This article is concerned with the downsides of using the language of professionalism in educational discourse. It suggests that the language of professionalization can be a powerful rhetorical device for promoting welcome and necessary changes in the field of teaching but that, in doing so, it can unintentionally misrepresent the work that teachers do. Taking as a theoretical framework Lakoff and Johnson's metaphor theory, the article argues that ‘teacher as professional’ should be seen as a metaphor of teaching on par with other metaphors familiar from the history of educational thought. What metaphors of teaching have in common, the article advances, is that they systematically highlight certain aspects of teaching while hiding others. The significance of this conclusion is twofold. Appreciating the limits of the ‘teacher as professional’ metaphor provides guidance about how to use more effectively ‘professionalism’ as a normative standard for promoting change in teaching and teacher education. Second, appreciating the metaphorical character of ‘teacher as professional’ has heuristic value in that it offers a novel explanation for the controversial trend towards conceptualising teaching in narrowly instructional terms.  相似文献

文章以文化与语言、文化与隐喻的关系为切入点,首先从文化差异的视角,通过比较英、汉、蒙三种语言的隐喻表达的异同,重点分析了文化对隐喻翻译的影响问题。其次,对字面意思与隐喻意义的关系,翻译的不确定性,隐喻的可改述性和隐喻的可译性等隐喻翻译的若干问题展开了讨论。最后建议在保持多元文化的同时为了避免文化冲突现象的发生,在外语教学中既要强调隐喻所呈现的中西方文化的差异,同时有必要在汉族与其他少数民族或少数民族之间的在隐喻所体现的文化差异方面进行更深层次的研究和探索,这对我国外语教学有一定的启示。  相似文献

Metaphor and metaphorical expressions are phenomenon of interest in teacher education research, critical race literature, and research on black communicative practices. Only marginal concerted attention has been paid to students’ metaphorical expressions, and what these expressions might tell us about students’ racial identities and lived experiences. This study explores the metaphorical language that nine black youth used to describe what it means to be black in their social and political context. Data collected through the metaphor elicitation prompt, ‘Being black is like …,’ is presented to probe participants’ understandings of race, racial identity, and urban society. Conclusions indicate that abstract or indirect conversations about race may provide teachers and other hearers of students’ metaphors a greater understanding of and empathy toward students’ needs, experiences, and identities.  相似文献

Picture books, as both sophisticated aesthetic objects and literary texts, provide the ideal site for critically examining how values and ideology are transmitted to children. How the child reader might be affected by the process of reading a picture book—that is, how he or she might be moved emotionally and potentially gain new insights about the world—is of interest to scholars and educators alike. This article draws upon cognitive literary theory as a conceptual frame through which to explore the cognitive and emotional affect that reading may have upon children. “Reader response” and “cultural criticism” are approaches to literature that seek to understand how readers interact with texts. Cognitive theory, when applied to literature, builds on these discourses by focusing on why reading fiction might cause the brain to produce emotional and cognitive responses in readers. As metaphors are a feature of language and of thought, a study of the metaphorical in picture books aptly lends itself to the theoretical framework offered by cognitive literary theory. Drawing on examples from four picture books produced for children, broadly correlating to different developmental stages, this article examines the role of metaphor in encouraging skills in decoding and creative thinking. Talking to children about visual metaphor or metaphorical expression introduces them to a feature of language and thought that provides a conceptual frame for richer understanding and expression of ideas. Examining how the metaphorical operates in picture books thus takes us a step closer to understanding how the process of reading affects children and enriches their lives.  相似文献

以想象为基础的隐喻在本质上是抽象的,假设性喻体普遍存在于隐喻表达中,在隐喻意义的建构和解读中发挥着特殊重要的作用。作为隐喻结构重要组成部分和在隐喻意义建构中对喻体作用的重要补充,隐喻延展是假设性喻体研究中不可或缺的部分。本文从性质和语言结构两方面对假设性喻体和隐喻延展进行细致分类,阐示不同分类中隐喻意义传递的方式和特点。  相似文献

This article argues that much of the meaning of artworks comes through metaphors, though we do not always recognise them as such. The argument draws on the work of Lakoff & Johnson, who assert a similar claim about metaphors in general (especially in language). It analyses the notion of a visual metaphor, gives a number of illustrations and claims that, contrary to linguistic metaphors, there can usefully be more than one visual metaphor (‘mixed metaphors’) active in a visual image and that visual metaphors can be interpreted in both directions. Verticality is presented as one basic metaphor in visual images.  相似文献

