从主观性角度看能源危机叙事的可爱隐喻
Cute Metaphors in Energy Crisis Narratives from a Subjectivity Perspective
摘要
Abstract
This paper focuses on the crisis narrative to explore the subjective expressions and strategies by employing research methods such as conversation analysis,functional grammar,and discourse narrative and by taking the energy crisis narrative as the research ob-ject and corpus source.The research findings indicate that in order to bridge the psychological gap between the speaker and the liste-ner,to enhance the acceptability of negative expressions,and to achieve discursive harmony,narrators often adopt a childlike perspec-tive in a cute narrative style.This results in a blend of storytelling with political discourse,dialogue with subjectivity,simulation with narrative realism,intertextuality with monotony,and perspective with visual immediacy,which all constitute the typical features differ-entiating cute narratives from serious reports.The misalignments between cute expressions and serious event narratives are mainly mani-fested in the following linguistic patterns,including the referential features of child-oriented comparison,egocentric perspectives,and vivid image depiction.This paper further analyzes the metaphors of modality in tragic crisis and the childlike comedies,and argues that societal roles,vitality and actions of human and animals metaphorically represent the power,prestige and outcome in the energy crisis,in conformity with people̍s optimistic tendencies,of childhood reminiscences,root memes,psychological perceptions,and"I"as the center of cognitive psychology.It also reflects subjective narrative strategies such as on-the-spot presentation,psychological distance,embodied metaphors,counter-expectation credentials,and defamiliarized expressions.In conclusion,narrating the energy crisis in a cute way is the psychological instinct in human language expressions and adopting empathetic metaphors for negative events aligns with the communication law of ecological harmony.关键词
