析了隐喻句中隐含信息的发掘方法,为隐喻的计算提供了新的解决方案。分析的结果表明,本文所提出的隐喻逻辑对汉语隐喻意义的生成有很好的解释能力,为后续隐喻句的计算机处理提供了理论基础。

Study on Logical description of Chinese Metaphor Comprehension

People always encounter metaphor phenomenon in daily life. It plays an important role in language epistemology and discourse understanding. But its logic system and computational method researches are all in the early stage. The paper creates a metaphor logic system by giving definition , constructing , and analyzing the properties of the logic. The paper also fractionizes the rules of the logic to analyze Chinese sentences containing nominal metaphor , verbal metaphor and so on. Then it uses a logical method to uncover the latent information of metaphorical sentences based on metaphor logic system. The logic system we proposed here gives a new method for Chinese metaphor comprehension in natural language processing field. The result shows that the metaphor logic has good capability to analyze the metaphor sentences' meaning. It gives instructional method for computer to perform metaphor comprehension.