语料库研究显示,概念隐喻中只有4.36%被交际者真正用作隐喻。为了解释这一现象,学者提出了刻意性隐喻理论,在语言维度和概念维度的基础上引入隐喻的交际维度,并提出了隐喻的刻意性机制,是隐喻研究值得关注的新动向。该理论在刻意性隐喻的界定、刻意性的识别、隐喻心理加工和研究方法等方面还面临很多问题,本文尝试集中对四方面的问题和挑战进行梳理分析,并对将来发展趋势做出展望,旨在促进交际维度刻意性隐喻研究的融合与深入。  相似文献

The meaning of the term energy varies widely in scientific and colloquial discourse. Teasing apart the different connotations of the term can be especially challenging for non-science majors. In this study, undergraduate students taking an interdisciplinary, general science course (n?=?49) were asked to explain the role of energy in five contexts: radiation, transportation, generating electricity, earthquakes, and the big bang theory. The responses were qualitatively analyzed under the framework of conceptual metaphor theory. This study presents evidence that non-science major students spontaneously use metaphorical language that is consistent with the conceptual metaphors of energy previously identified in the discourse of students in introductory physics, biology, and chemistry courses. Furthermore, most students used multiple coherent metaphors to explain the role of energy in these complex topics. This demonstrates that these conceptual metaphors for energy have broader applicability than just traditional scientific contexts. Implications for this work as a formative assessment tool in instruction will also be discussed.  相似文献

This paper takes up Shannon Rodgers’ 2016 critique of curriculum writers’ call for observable verbs (‘Minding our metaphors in education.’ Educational Philosophy and Theory 48 (6), pp. 563–578), and argues that a more effective line of critique should focus not on metaphorical thinking, but on the notion of observation itself, by way of Nietzsche on metaphor, the history of astronomy, the non-existence of dragons and dissuading indigenous people from voting.  相似文献

Metaphors are devices that people employ for both poetic purposes and rhetorical elaboration and belong to the realm of extraordinary language. Metaphors are used to connect abstract ideas and information to more concrete experiences, thus making these experiences more familiar and easier to understand. Moreover, metaphors are more than symbolic intellectual processes; they influence the conceptual understanding of our experiences and help define our everyday realities. For education, there is an important and relevant practical connection between the metaphors that teachers employ and their beliefs about teaching and classroom practices. This stems from the notion that metaphors guide one’s mental framework. In order to gain a deeper understanding of the metaphors influencing teachers in gifted education, this study specifically asked teachers to describe both their metaphors concerning gifted students as well as those influencing their teaching. In this study, nine different themes were identified. This research demonstrates a clear connection between reported metaphors and how gifted students receive their education from teachers. Participants’ answers demonstrate a strong connection between their metaphors and their classroom practices. However, strict adherence to one’s root metaphor increases the chance for dogmatism in the classroom and can lead to potentially incoherent classroom differentiation and a potential disconnect between classroom practices and the actual pedagogical needs of the gifted learner.  相似文献

运用系统功能语言学理论从语用层面分析了语言的隐喻使用。首先对语用隐喻作了界定,然后对两种主要语用隐喻作了阐述:一种是非委婉隐喻,另一种是委婉隐喻。非委婉隐喻就是在交际中使用表面有礼貌、听上去顺耳的语言去表达对听话人的不尊敬。而委婉隐喻是用粗鲁的、不规则的,有时甚至使用禁忌语去表达对听话人的友好甚至深情。  相似文献

隐喻思维与外语教学   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
根据认知语言学对隐喻研究的成果,可以从四个方面探讨隐喻概念对外语教学的影响,即隐喻思维与语言信息的内化,隐喻概念与英语同义结构的辨析,隐喻表达的文化内涵,隐喻思维与教学理念的更新。这表明隐喻不仅仅是一种语言的修饰手段,更是人们思维和认知的工具,在语言教学中具有很强的实用意义。  相似文献

‘Curriculum Christianity’   总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1  
Whilst religious education in the present may be seen to assume new roles and be perceived to be more about process than content, questions about content and the ways in which ‘faiths’ are represented cannot ultimately be avoided. This article focuses on recent Agreed Syllabuses with particular reference to the place they give to Christianity and their representation of this faith tradition. It suggests that lists of content provided by syllabuses continue to prosper the reification of the tradition and mask issues which need to be addressed with respect to Christianity in religious education. Most urgent among these are the contextualisation and the ‘opening up’ of this tradition to an informed critical reflection.  相似文献
