本研究探討臺灣總統演講中使用「戰爭(WAR)」來概念化「民主(DEMOCRACY)」的隱喻情節(scenario)用法,以及其所隱含之意識形態。本研究整合來源域驗證、隱喻情境識別程序和語篇歷史分析的分析框架,分析來源域及其隱喻情節,並詮釋及討論其所隱含之意識形態。研究結果表明,即使總統在戰爭隱喻中使用相同的隱喻情節來概念化民主,他們對民主的評價並不相同,所隱含之意識形態意涵也不相同。本研究奠基於實用且嚴謹的分析框架,提供實證證據,支持、驗證並擴展現有隱喻理論中的理論假設。

This study explores how a single scenario/aspect of WAR in conceptualizing DEMOCRACY gives rise to various and different ideological implications in Taiwan presidential addresses. An analytical framework integrating source domain verification, scenario identification procedure and discourse-historical approach is adopted to identify source domains and scenarios and to interpret ideological implications. The findings demonstrate that even though presidents use the same aspect offensive and defensive processes in war to conceptualize DEMOCRACY, they do not cast the same evaluation and do not hold the same ideological implications toward democracy. This paper not only extends the empirical aspects of Conceptual Metaphor Theory but also amplifies the findings existing in the extant literature.
