泰国汉语学习者动物隐喻理解偏误分析及对策研究 ——以暖武里府A高校为例

Abstract

动物词语不仅是词汇系统的重要组成部分，同时也是一个较大的语义场。其在传达自身概念意义的同时，还蕴含着丰富的文化信息。因此， 动物词语不仅是打开人类民族文化宝库大门的一把金钥匙，同时也是一种探究人类与思维关系的重要媒介和途径。本文的研究目的在于探究泰国汉语学习者动物隐喻的理解策略，提高学习效率，完善汉泰语词汇的认知研究。基于认知语言学、文化语义学、概念隐喻等理论的基础之上，对汉泰动物词语的象征义进行比较分析；在此基础上编制泰国学生汉语动物隐喻理解的调查问卷，调查、了解泰国学生在汉语学习过程中的动物隐喻的理解现状，偏误原因。研究发现泰国学习者在理解汉语动物隐喻的过程中,分别使用母语文化知识、语境信息、心理联想、视觉直观信息作为主要的理解策略。因此教学中，教师需要重视母语知识和目的语知识、上下文语境以及联想思维等来培养泰国学习者的汉语理解能力。

Animal-related terms are not only a vital component of the lexical system but also constitute a significant semantic field. While conveying their literal meanings, they also embody rich cultural information. Thus, animal terms serve as a golden key to unlocking the treasure troves of human cultural heritage and provide an important medium and pathway for exploring the relationship between human cognition and thought. The purpose of this study is to investigate the strategies used by Thai learners of Chinese in understanding animal metaphors, enhance their learning efficiency, and contribute to the cognitive research on Chinese and Thai vocabulary. Based on theories such as cognitive linguistics, cultural semantics, and conceptual metaphor, this research conducts a comparative analysis of the symbolic meanings of animal terms in Chinese and Thai. Building on this analysis, a questionnaire is developed to survey and examine the understanding and common errors of Thai students regarding Chinese animal metaphors during their language-learning process. The findings reveal that Thai learners employ strategies such as utilizing native cultural knowledge, contextual information, psychological associations, and visual intuitive information to comprehend Chinese animal metaphors. In light of these findings, educators should emphasize the integration of native language knowledge, target language knowledge, contextual clues, and associative thinking to cultivate Thai learners' comprehension abilities in Chinese.
